Computer Science at Jan Długosz University in Częstochowa (UJD) is a 1.5-year Master's programme (second-cycle), taught in English. It is for graduates who want advanced skills in programming or in creating computer games, following a curriculum developed in cooperation with business representatives.
The Programming specialisation combines software engineering practice with theoretical foundations – algorithms supporting the programming process and the mathematical basics of cryptography. You deepen object-oriented programming, compiler design and computer system security, and learn functional programming, data mining, business application programming, cloud computing and IT project management.
Creating Computer Games teaches you to design and program games: game interfaces, using engines to simulate scenes, modelling and animating 2D and 3D objects, physically simulated 3D scenes, mobile games and artificial intelligence algorithms in games. The curriculum focuses on computer and multimedia graphics, sound in games, augmented reality (AR) design and virtual reality (VR) programming.
Most classes are laboratories and exercises. Laboratory classes take place in modern labs in small groups of up to 12 people, and you also have access to the faculty's computer lab. Outside classes, you can develop your interests in the Scientific Association of Students of the Faculty of Science and Technology.
You complete a 3-month internship and have extensive contact with potential employers. Part of your studies can also take place at partner universities under the Erasmus+ programme.
The programme prepares you to lead task and management teams in IT companies and to work, among others, as:
Did you know? The Creating Computer Games specialisation grew out of the city's location: Częstochowa is the main urban centre of the northern subregion of the Silesian Voivodeship, close to Katowice, where many computer graphics and games companies have their offices.
