M.Sc. in Computing

The M.Sc. in Computing program is designed to equip graduates with the skills to perform key roles in IT projects. The program focuses on applying engineering methods to mitigate common challenges in software development.

Specializations

The program offers two specializations:

• Software Engineering
• Cybersecurity

M.Sc. in Computing – Software Engineering

Overview

The M.Sc. in Software Engineering focuses on applying engineering methods to mitigate common challenges in software development, such as project delays, cost overruns, and software defects.

Duration and Start Date

• Duration: 1.5 years (3 semesters)
• Start Date: February/March 2026

Fees

• First semester: 12,500 PLN
• Each following semester: 10,500 PLN

Program Focus

The program aims to equip graduates with the skills to perform three key roles in IT projects:

• Project Manager: Project management methodologies, risk management, estimation of software development size and effort
• Analyst: Business process modeling, requirements elicitation, and preparation of acceptance tests
• Architect/Senior Developer: Object-oriented design, software architecture, real-time systems, and software testing

Software Development Studio (SDS)

A key feature of the program is the Software Development Studio (SDS), where students collaborate on real software projects for actual customers. Students work in teams, with M.Sc. students taking on leadership roles (project managers, analysts, architects) and Bachelor's students acting as designers and developers.

Requirements

Candidates should have a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Informatics, or related fields.

M.Sc. in Computing – Cybersecurity
