⇑Why study Computer Science at UJD?

Why study it:

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.

Specialisation: Programming or Creating Computer Games

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.

Labs: labs in groups of up to 12

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.

Placements: three-month internships

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.

After graduation: software and the games industry

The programme prepares you to lead task and management teams in IT companies and to work, among others, as:

  • a tester and programmer,
  • a software architect,
  • a back-end developer,
  • a specialist in producing, implementing and developing modern software,
  • a game creator using the latest technologies in computer graphics and multimedia.

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.

As of the 2026/27 admissions, based on the programme description at rekrutacja.ujd.edu.pl.

7. Do you want to develop strong skills in software performance, optimization, and reliable system evaluation?

8. Are you prepared to collaborate with researchers, engineers, and domain experts to integrate computing solutions?

9. Are you interested in ethical, security, and societal implications of computing (e.g., privacy, bias, AI governance)?

10. What motivates you most to pursue a master’s in Computer Science?

⇑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.
Wikipedia
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.
Wikipedia
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.
Wikipedia
Computer Science
Indeed, one of my major complaints about the computer field is that whereas Newton could say, "If I have seen a little farther than others, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants," I am forced to say, "Today we stand on each other's feet." Perhaps the central problem we face in all of computer science is how we are to get to the situation where we build on top of the work of others rather than redoing so much of it in a trivially different way. Science is supposed to be cumulative, not almost endless duplication of the same kind of things.
Richard Hamming, 1968 Turing Award lecture, Journal of the ACM 16 (1), January 1969, p. 7

Computer Science
Interviewer: Is studying computer science the best way to prepare to be a programmer? Bill Gates: No. the best way to prepare is to write programs, and to study great programs that other people have written. In my case, I went to the garbage cans at the Computer Science Center and I fished out listings of their operating system. You got to be willing to read other people's code, then write your own, then have other people review your code. You've got to want to be in this incredible feedback loop where you get the world-class people to tell you what you're doing wrong.
Bill Gates cited in: "Programmers at Work: Interviews With 19 Programmers Who Shaped the Computer Industry", Tempus, by Susan Lammers (Editor)
Wikiquote
Computer Science
Computer science research is different from these more traditional disciplines. Philosophically it differs from the physical sciences because it seeks not to discover, explain, or exploit the natural world, but instead to study the properties of machines of human creation. In this it is analogous to mathematics, and indeed the "science" part of computer science is, for the most part mathematical in spirit. But an inevitable aspect of computer science is the creation of computer programs: objects that, though intangible, are subject to commercial exchange.
Dennis Ritchie (1984) Reflections on Software Research.
