Computer science

This program of studies provides students with the education necessary for different jobs. These include designing and developing complex software that uses databases, developing software architectural patterns, as well as applications using modern programming languages and tools. Furthermore, these jobs include developing system software and operating systems, developing intelligent systems with elements of machine learning, developing specialised software based on complex algorithms and data structures, big data analytics software, as well as software with the elements of modelling, computer graphics and visualisation.

Doing projects and completing practical tasks, students are prepared for a real work environment, which includes analytical perception of problems, creative thinking, teamwork, the use of available documentation, the application of adequate mathematical tools, design or the use of existing algorithms, as well as the use of appropriate technologies and programming paradigms.
