Computer and information science is one of the leading breakthrough fields that have been shaping today’s economy, education, culture, administration and other areas. The striking growth of computer technology dictates the need for highly qualified staff capable of developing, managing and maintaining user and systems technology and the IT systems based on those technologies. This study programme is inviting for young people interested in computer and information science. The programme is comparable to international standards and keeps up with the rapid development of computer science and the latest knowledge. In view of all this, the study programme accordingly provides future engineers with a sufficient professional basis to be able to keep abreast of technological changes and successfully continue their career at home as well as on an international level.
The study programme allows students to tailor courses according to their preferences and motivation, in keeping with the possibilities offered by professional specialisations. The core courses are followed by elective modules that offer specialisations in different professional fields.
