Which mode of study to choose?

Deciding on a course of study is one of the most difficult challenges facing young people. But equally important is the question: in what mode to study - full-time, part-time, or perhaps online? Each of these forms has its advantages and disadvantages. The most important thing is to choose the one that best fits your lifestyle, goals and career plans. At the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology you can study on your own terms. Let's take a closer look at the different modes of study!

full-time study - classic track

Full-time study is the classic choice for people who can devote all their time to studying and student life. If you want to focus on your studies and have the ability to commute to university every day, full-time study may be the ideal choice.

Advantages of full-time study

Regularity and rhythm of learning
A fixed class schedule helps you maintain discipline and better organize your study time. The class schedule is comfortably spread out over the week, allowing you to explore topics more easily by learning them regularly during class.
Opportunity to experience "student life"
Studying is not just about learning. It's also a time to make friends (perhaps for life), develop interests and find your path. Full-time study provides more opportunities to interact with peers and to create and join study clubs or get involved in university life.
More time to...?
Studying full-time and not taking on concurrent gainful employment means you'll have more time to pursue your ideas in a safe environment. That's why it's the period of study that so often fosters the creation of innovative start-ups. You have the chance to realize ideas that may not bring immediate profits, but provide invaluable experience, develop creativity and teach you to make bold decisions.

part-time study - for those who combine work and study

Part-time mode allows you to combine your studies with work or other commitments. Classes are held on weekends, allowing more flexibility in scheduling time. Part-time students enjoy the same resources as day students - the difference is only in the organization of time. If you work, have other obligations or simply value independence, part-time mode may be the best choice for you.

Advantages of part-time study

More flexibility in planning your week
Classes are held on weekends, making it possible to combine studying with work or other activities. It also makes it easier to study in a city other than where you live.
Opportunity to gain valuable work experience
part-time study allows you to enter the job market quickly. The work experience you gain already during your studies can become your asset on the job market. You gain an advantage because you simultaneously develop practical skills and build a network of professional contacts, which can make it easier to get a better job in the future.
Financial liquidity and the ability to become independent
Thanks to the possibility of combining your studies with gainful employment, you can cover your living expenses, pay your tuition and gradually become independent of family support. In addition, such an organization of life allows you to develop competencies related to budget and time management, which is invaluable both in your personal and professional life.

For those who prefer to study remotely, many Polish universities have provided for a part-time online mode. At PJAIT , it is possible to study computer science in this form. This solution is ideal for those who want to reconcile their education with their professional obligations or live far from the university. If you value the freedom to organize your time and can motivate yourself to work independently, online studies are a hit.

It should be noted that online studies require exceptional self-discipline and commitment. This is a form of education for persistent people who can organize their time and work independently. The lack of daily meetings with lecturers and peers does not mean a "relaxed" approach. On the contrary, the effects of study depend largely on your determination and ability to acquire knowledge independently. This study program includes in its program several residential and laboratory meetings and a session.
