Master in Computer science

Computer science underpins much of modern life, from workplaces and information systems to production management, air, sea, and land traffic control, communication, and multimedia. This master's programme at Cracow University of Technology in Kraków, Poland is taught in English over 3 semesters, with yearly tuition of EUR 3000. It aims to give students the skills to make full use of computers and complex computer networks and to write software for new, sophisticated applications, qualities sought across almost every branch of industry. Graduates gain professional knowledge in project management, software engineering, and the implementation and management of modern IT systems, and they learn to manage databases, internet services, computer systems, and networks. The programme trains students to work through problems from initial analysis, building UML models, and designing algorithms through to writing suitable software. Graduates typically find work in large or small businesses, industry, telecommunications, public administration, services, education, and multimedia. The programme offers five specializations for students to choose from, including Applied Computer Science, Computer Graphics and Multimedia, and Cybersecurity, each focused on a different area of applied computing. Beyond the specifics of this programme, computer science as a discipline covers the theory and practice of algorithms, data structures, software systems, and computing infrastructure, and it remains one of the fastest-growing fields for graduate employment, with demand spanning software development, systems administration, network engineering, and information security roles across nearly every industry sector.
