Master in Informatics

Tuition costs 17,200 PLN per year.

Informatics is a master's program taught in English at Gdansk University of Technology, in Gdansk, Poland, offered as either a three-semester or four-semester track depending on the applicant's background, with yearly tuition of 17200 PLN. The specialization covers Distributed Applications and Internet Services, with courses in internet system architectures and their related design problems, distributed and parallel algorithms, applications of artificial intelligence, and platforms for collaborative work and ambient intelligence. Graduates are qualified to work as IT specialists or managers at private companies, research and development institutions, public administration bodies, or academic and educational centers. Career paths include systems analyst, senior application development programmer, local network administrator, member of an enterprise IT strategy development team, IT project team leader, academic teacher or researcher, and self-employed specialist or owner of a small IT company. Informatics at the master's level in this program builds on prior study in computing or a related technical field and deepens students' understanding of how software systems operate across networks rather than on a single machine, an area increasingly central to modern IT infrastructure. The dual-track duration reflects differing entry points: a shorter three-semester route for students already holding a closely related informatics background, and a longer four-semester route for those coming from adjacent technical fields who need additional foundational coursework. Either way, the program is designed to prepare graduates for technical leadership and specialist roles across a wide range of organizations that depend on distributed systems and internet-based services.
