The Computer Science engineering program at PJAIT for careers in the IT industry starting from the very first semester. You’ll work on projects, learn to code, develop teamwork skills, and gain familiarity with the technologies used by today’s tech companies.

Learning computer science through practice

An important element of education in the field of study computer science is the development of practical skills that allow graduates to effectively apply the knowledge they have gained in practice. The study program takes into account practical projects and laboratories, and the university's cooperation with top technology companies in Poland, allows students to gain experience in internships already during their studies. As a result, computer science students can gain experience in real IT problems and learn teamwork, which prepares them to function effectively in the rapidly changing job market of the future.

The future of computing today

Curriculum for the major in computer science at PJAIT only familiarizes students with the latest artificial intelligence (AI) tools, but above all prepares them for the jobs of the future—to be leaders in shaping innovation in IT. Skills in coding, programming, and using the latest AI tools are more valuable than ever, but traditional mathematical knowledge—such as algebra, calculus, and statistics—is also crucial for understanding advanced artificial intelligence techniques. Specializing in specific areas of the IT industry allows students to choose from a wide range of specializations in their second or third year of study. As our graduate Paweł Mączka says:

“At PJAIT don’t just PJAIT how to write code. You learn how to solve problems, design technologies, and collaborate with people who—just like you—want to shape the future of the IT industry.”

computer science is a rapidly developing discipline, and its progress has had a huge impact on many scientific disciplines. As an exact and technical science, it deals with information processing, including information processing technologies and technologies for manufacturing information processing systems. Any well-constructed curriculum should maintain a balance between the fundamentals necessary to understand the fundamental concepts in the discipline and modern applications or fascinating, world-changing technologies. A distinguishing feature of the educational concept in PJAIT is the clear division of learning outcomes into two categories: those of a fundamental nature, related to the acquisition of general IT knowledge, and those related to specific competencies. 

field of study computer science is the program with the longest tradition at PJAIT; it was the first program offered by the university when it was founded in 1994. Faculty of Computer Science, established as recently as 2005, is the university’s largest and most dynamically developing unit. The faculty’s dynamic growth is evidenced by its student enrollment—in 1994, 90 students began their studies, and today there are 5,500. 

The tradition and development of the Department of Computer Science at PJAIT are not only the foundations of the university's history, but also reflect the dynamic development of the field of computer science as a whole. Its evolution from its inception to its current scale and number of students is undeniable evidence of the growing importance of the field in society.
