Software technologies relate to the design, development and use of complex information systems. Programming, computer and software engineering are equally emphasized in teaching and through a range of practical exercises and tasks you will be able to get knowledge of these areas. Systems are expected to function properly at any time and be flexible, and this is exactly where your career as a computer engineer starts!
The courses introduce students to the basic concepts of programming and algorithmic way of thinking for solving problems, the architecture of computer systems and the way their functioning, ways of realizing GIS projects, Web design … The studies last for three years, and the volume of studies is 180 ECTS.
In general, the study program prepares students for their careers as software engineers or software architects in the context of software engineering. In doing so, with the help of homework, students will have the opportunity to practice the lessons learned and to improve themselves. They will know how components are created and how they are used in software development.
The three-years studies consist of 24 courses. Each semester has 2 required and 4 elective courses. Of the possible 4 elective courses, students choose only 2 – and this is chosen between the first and second elective courses, i.e. between the third and fourth, and so on. For example, only one item is selected – or no. 3 or no. 4 (unless otherwise specified).
In the below table Un. elective means a university elective course and the same rules apply to the selection of these courses as for standard electives.
After graduation, you will be awarded with a Bachelor of Computer Science degree.
