The subject builds on the methods, reasoning and skills acquired during the
bachelor's studies in finance, banking and investing, especially
in accounting, statistics and informatics (working with financial mathematics,
using functions in MS Excel, etc.). To thoroughly master the principles of
capital budgeting, it is necessary to combine work in MS Excel and with
specialised statistical software (add-ons) for MS Excel (or other software). After
completing the course, the student should:
- be able to process the financial plan of capital investment in the company as
well as process its evaluation with possible recommendations,
- be able to create and apply a suitable investment evaluation tool to
understand its advantages and disadvantages,
- understand the attributes of the project implementation environment, related
to, for example, taxation, changes in the price level, creation of the level of
required profitability or risks applied,
- understand modifications of the designed tool using analytical approaches to
take uncertainty conditions into account,
- master the MS Excel environment and its add-ons for processing individual
calculations and analyses in capital planning and investment project decision-making.
In the subject, students acquire financial reasoning, process and model financial data, and estimate the development of certain projects
and cash flows. The acquired knowledge and skills are necessary for the
analysis and processing of data within the company and the preparation of its
investment projects, especially in financial management.

Transport and logistics play a crucial role in the global economy. Multimodal transport involves the use of different transportation modes, each with their unique characteristics, to optimize global logistics. Effective supply chain management is essential for businesses to remain competitive. The history and evolution of supply chain management have led to the expectations of one-day shipping in global logistics. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are transforming the industry, with data-driven economies becoming the norm. The influence of ICT on transport and logistics can be seen in the case study of Warehouse Management Systems and the use of Big Data in logistics, as demonstrated by Amazon.
This online course covers a range of topics related to sustainability, including basic concepts, the history of sustainable development, and the Millennium Development Goals. It also explores a model of the Doughnut of social and planetary boundaries and discusses sustainable development in the context of transport and logistics. The course considers the external costs of transport and a sustainable transport system, as well as EU transport policy and the Sustainable Development Goals. Participants will learn about the role of ICT in sustainable transport and logistics, including data-driven transport policy. The course also includes a case study on the EcoTransIT Calculator, which allows for the simulation and comparison of greenhouse gases and exhaust emissions.
The course is aimed at business students and those who want to improve
their knowledge on the basic elements of Project Management and its
importance in today’s businesses. The course will cover the main terms
and tools used in project management, its meaning and implications, and
the basic working methods and processes used in modern Project

The
goal of the course Data Analysis in Microsoft Excel is to show students how to aggregate
data stored in tables with many rows. Imagine for example a table of sales with
many rows where one row is one sale of one dealer and one product and you want
to calculate for example how many sales were made or calculate total or average
sales per individual dealers. In Excel, it is possible to calculate it in many
ways and this course shows you possible ways.
