The second-cycle Computer Science programme at the University of Humanities and Economics in Lodz (AHE) is taught in English, lasts 1.5 years and leads to a master's degree in engineering; you can study full-time or part-time with e-learning support. It is for graduates of first-cycle studies who want to move into advanced software engineering and work with large, complex data sets.
The general curriculum in English is equivalent to the Polish one and gives all students a common base in advanced software engineering, modern programming technologies with Python, and system security and quality. Classes are taught by researchers, practitioners and specialists with experience in the IT industry. Much of the learning happens through projects, workshops and case studies built around real problems from the IT profession.
The English-taught master's programme runs one specialisation, Data Processing Technologies – equivalent to its Polish version. It covers:
The specialisation prepares graduates to work as data scientists, data analysts, Big Data engineers and designers of advanced IT systems in organisations that base their strategies and decisions on data.
Computer Science graduates also work in companies developing and implementing AI solutions, including large language models, in software and hardware companies, in teams designing and managing databases, in research and development institutions and in technology startups.
