Postgraduate studies in effective administration of Linux systems
Due to the complexity of current company systems, specialization is necessary. Therefore, these studies are primarily focused on educating specialists in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (and its derivatives, such as Oracle Linux, CentOS or Scientific Linux). The studies are aimed primarily at IT and technical graduates. The aim of the studies is to educate the administrators of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system, computer networks and applications: OpenStack, Red Hat Satellite Server and Red Hat Spacewalk, Red Hat Cluster Suite, as well as Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat Identity Management, Red Hat GlusterFS and Red Hat Ansible Tower.
Classes in the 2020/2021 academic year take place on weekends during the A-group meetings of extramural studies at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences. In the winter semester, these are the following days:
| Exit 1 | Downhill 2 | Downhill 3 | Exit 4 | Exit 5 | Exit 6 | Exit 7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10.X | 24.X | 14.XI | 28.XI | 12.XII | 9.I | 23.I |
| 11.X | 25.X | 15.XI | 29.XI | 13.XII | 10.I | 24.I |
and in the summer semester the following:
| Exit 8 | Exit 9 | Exit 10 | Congress 11 | Exit 12 | Congress 13 | Exit 14 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6.III | 20.III | 10.IV | 24.IV | 15.V | 5.VI | 19.VI |
| 7.III | 21.III | 11.IV | 25.IV | 16.V | 6.VI | 20.VI |
There are 8 class hours of lectures and laboratory exercises for each day of classes.
General characteristics of learning outcomes
Graduates of the studies will have professional qualifications and skills enabling effective work with the most popular Linux distributions such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Oracle Linux, Scientific Linux. Comprehensive knowledge of configuring, administering and maintaining environments combining Linux and Windows will also be presented. In addition to knowledge of operating systems, students will be prepared to implement, configure and manage popular services: DHCP, PXE, apache, dovecot, postfix, sendmail, mysql, kickstart, as well as knowledge of high availability solutions: Red Hat Cluster Suite. The structure and division of the didactic material are constructed in such a way as to constitute the first step towards obtaining the following certificates by the students: RHCSA, RHCE, which are a determinant of knowledge, experience and competences highly valued in the labor market. Graduates of the studies will be prepared to work as administrators of corporate systems and applications. Their knowledge, acquired skills and competences will also be desirable in companies dealing with the implementation of IT systems and consulting.
