After graduation: where graduates go

WSB Merito University in Toruń offers IT in Business as a second-cycle degree: four semesters, English as the language of instruction, full-time classes held partly online and partly on site. The programme is for people with a first degree who see themselves at the head of IT projects and teams.

Programme: strategy, market and machines

The curriculum mixes boardroom subjects with technical ones. A Managerial Competence Workshop and Business Forecasting prepare you for leading people, E-marketing looks at the commercial side, and Software Commercialization and Distribution follows a product to its buyers. On the technical side you meet Elements of Digital Technology, Programmable Logic Devices and the way computer networks are built.

The course also builds concrete abilities. Databases are examined from the viewpoint of design and everyday operation, artificial intelligence algorithms are put to work on analysis and business problems, and you learn to draft a specification for an information system and plan a complex IT architecture. Another thread is business software that supports decisions, and leading an IT team that works remotely.

Specialisation: IT Project Manager

⇑Definitions and quotes

Business

Business is the activity of making one's living or making money by producing or buying and selling goods or services. Simply put, it is "any activity or enterprise entered into for profit. It does not mean it is a company, a corporation, partnership, or have any such formal organization, but it can range from a street peddler to General Motors." The term is also often used colloquially (but not by lawyers or public officials) to refer to a company, but this article will not deal with that sense of the word.

I never can make out how it is that a knight-errant does not expect to be paid for his trouble, but a peddler-errant always does.

Business

Somewhere in the past. organizations were quite simple, and 'doing business' consisted of buying raw material from suppliers, converting into products, and selling it to customers... For the most part owner-entrepreneurs founded such simple business and worked along with members of their families. The family-dominated business still accounts for a large portion of the business start today.
