Undergraduates will deal with documents from the moment of creating them until storing them in archives.  In other words, undergraduates will manage the whole life cycle of any document being an indispensable element of and a foundation for any public or private organisation. Moreover, such documents are also a part of the national cultural heritage.

They will be prepared for professional work with any documents (ranging from Medieval parchments to digital documents from the 21st century) as well as other records that were, are and will be necessary for exercising power, dealing with administrative proceedings and managing people/companies. Graduates should know a foreign language on B2 level (according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) and should be able to use specialist archive-related and records management-related jargon.
