Institute of Management – trains bachelors and specialists in the field of management, quality management, etc. Institute of Service – focuses on training students of undergraduate level in the service sector, tourism and related industries. For those who, after four years, prefer to continue their studies, master’s programs in a broad range of areas will be offered by the Master Institute.
