⇑Why study Information Technology (Master's) at WSB Merito University in Gdańsk?

Dlaczego warto studiować w Merito Gdańsk
Why study it:

This four-semester second-cycle programme at WSB Merito University in Gdańsk is open to graduates of a first-cycle degree who want to deepen their programming, work on secure systems and plan a career in IT. It is offered full-time or in a hybrid format.

Programme: web development at the centre

Web applications form the centre of gravity. Separate subjects cover front-end work, building a back-end, programming on the .NET platform and in Java, Angular, progressive web apps and website technologies, with UX and user-interface design running alongside.

Underneath sits a concern for quality: you write efficient and secure object-oriented code, analyse and refactor it, and learn software quality assurance techniques. Other threads include designing and testing telecommunication networks, managing IT systems, database applications and Python, plus security topics such as cybercrime and cryptography.

Specialisation: computer programming

The specialisation to choose is Computer Programming, and its classes are listed on the programme page in English, among them website creation technologies and a course on programming web applications in Java.

Languages: a subject in English

In the fourth semester you take a compulsory subject in English, matched to your specialisation. You can add two more English-language subjects, one lecture and one practical class, which is a chance to build language skills in an international context.

After graduation: where the degree leads

The page names these roles:

  • data analyst who uses Python to process information and prepare reports behind decisions
  • mobile application engineer designing efficient, intuitive and secure solutions for smartphones
  • IT security specialist protecting data and removing cyber threats
  • information systems designer who takes a project from requirements analysis to testing
  • web application developer working with .NET, Angular or Java
  • computer network administrator responsible for infrastructure and system performance

⇑Definitions and quotes

Information
Information is any entity or form that provides the answer to a question of some kind or resolves uncertainty. It is thus related to data and knowledge, as data represents values attributed to parameters, and knowledge signifies understanding of real things or abstract concepts. As it regards data, the information's existence is not necessarily coupled to an observer (it exists beyond an event horizon, for example), while in the case of knowledge, the information requires a cognitive observer.
Information Technology
Information technology (IT) is the use of computers to store, retrieve, transmit, and manipulate data, or information, often in the context of a business or other enterprise. IT is considered to be a subset of information and communications technology (ICT).
Technology
Technology ("science of craft", from Greek τέχνη, techne, "art, skill, cunning of hand"; and -λογία, -logia) is first robustly defined by Jacob Bigelow in 1829 as: "...principles, processes, and nomenclatures of the more conspicuous arts, particularly those which involve applications of science, and which may be considered useful, by promoting the benefit of society, together with the emolument [compensation ] of those who pursue them" .
Technology
Incorrigible humanity, therefore, led astray by the giant Nimrod, presumed in its heart to outdo in skill not only nature but the source of its own nature, who is God; and began to build a tower in Sennaar, which afterwards was called Babel (that is, 'confusion'). By this means human beings hoped to climb up to heaven, intending in their foolishness not to equal but to excel their creator.
Dante Alighieri, De vulgari eloquentia, Chapter VII
Information
Private information is practically the source of every large modern fortune.
Oscar Wilde (1854–1900), Anglo-Irish playwright, author. Sir Robert Chiltern, in An Ideal Husband, Act 1.
Information
The functionaries of every government have propensities to command at will the liberty and property of their constituents. There is no safe deposit for these but with the people themselves; nor can they be safe with them without information.
Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Colonel Charles Yancey (6 January 1816) ME 14:384.
