Why study Computer Science?

Computer Science dlaczego
Dlaczego warto:

International study environment

The Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science at the University of Humanities and Economics in Lodz (AHE Lodz) is delivered in English at a non-public institution. From day one students work in multicultural teams, use professional terminology naturally, and learn to present ideas clearly—skills that transfer directly to international tech companies and agile start-ups.

Programme that blends theory with practice

Courses are designed around real tasks: problem-solving labs, case studies, and project workshops. Core computer science concepts are anchored in hands-on coding, so students practise algorithms, data structures, and software design while building working solutions. This approach builds confidence at the keyboard and mirrors daily routines in software development.

Modern tools and industry habits

The programme emphasises practical tooling used in companies: version control, testing, documentation, and collaboration in shared repositories. Students learn to read requirements, write maintainable code, and iterate based on feedback. Exposure to these habits early on makes the transition to professional teams smoother and helps avoid common pitfalls of novice projects.

Close contact with academic staff

Mentoring is a differentiator. Access to engaged lecturers and practitioners means regular consultations, structured feedback, and guidance in shaping an individual learning path. Students can refine project scopes, choose technologies wisely, and build a coherent portfolio—all while developing professional etiquette and a network that often leads to internships.

Flexible organisation of studies

Teaching formats include lectures, exercises, and laboratories arranged to increase complexity step by step. This rhythm leaves space for personal initiatives: participation in student groups, hackathons, or building side projects. Such flexibility helps combine study with part-time work, volunteering, or freelance coding without losing academic momentum.

Portfolio from the first semesters

Learners document projects with readme files, testing notes, and short technical reports. Over time this becomes a tangible portfolio that shows growth: from simple scripts to multi-module applications. Recruiters value not only the code but also the narrative—problem framing, design decisions, and lessons learned—which graduates are trained to articulate.

Tech skills plus communication

Beyond programming, the pathway develops communication, teamwork, and presentation skills. Students practise peer reviews, sprint planning, and demo sessions, explaining complex ideas to non-technical stakeholders. Such soft skills, combined with methodical task prioritisation, make graduates effective collaborators who can contribute from the first week on the job.

Clear career and study prospects

Graduates are prepared for junior roles such as software developer, tester, data analyst, or systems administrator, with pathways towards solution architecture or project coordination. Studying in English keeps international doors open and eases progression to Master’s studies—whether at AHE Lodz or other universities in Poland and abroad.

Lodz as a living lab

The city’s evolving tech scene—meet-ups, workshops, and collaborative events—offers chances to test competences outside the classroom. Students can gather feedback from practitioners, explore internships, and expand networks. This ecosystem, combined with university support, creates a realistic runway from academic projects to professional challenges.

Definitions and quotes

Computer
A computer is a device that can be instructed to carry out sequences of arithmetic or logical operations automatically via computer programming. Modern computers have the ability to follow generalized sets of operations, called programs. These programs enable computers to perform an extremely wide range of tasks.
Computer Science
Computer science is the study of the theory, experimentation, and engineering that form the basis for the design and use of computers. It is the scientific and practical approach to computation and its applications and the systematic study of the feasibility, structure, expression, and mechanization of the methodical procedures (or algorithms) that underlie the acquisition, representation, processing, storage, communication of, and access to, information. An alternate, more succinct definition of computer science is the study of automating algorithmic processes that scale. A computer scientist specializes in the theory of computation and the design of computational systems. See glossary of computer science.
Science
Science (from Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.
Computer Science
I can’t be as confident about computer science as I can about biology. Biology easily has 500 years of exciting problems to work on. It’s at that level.
Donald Knuth (1993) Computer Literacy Bookshops Interview
Science
Science has an important part to play in our everyday existence, and there is far too much neglect of science; but its intention is to supplement not to supplant the familiar outlook.
Arthur Eddington, Science and the Unseen World (1929).
Science
Science is the topography of ignorance.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., Medical Essays, 211. Quotes reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922), p. 691-92.
