During my studies, I spent one semester in Austria through the Erasmus+ international exchange programme. It was a great experience, that allowed me to go out of my comfort zone. However, I appreciated my study programme the most while studying at KTU – the courses here are designed to help students learn, not just to test their ability to pass exams. The final grade consists of a semester assignment grade and an exam grade. This has not only reduced stress but also encouraged continuous engagement with the material.

KTU students are provided with perfect conditions for practical skills training – smart laboratories, M-Lab interdisciplinary prototyping laboratory centre, the ability to join working research groups. Graduates of the Software Systems study programme have strong practical skills. The university works closely with business, which encourages students to further develop and expand their competencies and, when the time comes, to start their careers.

FAQ

Computer science studies do not focus on one type of training. While studying Informatics, students acquire both theoretical knowledge and practical skills.

No, you don’t need to buy any extra equipment for your studies. As a student, all you’ll need is a standard computer, powerful enough to attend lectures and do your homework. For everything else, you can rely on the equipment provided by the university.

When you study Informatics, you can choose between two specialisations – Internet Informatics or Multimedia Systems. However, if you value flexibility and want even more creative freedom, you can choose one of the Flexible Learning Paths instead: Innovation Development, Interdisciplinary Competence or Pedagogy. You’ll have the opportunity to tailor your studies to your interests and future goals, allowing you to deepen your knowledge in the area that really excites you.

Choosing to study Informatics at KTU means receiving a high quality education designed to prepare students for a successful career in IT. The curriculum is carefully structured to ensure that students develop both the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required for programming, internet technologies and wider IT fields. KTU stands out for its strong academic foundation, modern infrastructure tailored for the development of artificial intelligence, and an engaging learning environment where students can interact with experienced lecturers, like-minded peers and industry professionals.
