WHY IS IT WORTH IT?
Studying at the faculty of Information Technology allows obtaining the title of engineer computer scientist, that is an expert prepared to face challenges of contemporary IT-communication systems.
STAFF
We gain knowledge beside notable academic teachers, experts in mathematics, physics and technical sciences.
We educate future engineers, that is why most of our curricula are of practical character, in the form of classes in computer lab, group projects and individual programmer’s projects. A great advantage of CSMC is reference to the latest media techniques (professional radio and TV studio).

BENEFITS
We focus strongly on practical use of vide range of IT tools ment for effective managing and monitoring IT systems. We pay attention to application use of IT technologies in administration, industry and broadly understood business. Apart from good portion of theoretical knowledge, students get a unique opportunity to practice it – in a radio and TV studio, handling websites as well as creating concrete multimedia projects. We also offer intense equalizing classes of maths through one semester.
FUTURE
After graduation from IT studies, a school leaver may work as, among others, graphic designer in companies and institutions preparing TV programs, advertising agencies, graphic studios preparing publications for
printing, publishing houses as well as in companies producing websites and media.

Semester W/S: W – the Winter Term, S – the Summer Term
SUBJECT DESCRIPTION
Computer Architecture
- Semester: Winter
- Hours per week lecture/laboratory: 3/1
- ECTS: 5
- Description:
- Principle of basic digital and logical elements.
- Main board architecture (CPU, Memory etc)
- Introduction of software diagnostics systems ( SISOFT, EVEREST, CPU-Z)
- Single board computer – Intel Galileo and Raspberry Pi
Computer networks
- Semester: Winter
- Hours per week lecture/laboratory: 3/1
- ECTS: 5
- Description: During the computer networking course there is a holistic focus on practical challenges, which nowadays means that we’re working with a variety of cloud technologies, server solutions, workstation setups, and also with RPi-like boards. There’s obviously no requirement to own a RPi or to use your private hardware, but if you do have your own board please feel free to take it with you. Since a RPi is basically a generic computer you may find it interesting to explore how it performs in server- or workstation like task. There’s no strict prerequisite to have Linux knowledge, but since a vast majority of Internet enabled devices runs some *nix, Linux is in fact the essential work environment for the computer networking course. if you’re familiar with Raspbian, that’s great – this will allow us to move faster and devote some more class time to real world use cases. (Some Python experience would also prove advantageous).
The Electronics and Measurements Methods
- Semester: Winter
- Hours per week lecture/laboratory: 1/1
- ECTS: 5
- Description: The subject concerns the knowledge and skill from the field of electronics and performing the measurements of phisical parameters using electronic systems like e.g. photosensors. This course connects these two discipline to learn how to use the electronic systems to perform specialistic measurements.
- Purposes:
- achieving the basic practical knowledge on the subject of the mesauring using the electronic systems connected to the PC,
- writing the reports from the performed experiments.
- Course process:
- theoretical introduction to the task,
- assembly of the hardware module and system startup,
- task execution, mainly creating the project in specialistic software and save data.
- Purposes:
Human-computer interactions
- Semester: Winter
- Hours per week lecture/laboratory: 1/1
- ECTS: 5
- Description: It’s hard to describe the whole HCI course content in just few sentences. Suffice to say, the ultimate goal is to gain insight software design process; It’s about finding and understating users needs, and designing efficient and elegant UI for software. If you’re interested in learning more please, take a look at some exceptional books like „About Face 3: The Essentials of Interaction Design” or „Don’t Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability”. There’s also a quite comprehensive list of HCI topics on Wikipedia (with lots of links for further exploration).
Operating Systems
- Semester: Winter
- Hours per week lecture/laboratory: 1/2
- ECTS: 5
- Description: The goal of this course is to provide an introduction to the internal operation of modern operating systems. In particular, the course will cover processes and threads, mutual exclusion, CPU scheduling, deadlock, memory management, and file systems. If time permits, we may briefly examine networking and distributed computing, and perhaps other topics. Students will use the Nachos instructional operating system for several programming projects.
Introduction to Computer Science
- Semester: Summer
- Hours per week lecture/laboratory: 0/1
- ECTS: 4
- Description: The subject of the course will be an introduction to the theory of computation, which is the piece of theoretical computer science dealing with the problems that are solvable using computers, and problems for which solutions do not exist (and will not be found, even with the use of computers that will only be created in the future). Theory of computations comes within the scope of the mathematical foundations of computer science.The material will be divided into three parts. Each of them starts with an introductory lecture (using computer presentation) and ends with practical exercises (carried out with the use of a computer).At the beginning the concept of computability will be discussed along with examples ofcomputable functions (and problems). Then we will show that there are uncomputable problems, i.e. those for which there is no algorithm that computes them. We will get to know three universal models of computation (i.e. thosewith a use of which it is possible to compute everything that is computable), namely: counter machines, Turing machines and inhibitor Petri nets.Great emphasis will be put on solving exercises independently by students (possibly with the use of computer simulators).
