⇑Why study Information Technology (engineering degree) at WSB Merito University in Poznań?

Dlaczego warto studiować w Merito Poznań
Why study it:

This engineering degree at WSB Merito University in Poznań is a first-cycle programme taught in English, full-time, with classes split between campus rooms and MS Teams. It suits school-leavers who want a broad grounding in computing before deciding whether mobile apps or virtual reality is the direction for them.

Programme: from algorithms to web applications

You start with the building blocks: fundamentals of computer science, an introduction to programming, data structures and algorithms, and computer architecture. Object-oriented, web application and advanced programming follow, so that you can design websites and build efficient, scalable web solutions.

The infrastructure side is just as visible. Operating systems, computer networks and computer security prepare you to administer servers and protect data, while IT systems analysis and design show how large systems are planned before anyone writes a line of code. Databases complete the core, and modern computer graphics technology lets you take on creative multimedia projects.

Specialisation: two specialisations

⇑Definitions and quotes

Information
Information is any entity or form that provides the answer to a question of some kind or resolves uncertainty. It is thus related to data and knowledge, as data represents values attributed to parameters, and knowledge signifies understanding of real things or abstract concepts. As it regards data, the information's existence is not necessarily coupled to an observer (it exists beyond an event horizon, for example), while in the case of knowledge, the information requires a cognitive observer.
Information Technology
Information technology (IT) is the use of computers to store, retrieve, transmit, and manipulate data, or information, often in the context of a business or other enterprise. IT is considered to be a subset of information and communications technology (ICT).
Technology
Technology ("science of craft", from Greek τέχνη, techne, "art, skill, cunning of hand"; and -λογία, -logia) is first robustly defined by Jacob Bigelow in 1829 as: "...principles, processes, and nomenclatures of the more conspicuous arts, particularly those which involve applications of science, and which may be considered useful, by promoting the benefit of society, together with the emolument [compensation ] of those who pursue them" .
Technology
Incorrigible humanity, therefore, led astray by the giant Nimrod, presumed in its heart to outdo in skill not only nature but the source of its own nature, who is God; and began to build a tower in Sennaar, which afterwards was called Babel (that is, 'confusion'). By this means human beings hoped to climb up to heaven, intending in their foolishness not to equal but to excel their creator.
Dante Alighieri, De vulgari eloquentia, Chapter VII
Information
Private information is practically the source of every large modern fortune.
Oscar Wilde (1854–1900), Anglo-Irish playwright, author. Sir Robert Chiltern, in An Ideal Husband, Act 1.
Information
The functionaries of every government have propensities to command at will the liberty and property of their constituents. There is no safe deposit for these but with the people themselves; nor can they be safe with them without information.
Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Colonel Charles Yancey (6 January 1816) ME 14:384.
