Education
 

Education in computer science is organized into two stages: three-year licentiate's studies and two-year master's studies. At present, external study schemes offer only three-year licentiate's studies.


Undergraduate studies

At the three-year studies, besides computer and information systems, students receive a vast amount of knowledge on management, business, marketing, and about legal problems referring to widely understood economic activities. The program of studies provides students with sound bases of elementary discipline as well as practical skills indispensable to their future work.

Instruction is conducted in various forms with a particular regard to laboratory classes. Facilities in the laboratories give a possibility to acquire skills in using methods and tools of computer science. The program of studies contains the following blocks of courses:

  • General education courses (mathematics, physics, electronics, foreign languages - West-European, informatics law).

  • Courses in the field of information science basics (introduction to computer science, algorithms and data structures, fundamentals and programming languages).

  • Courses in the field of information systems (databases, systems of information retrieval, expert systems, graphic interaction systems, computer systems design).

  • Facultative courses for acquiring a particular vocational skill.

     After the second year of studies students choose a speciality. The list of speciality to choose from is as follows (in parentheses some main courses within a faculty are given):

  1. Computer science in economic activity and administration
    (Public administration, Economic activity).

  2. Databases and intelligent systems
    (Specialized data bases, Knowledge databases).

  3. Telematics and multimedia
    (Programming languages in graphics, Multimedia databases).

  4. Applications of computer science in engineering
    (Computer simulation methods, Computers in measurement techniques).

  5. Computer systems of medical diagnostics.

  6. Specialist tools of computer science.

Three-year studies end with submitting a diploma work thematically related to the selected group of facultative courses. The graduates obtain the licentiate's title in computer science. The group of courses selected by a student facultatively should prepare him/her for employment in certain institutions. He/she can find employment, for example, in public administration offices as well as various economic establishments as an information specialist.

Applicants for admission to these studies must pass an entrance examination in mathematics. During an admission procedure grades in mathematics, physics and computer science (or its equivalent) obtained by an applicant in a high school are also considered.

Postgraduate studies

At the two-year master's studies students acquire knowledge on such problems as diagnostics and reliability of computer systems, programming in integrated environments, computer graphics, application of computer systems to the automation of industrial processes as well as to data measurements.

In the final study year students prepare their master's theses and on passing master's examination they are granted the master's degree in computer science.

Applicants for admission to these studies must hold a licentiate's title in computer science (or its equivalent) and are evaluated in terms of their scholastic qualification and their preparation for the study on an entrance interview.
