General information
Important information about studying at the Department of Computer Science:
The first stage of study at the Faculty of Computer Science is bachelor's degree (engineering degree), which takes place in three modes:
Three and a half years (study in Polish or English).
In full-time studies, classes are held as standard from Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm (there is a possibility that some classes will start at 7:00 am and end at 7:00 pm) . Each semester includes 15 weeks of classes. The academic year runs from October to the end of June and is divided into two semesters. Studies are conducted in Polish or English.
Base teaching covers the first four semesters and focuses on teaching students the basic knowledge of mathematics, algorithmics and programming, etc., which should be mastered by every engineering graduate at computer science. As part of the core teaching, students are introduced to basic database techniques, the principles of software development and computer networks, and the possibilities of multimedia applications, among other things. Students primarily learn to program in basic languages such as Java and C++. They also receive a basic education in mathematics, marketing, management and law.
As part of specialized teaching, students choose the specialties in which they want to deepen their knowledge and skills during specialized classes, programmatically correlated with the chosen specialty. Specialized teaching emphasizes the acquisition of practical teamwork skills through the implementation of specific projects.
Throughout the course of study, academy provides intensive English and optional Japanese.
Four years (studies in Polish).
There are 8 assemblies each semester. The academic year runs from October to the end of June and is divided into two semesters. Studies are conducted in Polish.
Base teaching covers the first six semesters and focuses on teaching students the basic knowledge of mathematics, algorithmics and computer science that should be mastered by every engineering graduate at computer science. As part of the core teaching, students are introduced to basic database techniques, the principles of software development and computer networks, and the possibilities of multimedia applications, among other things. Students primarily learn to program in basic languages such as Java, C++. They also receive a basic education in mathematics, marketing, management and law.
As part of specialized teaching, students choose the specializations in which they want to deepen their knowledge and skills. During specialized teaching, programmatically correlated with the fields of study, they learn such programming languages as Prolog, ML, Assembler, C#, SQL, among others. Specialized teaching also emphasizes the acquisition of practical teamwork skills through the implementation of specific projects.
Throughout the course of study, academy provides intensive English and optional Japanese.
Four years (studies in Polish or English).
Learning in online studies (part-time using distance learning methods and techniques) is as follows:
1. online learning through the Edux university system throughout the semester.
2. exam session plus lab session at the end of the semester at the university.
Educational materials are provided in the Edux university system. Each week, the student works through the given topic independently and completes homework assignments and tests. There is no need to log into the Edux system on a specific date. Neither joint lectures nor exercises are organized online. Educational materials are in html form with multimedia elements added. Sample materials are available on the website.
Contact with the instructors is in the form of weekly, optional consultations on the Microsoft Teams platform and also using Gmail.
Examination sessions (exams, credits) and laboratory sessions (intensive implementation of one subject) are held in the standard way on the university premises at the end of each semester. The exam session usually lasts 4 days (Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday), while the laboratory session lasts 4-5 days (working days and possibly a weekend). The two sessions are combined, so that you only need to come to Warsaw once a semester for about 9 days.
The study begins with a 4-day laboratory session in the subject "Introduction to Information Systems", which is held before the start of the semester on the university premises.
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.
