General information
Important information about studying at the Department of Computer Science:
The second stage of study at the Faculty of Computer Science is master's degree , which is offered in three formats:
Three semesters, beginning with the summer semester, or four semesters, beginning with the winter semester, designed to supplement IT skills.
For full-time students, classes are typically held Monday through Friday. Each semester consists of 15 weeks of classes. The academic year runs from October to the end of June and is divided into two semesters. Courses are taught in Polish or English.
The choice of specialization is made during the admissions process. It determines the set of specialized courses and the track for the master’s seminar.
Throughout the entire program, academy intensive foreign language instruction.
The part-time program part-time four semesters and is taught in Polish.
There are 8 sessions each semester. The academic year runs from October through the end of June and is divided into two semesters.

Learning in online studies (part-time using distance learning methods and techniques) is as follows:
- Online learning through the university's Edux system throughout the semester.
- Exam period plus a lab session at the end of the semester on campus.
Educational materials are available on the Edux university platform. Each week, students work through the assigned topic on their own and complete homework assignments and quizzes.
Contact with instructors is in the form of weekly, optional consultations on the Microsoft Teams platform and also by email.
Exam periods (exams, course assessments) and lab sessions (intensive study of a single course) are held in the usual manner on campus at the end of each semester. The exam period typically lasts 4 days (including the weekend), while the lab session lasts 4–5 days (weekdays and possibly the weekend). Both sessions are combined, so you only need to come to Warsaw once per semester for about 9–14 days.
What distinguishes computer science in PJAIT?
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
The program of study at computer science at PJAIT not only introduces students to the latest artificial intelligence (AI) tools, but more importantly prepares them for the professions of the future - being leaders in shaping innovation in IT. Coding and programming skills are more valuable than ever, but traditional mathematical knowledge like algebra, differential and integral calculus and statistics is also crucial to understanding advanced AI techniques. Specializing in specific areas of the IT industry allows for a wide selection of specialized areas in the second or third year of study.

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.
Computer Science is the field of study with the longest tradition at PJAIT; it was the first field of study at the university, which was established in 1994. The Faculty of Computer Science, established only in 2005, is the largest and most dynamically developing unit of the university. The dynamics of the faculty's development is evidenced by the number of students - in 1994, 90 students began their studies, and now 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.
