FACULTY OF COMPUTER SCIENCES

Department: Information Technology   Majors: ·        Software Engineering ·        Database Systems

Faculty of Computer Sciences aims to prepare professionals who wish to work in the IT sector. After completing a three and a half years of studying, graduates receive a Bachelor's engineering degree.

The courses provide you with advanced skills in programming. You will study programming languages, operating systems, databases, multimedia, computer graphics and system analysis. You will also cover general knowledge subjects such as mathematics and foreign languages.

The courses are suitable for graduates seeking employment in the information and communications technology sector as: software designers, programmers and administrators of small and medium IT systems. Our graduates find work in companies designing and developing software, either as software engineers or project managers. Gaining practical skills and knowledge of database systems, data warehouses and other systems supporting management and administration, you can find employment both in companies designing these types of systems and in companies and institutions using them.

On the courses you will also explore the Internet technologies. As the Internet is a growing employment sector, these courses will provide you with a lot of opportunities to find work as designers of the Internet applications (e.g. e-commerce). Knowledge of multimedia technology will equip you to work in graphic design businesses and companies producing video and games.

After the second and the third year students can gain hands-on experience, doing internships in Polish or foreign IT companies. This is often a chance to establish a permanent co-operation and find employment after graduating.
