Modern statistics and data science
Course
The aim of this course is to acquaint students with modern concepts in statistical methods, data processing and analysis. The course not only includes classical statistical problems such as parameter estimation, confidence intervals and hypothesis testing, correlation and regression models, but also shows how to apply these methods in for different data science problems. The second part of this course is devoted to the concepts of data science, which includes big data analysis, data visualization and also statistical learning methods. Aims of the course: To provide an overview of the problems of classical statistics and data science; to show the application of classical methods in the context of data science, where big data and various algorithms as alternative statistical methods are important concepts. Tasks of the course: to teach the main methods of classical statistics and the most important problems and methods of data science; show the relationship between data science methods

Theories of Public Relations
Course
The primary aim of this course is to offer a look at those aspects of public relations theory and research which are most intensively discussed in scholarly publications to master’s degree students who are researching aspects of public relations in their work or are interested in becoming professionals in the area of PR. The introductory portion of the course is devoted to the normative theories about public relations (PR) that have been developed by professional practitioners. There is an emphasis on explanations of how the public sphere and communications interrelate and function from the perspective of sociological theory (Habermas, Luhman, Parsons, Merton), linking this to PR theories that cover all of society and exist at the macro-level. Along with the system theoretical approach, the course reviews those PR theories which are based on the theoretical postulates of how organisations function, as well as of marketing and integrated corporate communications.

Mathematics for Economics and Business
Course
The objective of the course is to explain basic concepts and coherence in mathematics, which are widely used in modern economics and business. The course does no dwell just on mathematical formalities but also appeals to intuition. As much as possible, problems are introduced through real-life situations; the mathematics needed to handle similar situations is developed then. Examples are selected to show linkage to current applications in the economic theory. Abstraction and sophisticated mathematical theory is balanced with the practical application possibilities in economics and business, without sacrificing an understanding of the underlying mathematical concepts. Tasks of the course: 1. Familiarize students with mathematical models in market economics. 2. Learn the economic interpretation of derivatives – marginal indicators, as well as the application of derivatives in formulating and solving optimization problems. 3. Explore the concept of elasticity, its economic

Virtual Environments
Course
Course goal: The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the applications and technologies of the virtual environment. Course objectives: To study the latest scientific publications on the topic of virtual environments. Try virtual and augmented reality VR and AR systems. Study system architecture. Develop a 3D model and functional prototype for the system. Entertainment and business in virtual environments are becoming increasingly popular with groups of people of all ages, as evidenced by the current and ever-increasing number of users, measured in millions. Augmented reality is also increasingly entering our lives. The operation of such systems requires a multi-computer parallel environment, as well as a range of IT technologies, including communications, distributed systems, security assurance, graphical and physical engines, andinnovative user interfaces. The course will cover these technologies and the latest research, including the connection of virtual and real worlds
