From Foundations to Frontiers: AHE’s Computer Science Journey

⇑Practical focus on modern technologies

At AHE, practical education underpins every module. From day one, students engage with programming languages like C/C++, Java and Python, and explore frameworks for web development. Workshops and case studies immerse them in real-world scenarios—designing business applications or setting up CI/CD pipelines. Networking courses cover NetOps, 5G and secure infrastructure management, while AI modules introduce machine learning, deep learning, computer vision and natural language processing.

⇑Structure of first and second-cycle studies

First-cycle engineering studies span seven semesters, culminating in an engineering degree. Graduates may enter the workforce directly or continue with second-cycle master’s studies, deepening their expertise in advanced software engineering and system security. Both levels mirror Polish-language curricula, but the English tracks expand opportunities:

• First-cycle in English: Specialisations in ICT Networks, Programming Technologies and Artificial Intelligence.

• Second-cycle in English: A general master’s curriculum with the option to specialise further in Data Processing Technologies.

⇑Specialisations to match career goals

AHE’s range of specialisations allows students to tailor their path:

• ICT Networks focuses on global standards and hands-on network operation.

• Programming Technologies delves into web and distributed systems, version control, unit testing and professional tools.

• Artificial Intelligence builds strong mathematical and algorithmic foundations, advancing into AI ethics, IP protection, and applications like GPT-based chatbots.

• Data Processing Technologies (master’s) addresses Big Data, intelligent text processing and data exploration.

Each specialisation aligns with in-demand skills, ensuring graduates can step confidently into roles that suit their interests.

⇑Career prospects and employability

AHE computer science alumni enter diverse sectors, armed with both broad IT foundations and specialised expertise. They benefit from a clear understanding of database systems, software engineering principles and contemporary tools such as Git, DevOps practices and cloud frameworks.
