- the ability of a flexible way of thinking, which allows to understand and solve problems and tasks, while maintaining a critical attitude to established scientific concepts;
- the ability to use advanced theoretical and fundamental knowledge in the field of systems analysis to solve complex problems;
- the ability to formulate, analyze and synthesize solutions to scientific problems at an abstract level by decomposing them into components that can be explored separately in their more or less important aspects.
