⇑Why study Computer Science for Embedded Systems at AGH?

Why study it:

Programme: from digital circuits to real-time AI
Labs: hands-on projects and professional tools
After graduation: interdisciplinary engineering teams

Computer Science for Embedded Systems at AGH University of Krakow is a first-cycle engineering programme about designing the embedded systems found in cars, robots, IoT devices and medical equipment. It suits students who want to build such solutions end to end – from hardware to advanced software.

Programme: from digital circuits to real-time AI

The programme covers, among other things:

low-level and high-level programming
digital circuits and embedded systems, real-time operating systems (RTOS)
computational acceleration with FPGA and GPGPU
system security, reliability, energy efficiency and hardware–software integration
data analysis, pattern recognition, image and audio processing and artificial intelligence

Labs: hands-on projects and professional tools

Much of the learning is hands-on: laboratory work, team projects and professional tools for simulation, testing and optimisation. You learn to create, test and develop technological solutions, and the AI modules let you build intelligent systems that analyse their surroundings and make decisions in real time.

After graduation: interdisciplinary engineering teams

Alongside technical skills, the course develops teamwork, communication and time management, preparing graduates to work in interdisciplinary teams and to take on roles that combine technical knowledge with organisational skills.

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

⇑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.

I was particularly interested in that, in working on Jurassic Park that aspect of what are the negative parts. Because in talking with the people who were doing this kind of research what I was hearing was that the most responsible of them were deciding not to proceed down certain lines of inquiry which is really a new phase in science. Traditionally in science what the scientists themselves have said is: "I might as well do it, because if I don't, someone else will. It is going to happen inevitably." I think there's recognition now, that it's no so inevitable and it's quite conceivable that if I don't do this research neither will anyone else. It's simply too dangerous.

Michael Crichton, interview Lost World section of Beyond Jurassic Park DVD.

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

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.
