Computer Science programs at the Institute of Computer Science in University of Opole

The Institute of Computer Science runs four programs in the field of computer science, two undergraduate and two graduate ones.

The undergraduate (first cycle) programs take either three or three and a half years and the graduates obtain the Licentiate*) of computer science or, respectively, ‘Inżynier’ of computer science degree.

The graduate Master’s programs take either two-years or one and a half years (for candidates with the ‘Inżynier’ degree) and the graduates obtain the degree of Master’s of Computer Science.

*) In Poland, the Licentiate degree corresponds to the Bachelor’s degree

Licentiate program

Students of the undergraduate program can select (after the first semester) one of the following specializations:

• databases (DB),
• computer graphics (CG),
• computer networks and systems (CNS).

The requirements to obtain the Licentiate degree are:

• accumulating at least 180 ECTS (credit) points;
  • among those 91 ECTS points are credited for all the mandatory core courses,
  • at least 58 ECTS points credited for all the elective specialty courses, seminars and an appropriate internship;
• writing a thesis and passing a Licentiate diploma examination – 10 ECTS points.

Graduation requirements for all specializations:

Each student is required to complete all mandatory courses and the required number of elective courses as specified in the study program which complies with the graduation requirements for undergraduate computer science studies as described in the ministerial regulation dated July 12, 2007 (Dz. U. z 2007, Nr 164, poz. 1164, annex 45).

Professional standards:

Each graduate of the program is qualified to work for IT companies that construct, implement or provide maintenance of IT tools and systems and for other companies that use such tools and systems, particularly in their chosen specializations.
