Information architecture and IT skills – an attempt to evaluate the study programme at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń

Abstract

The information architecture as a field and profession seems to have real potential for success on the labor market in Poland. Therefore, it is not surprising that students are interested in learning in this profession, and universities sensing this trend offer them the opportunity in the framework of postgraduate studies and fields of study (or their specialties). In the process of creating studies of information architecture at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, providing its future graduates with relevant IT competences was one of the leading themes. The paper will present the basic assumptions adopted in the field of program creation, justification of the actions taken and general characteristics of the graduate included in the context of his IT skills.
