Computer Science Programme

• In 2001 new programme Computer Science, based
  on ACM Computing Curricula 2001 Computer Science
  2001
• 4 year programme
• First two years fundamentals math core
  programming skills
• Third and fourth year - strong emphasis on
  applications compilers, databases, AI, web
  technologies, OO design, UML, number of elective
  modules

10
CS course structure

• Basic course structure 16 weeks semester
  (actually 14 working weeks), homeworks projects
  midterms (one or two) final
• Computer Science degree program revised in 2006
  due to moving from 4-year to 3-year curriculum
• No electives, no final project, some courses
  moved to Master studies

Our approach (1)

• Not just to tell you how other people have done
  things so that you can do the same
• But rather to educate you to the point where you
  are able to invent new things
• Professional education in computer science
  combined with mathematics

12
Our approach (2)

• Before applying, consider whether you really want
  to spend three or four years in intensive study
  in CS
• theory and practice
• science and engineering
• software and hardware

13
Our Approach (3)

• Not IT training courses for the specific tools
  only
• We make available to students a wide range of
  information and tools for their investigation
• A message to the future students
• If your primary aim is to become competent in a
  technique in current demand, with a view only to
  employability in the short term, or only as a
  supporting skill to interests and abilities
  outside computer science, then our programme are
  probably not what you are looking for.
