WSB Merito University in Gdańsk runs this first-cycle engineering programme over six semesters, taught in British English, either full-time or in a hybrid format that combines lecture rooms with MS Teams. It suits school-leavers who want to write code in C# and Python and also understand the networks and servers that applications run on.
The foundations are mathematical: mathematical analysis, linear algebra, discrete mathematics, probability and statistics. They sit next to computer architecture, operating systems, databases, programming basics, and algorithms and data structures, so the theory always has code to run on.
Later subjects widen the picture with object-oriented programming, the design of information systems, computer simulation, graphics and multimedia, and human–computer interaction. You also learn to administer server environments, to design and secure telecommunication networks, and to script animations, and you meet IoT and VR technologies along the way.
The specialisation on offer is Software Development, and its classes include front-end developer tools, designing single-page applications, .NET programming, IoT network design and a team project on network security.
Teaching leans on group projects, case studies and lectures from practitioners. At the end you prepare a diploma project in a team: you choose a practical or theoretical IT problem, research the literature, run your own analyses and defend your proposed solution before a committee.
