Course Enrolment Limitations

The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.

fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with

• Banking (programme OPF, B_HOSPOL)
• Business Economics in Trade and Services (programme OPF, B_EKOMAN)

Course objectives

The course Quantitative Methods makes the participants acquainted with basic knowledge and terms from the area of algebra and mathematics so that the students shall be able to use the introduced constructions and explained thought and numerical procedures in their future autonomous study. Further, they will acquire a variety of numerical skills. This course will be followed by the course Statistics.
