WSB Merito University in Wrocław teaches this six-semester engineering degree entirely in English, in full-time classes held on campus. It is aimed at school-leavers who want to build software and the infrastructure under it side by side: cloud platforms, networks, embedded code and games.
The curriculum starts with the core of computing: algorithms and data structures, object-oriented programming, database systems and the basics of computer networks. Server operating systems and Linux administration follow, together with a course on security in computer systems and networks, so you learn how a system is run and how it is defended.
Application work covers web and mobile programming, client systems and content management systems, while business intelligence and IT project management show how software serves a company. You also programme IoT devices, meet VR, AR and mixed-reality technology, write low-level code tuned for processors, and learn to test and automate the way applications are built.
The programme offers one specialisation, Software Development, whose classes cover creating, programming and administering cloud-based applications, plus 2D and 3D graphics and practical issues in graphic design. In the cloud strand you work with platforms such as AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.
Teaching draws on Apple's authorised training materials for the Swift language, and the university's IT laboratories include:
Instruction is in English from the first lecture, so you meet technical vocabulary together with the subject rather than as an extra. Lectures, exercises and project work all happen in English, which means you practise the language of networks, databases and cloud computing exactly where you will use it. Additional language classes are there to deepen your command of English further.
You can work towards certificates such as Cisco CCNA, Python or Google Cloud machine learning, and the roles open to graduates include:
