⇑Why study Computer Science (Master's) at the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology?

Dlaczego warto studiować w Polsko-Japońskiej Akademii Technik Komputerowych
Why study it:

Computer Science (Master's) at the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology (PJAIT) is a full-time second-cycle programme taught in English. It is for engineering graduates who want to deepen their knowledge in one chosen area of IT.

Programme: specialised expertise and research

The master's programme lets you develop specialised expertise, take part in advanced research projects and work with industry partners on real technological challenges. Classes are taught by researchers and IT industry experts.

The curriculum keeps mathematics close to practice, because it helps you understand algorithms, data analysis and artificial intelligence. Once the deadline for the questionnaire has passed, the decision cannot be changed, so it is worth choosing your area with care and thinking about your future career first.

Specialisation: four specialised areas

Each student chooses one specialised area, or two at once, by completing a questionnaire. The areas are:

  • Data Science – analysing large data sets with methods that go beyond classical approaches.
  • Software, business process and database engineering – databases, software engineering, business application programming and project management.
  • Mobile device network and cloud computing technologies – networks, cloud services, DevOps and mobile applications.
  • Interactive multimedia – interaction design, graphical interfaces, new media, digital culture, and augmented and virtual reality.

After graduation: careers and doctoral studies

Depending on your area, you can work as a business analyst, system analyst, database designer, software engineer, project manager, cloud services designer, DevOps engineer or mobile application developer. Employers include software companies, banks, insurers, telecommunications operators and cloud service providers.

If you prefer research, you can continue at the PJAIT Doctoral School and work with the international academic community and industry partners.

⇑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
The men in the laboratory... cannot be said to observe the actual objects of their curiosity at all. ...The sense data on which the propositions of modern science rest are, for the most part, little photographic spots and blurs, or inky curved lines on paper. ... What is directly observable is only a sign of the "physical fact"; it requires interpretation to yield scientific propositions.
Susanne Langer, Philosophy in a New Key (1942)
Computer Science
Computer science... differs from physics in that it is not actually a science. It does not study natural objects. Neither is it, as you might think, mathematics; although it does use mathematical reasoning pretty extensively. Rather, computer science is like engineering; it is all about getting something to do something, rather than just dealing with abstractions, as in the pre-Smith geology.
Richard Feynman, Feynman Lectures on Computation, 1970
