Open applications: New doctoral program in Computer Science and Economics at University of Mostar

The University of Mostar has opened applications for enrollment in a new postgraduate university doctoral program titled "Information Management and the Application of Information and Communication Technologies." This research-oriented program aligns with the goals of SUM's development strategy. Upon completion, candidates will earn a Doctor of Science degree in either the field of technical sciences, computer science, or social sciences, economics field, business informatics branch, depending on their chosen specialization. Candidates will have the opportunity to apply electronically, and the application is open until November 30th.

Participants in this program will familiarize themselves with theory and practice related to the storage, organization, retrieval, and analysis of information in various contexts. However, possessing technical expertise alone is insufficient for success in both technical and social domains. Doctoral students will focus on two key areas: advanced technical skills and critical thinking in the context of information management. The postgraduate doctoral program has a duration of three years and can be pursued as a full-time or part-time student. Full-time students are required to fulfill their obligations full-time, while part-time students have responsibilities for one academic year. A list of courses and detailed information is available on the website phd.sum.ba.

Doctoral candidates will develop comprehensive skills and knowledge in the field of Computer Science by enrolling in the "Application of Information and Communication Technologies" specialization, while "Management in the Digital Environment" is the specialization in the field of economics. Enrolling in the "Application of Information and Communication Technologies" specialization will expose doctoral candidates to the technical aspects of information technology. Emphasis will be placed on the development and application of software solutions, data analysis, and processing, understanding the architecture of information systems, and the study of advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence methods. During the "Management in the Digital Environment" specialization, doctoral students will be directed toward the importance of digitizing business processes and integrating information technology into various aspects of business. The focus will be on understanding how information systems contribute to strategic planning, decision-making, and business process optimization.

Doctoral candidates will have the opportunity to collaborate with leading experts in the field of information management and the application of information and communication technologies. The mentor base includes prominent experts from the University of Mostar, the University of Zagreb, the University of Split, the University of J.J. Strossmayer in Osijek, the University of North, the University of Dubrovnik, Holon Institute from Israel, and the University of Applied Sciences FH Burgenland from Eisenstadt.
