The passion for technology can lead you to choose the specialisation of Computer Science. This field has become increasingly popular in recent years, the development being so rapid that people are trying to keep up with it.
A Computer Science degree deals with the theoretical and practical foundations of information technology and computers. The scientific part merges with the practical one in various algorithms, information processing or in computational models. This specialisation often aims to study methodological processes, making representations on a computer, storage, or accessing information.
At the same time, the study of Computer Science focuses on the learning of programming languages, which are extremely important for any student. Python, C ++, Java are just a few of the programming languages that are explored in depth by students in order to solve the applications received from the faculty. Furthermore, on the labour market, programming languages are highly appreciated and integrated, being a useful tool for optimal performance of industries.
The most important skill that young people learn following this degree is the use of programming languages. Once they grasp the logic of programming, they will easily be able to master the languages and build or develop WEB applications. Additional skills that are acquired can be: network design and engineering, software engineering, multimedia design. In addition, classical skills such as teamwork, leadership, problem-solving or time management are also gained by students.
According to recent studies, 6 of the 10 best jobs chosen by graduates are linked to Computer Science. These include Web Design, Computer Support Specialist, IT Operations Technician or Database Administrator. Moreover, the employment rate is favourable to the students, being over 70%. Due to the rapid advancement of technology, it is expected that the supply will grow in the future, requiring computer science specialists in any field.
To study Computer Science, students can either pursue university courses or follow courses online, depending on their availability and income. Online or outside-university courses include disciplines such as: Information Systems Management, Game Programming, Web Development, Network Fundamentals. They usually have a duration of 2 years. Although these courses provide important skills in this specialisation, students may be disadvantaged when competing with a student who has a Bachelor’s Degree. Some of the most important campuses in the world include Penn State World Campus, University of Massachusetts, Lowell (The Division of Online Learning and Continuing Education), Saint Leo University.
The Bachelor in Computer Science lasts around 3 to 4 years, depending on the university. Throughout the programme, students acquire mathematical knowledge, theoretical and practical foundation in programming. Some of the subjects discussed are: Computer Programming, Data Structures, Databases, Algorithms, Linear Algebra, Probability Theory or Statistics. These vary according to the curriculum of the university.
A Master’s program complete the students’ necessary career skills. In this way, they have a greater understanding of computing softwares, tools, packages, and computer architecture.
There are Master programs that can be followed even by those who have not undertaken undergraduate studies in Computer Science, such as those offered at the University of Birmingham for example. These programs can take either 2 to 5 years.
A PhD program is especially dedicated to those who want to research or become university professors and can last between 4 to 5 years.
Friendly teachers, many student clubs, many events to bring students closer every month, and so on. Overall I really like this university. My study curriculum is also well structured, one thing I am missing thought is more project work. I would love it if my univerisity encourages me to do more practical work with real-life applications.
View moreVery good community life, high-quality education. If I could do it over again, I would apply for BME again. Community life is similarly mature as in America, we have an endless circle of people who provide a wide range of knowledge to those who want to deepen their knowledge in all areas.
View moreI was a student of this university for 5 years and if I ever had to decide again I would come here again. It was a great experience both the social life and classes were great. I would recommend for anybody.
View moreBME is a great school but then there is so much workload that’s why I’m giving it 3 stars otherwise I love it here, anyone who wants to come to BME should really do cuz it’s very diverse and we have a lot of internationals. You’ll love it!
View moreThe subjects are very different, we learn IT from the laws of physics to the high overview of complex systems. There are many great subjects with excellent notes but unfortunately all of them are acceptable. The student community maintains a knowledge base where missing notes are collected.
View moreI’ve attended this university for Bachelor and Master of Science degree in Computer Science. As Hungary’s leading engineering university it lived up to my expectations. Mostly great teachers, busy student communities.
During my BSc studies I felt we had a bit too wide range of subjects, without much specialization. I had to go to classes which didn’t really interested me, but I guess it’s like that everywhere, Bachelor’s degree are supposed to give us a wide range of knowledge and a good foundation for going further. And even i the certain classes didn’t interest me, the degree as a whole gave me a good engineering mindset.
I liked my Master’s much better, with the possibility to specialize more. I could study and research what interested me. The teacher’s are u to date with current technologies, most of them had industrial experience. All of them who I spoke to were open to questions, and was happy to discuss and even debate different opinions. I even got help in looking for a job after I finished.
Very big part of the university experience is the community. We had a really great one, with good opportunities to step out from the classroom and our comfort zones. There were several student competitions with different technologies, where people could try out their ideas and work on much more fascinating things than the usual class exercises. For example I got to modify an RC car to be able to follow a line on its own and do different task and compete with other similar cars on a racetrack. Beside engineering opportunities I joined ESN which gave me a lot of experience in teamwork, in leading people, and a great deal of social skills. So basically the university gave me everything I was looking for both in the professional field and in social life. And I haven’t mentioned sports yet, which also plays a big part o the student life.
