For candidate identification, they must present an identity document with a photograph in front of the camera at the beginning of the interview. Candidates must be present in the Teams interview room at least 10 minutes before the scheduled time.

DESCRIPTION

Tests 1 and 2 consist of assessing the candidate’s skills through an oral exam/interview based on topics from the announced bibliography. The oral exam is organized as a discussion (interview) between the candidate and the examination board. Candidates will be assessed based on their personal motivation and demonstrated knowledge in the field of information technology.

TESTS

  • Test 1 – an oral exam to assess the candidate’s fundamental knowledge in economics, computers, and logic (corresponding to the MA grade)
  • Test 2 – an oral exam to assess the candidate’s motivation for pursuing the chosen study program (corresponding to the MB grade)

The general admission average, MG, for each candidate is calculated to two decimal places, without rounding, using the formula:
MG = (MA + MB) / 2
