This modernization and innovation process includes both, content and methodology of education. They must be adapted in way to provide best conditions and training of their graduates for successful entry into labor market. At our faculty we realized these needs of transformation and therefore we are trying to mediate not only theoretical knowledge and news in banking, finance, investment and regional development areas, but also to show the possibilities where they can successfully use ICT tools effectively. To achieving the best quality of provided education we are also interested in students view on our trying of ICT implementation into education process.
