Bachelor in Computer science

This bachelor's programme in Computer Science at Bialystok University of Technology, in Białystok, Poland, is taught in English over 7 semesters, with yearly tuition of EUR 2600. Graduates come away with both general computer science knowledge and technical skills specific to computer information systems. The programme covers the design principles behind modern computers, peripheral devices, operating systems, computer networks, and databases, together with computer programming skills and an understanding of software engineering principles that allow graduates to work effectively as part of software development teams. Students also gain a basic grounding in artificial intelligence, computer graphics, and human-machine interfaces, and are trained to apply their knowledge and skills while following legal and ethical principles. The programme prepares graduates to work in IT companies that design, deploy, or maintain IT tools and systems, as well as in other organizations that rely on such systems, and it also prepares them to continue on to second-degree (master's) studies. Computer science as a discipline more broadly covers the theory and practice of computing: algorithms, data structures, software design, networks, and information systems. Graduates from programmes like this typically move into roles such as software developer, systems administrator, database administrator, network engineer, or IT support specialist, and the skills involved are in demand across banking, telecommunications, manufacturing, public administration, and many other sectors that depend on reliable computer systems. A bachelor's degree of this kind also serves as a foundation for further specialization at the master's level, whether in software engineering, networks, artificial intelligence, or another area of computing.
