Great city, great location, good teachers, great selection of content, has a canteen with great food, has a good library with lots of stuff to do and use, most of the buildings in the campus are old but the rooms are renovated and everything is very organized.
At the start of each semester, there’s always a bit of initial confusion surrounding the selection of the calendar.
This calendar usually covers a wide range of topics, typically including some foundational courses in math, electronics, and introductory computer architecture concepts like logic.
Additionally, students will delve into areas like operating systems, various aspects of programming language basics, and backend development, exploring topics like APIs, databases, and frontend development using React and mobile development practices. A significant portion of the curriculum emphasizes object-oriented programming (OOP) principles.
While some of the technology might be outdated, the underlying principles remain relevant. Plus, there’s a dedicated semester for an internship, providing students with a glimpse of real-world work experience.
