When planning their studies, students are expected to make sure that no single method of learning is neglected. Active participation in lectures prepares students to find the relevant points from the literature. In order to learn to work independently and use theoretical knowledge to solve practical problems, students must complete written assignments and laboratory exercises with care. Mathematics is a compulsory minor subject and students are advised to complete studies in mathematics as extensively as possible in their first few years of study. Teaching in computer science aims to provide the students with a broad-based education which can serve as a basis for specialization and professional experience.
Students learn to solve practical problems through laboratory work and various projects.
However, as a sense of professionalism and an awareness of the context of information technology are instilled by real experience, students are strongly urged to find employment as summer trainees in industry. Today automatic data processing is an integral part of the economy, administration, research and education. There is a growing need for specialists in computer science, as well as for people who, in addition to having a degree in their own field of speciality, are competent in the basics of computer science. The latter option is especially recommended for students who have a keen interest in computer applications. Specialists in automatic data processing can choose between a variety of careers in organizational information management, the information technology industry and in teaching and research.
