Annotation

The aim of the bachelor program Computer Science is an education of graduates with a broad knowledge in two areas. The first area of gained expertise is applied computer science, in particular the ability to analyze and program real world problems, which enables the graduates to get jobs in the industry directly after finishing their bachelor degree. The second area is theoretical computer science (including a relatively broad mathematical foundation), which enables the graduates to continue their studies on a master (and later possibly also a doctoral) level. The coverage of both above mentioned areas is in an accord with the position of computer science on the borderline between technical and natural sciences.

The study program Computer Science has three specializations. One of them is more practically oriented (Databases and web) and two more theoretically focused (General computer science, Artificial intelligence). The first year of study is common for all three specializations, which allows students to pick their specializations as late as in the second year of study, when they have enough information for such a decision.

An important part of the study program is creative work, which includes student theses. This type of work is aimed at software and specialized hardware development (in the applied area of computer science), and at scientific publications (in the theoretical area of computer science).
