Objectives and outcomes
The objective is to help students plan and prepare project proposals. Looking at the future work as a
whole, using terminology at meetings, presentations and preparing various
tender documents, they can do whatever they want in ICT. Recognising the need for certain managerial
techniques and being able to implement them, avoiding typical pitfalls and mistakes, and being
accustomed to systematic work, students are trained to participate effectively in projects. They are
prepared to carry out projects. Entrepreneurship is encouraged. Students are trained to use and develop project management software. They have a basic knowledge of the relevant standards of the International Institute of Project Management.
