Program Overview

# Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at AGH University

Program Overview

Our Computer Science program equips you with the knowledge and skills to design, build, and manage modern computer systems—combining rigorous theoretical foundations in mathematics and physics with practical, hands-on experience in software development, systems administration, and data analysis. Over 3.5 years, you'll move from core concepts to real-world applications, culminating in an internship that bridges what you've learned in the classroom to actual industry practice.

## Curriculum Structure

First Year (Semesters 1–2)
Your foundation begins with essential theoretical coursework in mathematics, physics, and foundational computer science concepts. You'll build the mathematical and logical thinking required for advanced programming and systems design. These early semesters establish the conceptual framework that will support your technical specialization in later years.

Second Year (Semesters 3–4)
As you progress, you'll dive deeper into practical aspects of computer science, including software design and programming tool implementation. You'll apply the theoretical knowledge from your first year to real coding projects and system design challenges. This is where you start seeing your ideas come to life through hands-on development work.

Third Year (Semesters 5–6)
Your final semesters focus on advanced topics like systems administration, data analysis, and specialized programming applications. You'll have greater flexibility to explore areas that align with your interests and career goals. At the end of the sixth semester, you'll complete a practical internship that gives you genuine industry experience before graduation.

Fourth Year (Semester 7)
Your final semester may include capstone coursework or continued professional experience, solidifying your readiness for the job market.
