⇑Why choose the Programming specialisation at UJD?

Dlaczego warto studiować na UJD
Why study it:

Programming is a specialisation in the Computer Science master's programme (second-cycle studies) at Jan Długosz University in Częstochowa. It is meant for graduates of first-cycle studies who want to join practical software engineering with the theory of computer science and prepare to lead a team in the IT sector.

Programme: what the specialisation block covers

Classes in the specialisation cover functional programming, compiler design, cryptographic methods of protecting information built on the mathematical foundations of cryptography, data mining, cloud computing technology and the programming of business applications. Alongside them you study software engineering in practice and the algorithmics that support the programming process, so the block gives you both tools and the theory behind them.

Specialisation: what sets this path apart

Compared with the other specialisation in the programme, this one:

  • pairs practical software engineering with the theoretical basis of computer science, including algorithms that support programming;
  • deepens object-oriented programming, compiler construction and the security of computer systems;
  • adds methods of managing IT projects that make teamwork possible;
  • gives you experience in building practical IT solutions with modern languages and programming technologies;
  • builds your understanding of how existing software is created and developed.

Placements: practical classes and employers

The curriculum was developed together with business representatives, and laboratory and exercise classes run in small groups, the programme includes a professional internship, and the university keeps in touch with employers, among other things on internships.

After graduation: professional roles

Graduate profile

  • Rolestester and programmer, software architect, back-end developer
  • Focusproducing, implementing and developing modern software
  • Foundationadvanced algorithms, theory of computation and neural networks shared with the rest of the programme

10 questions · two minutes

1. Your code passes every test, but it slows to a crawl with larger amounts of data. What do you do?

2. How do you feel about theory: algorithms, data structures, discrete maths?

3. Making changes to the project you’re working on is getting harder and harder because the code is a tangled mess. How do you react?

4. On the programme, you discuss solutions and review code in English with people from many different countries. How do you find that?

5. A junior teammate sends you code to review, and it contains quite a few weak solutions. How do you approach the review?

6. You need to design a system that a very large number of people will use at the same time. Where do you start?

7. How do you go about learning a new programming language or paradigm, such as functional programming?

8. A bug appears in the system only now and then and is hard to reproduce. How do you track it down?

9. Are you interested in how compilers, operating systems or databases work under the hood?

10. What motivates you most to pursue a Master’s degree in Programming?

⇑Definitions and quotes

Programming
The most effective debugging tool is still careful thought, coupled with judiciously placed print statements.
Brian Kernighan, "Unix for Beginners" (1979)
Programming
The most important thing in a programming language is the name. A language will not succeed without a good name. I have recently invented a very good name, and now I am looking for a suitable language.
Donald Knuth (1938–) [citation needed]
Programming
Computers are man's attempt at designing a cat: it does whatever it wants, whenever it wants, and rarely ever at the right time.
EMCIC, Keenspot Elf Life Forum, 2001-Apr-26 [specific citation needed]
