Students are educated to become graduate engineers who are highly competent at designing and implementing quality software, who possess all the necessary knowledge and skills for further education at master studies and follow the rapid technological advances in the field of software development. The aim of the course is to provide students with the high competences and academic skills in the field of modern technologies, principles of software engineering and software processes. They apply modern software architectures and platforms to run computer programs.
Carrying out projects and practical tasks, students are prepared for a real work environment. This includes analytical problem-solving, creative thinking, teamwork, the use of available documentation, design or use of existing algorithms, as well as the use of appropriate technologies and programming paradigms.
