Abstract

In the world where promotion of mobility makes more, diverse, possibilities of further education available, where importance of life-long learning constantly increases, and changes on the knowledge and skills market are more dynamic, choosing an education offer becomes even more difficult than before, and at the same time even more important. There are different solutions designed to support the person faced with such a choice, however, they do not give the possibility to obtain all necessary information at once, and moreover, they oversee one incredibly important factor: topicality of the knowledge being obtained. In this article authors present their proposition of a system that could rise to the challenge and ensure comprehensive, personalised support of a candidate in his/her choice of a higher education offer.
