About the Program

The Master's program in Information Technology/Technical Computer Science qualifies students for leading engineering activities in business, science, education, and government agencies, as well as for doctoral studies at national or international universities. The program provides knowledge and methods at the interface between electrical engineering and computer science, covering both software and hardware development. The Master's study deepens theoretical and research-related aspects, enabling students to understand and systematically address problems in their field. Through a wide range of elective modules, students can design their studies according to their personal interests. The program requires a greater degree of independent work, with good abstraction skills and interest in theoretical matters and their implementation in practical systems being advantageous. The Master's program comprises three semesters and is divided into compulsory, elective, and optional modules. In the first two semesters, students select modules from the elective areas of electrical engineering, computer science, and complementary electives, as well as from the non-technical subject area. The third semester is dedicated to the preparation and defense of the Master's thesis.
