• knowledge – a set of descriptions of facts, principles, theories and practices assimilated during the learning process, relating to a field of learning or professional activity,

• skills - the ability to carry out tasks and solve problems related to the relevant field of learning or professional activity,

• social competence - the ability to shape one’s own development, as well as the autonomous and responsible participation in professional life and society, taking into account the ethical context of one’s own behaviour.

All students are obliged to follow the study regulations. The regulations include crucial information about students’ rights and obligations, grading and courses completing, diploma dissertation and examination, etc.
