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.
As a 4th year student studying Computer Engineering and Computer Communications at this university, I am more than satisfied with the structure and content of the courses. Coupled with the possibility of replacing your classes with a full-time internship starting in the third year of studies which gives you the experience of working in your field of studies, the university exceeded my expectations with the opportunities it provides.

If they asked me “Why Novi Sad again?”, I would tell them because of the people, the Danube, because of the incredible young spirit for which it is best known, as well as because of the education that from year to year only goes uphill. Many student organizations, as well as youth organizations, offer students the opportunity to volunteer and thus prepare for jobs after graduation, which makes the University of Novi Sad very proud.
The new situation with the Corona virus has put, not only the University of Novi Sad, a test of endurance, but also universities and schools around the world.
The University of Novi Sad soon adapted the teaching to the online regime and made sure that the lectures and exercises were equally interesting, even though they were not live, emphasizing that the safety of students, professors and all people comes first.
First of all, I would like to say that I love the fact that our university has a campus where all the facilities including some of the student dorms are located on one place.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Faculty of Technical Sciences successfully made a transition to online teaching and kept the high standard it established before the pandemic.
I’d say that our university is gladly to be of any assistance to students.
Our university does offer Master studies for many study programmes.
There are many job fairs organized on our university every year, some even by the students. That’s a great opportunity for all the students to find potential jobs or professional practices.
University of Novi Sad is home to many different student organizations, one of them being EESTEC. EESTEC especially gives the opportunity to all students of Faculty of Technical Sciences to travel, meet other colleagues , learn many things, improve their soft skills etc. EESTEC organizes some of the biggest projects on University of Novi Sad, one of them being KONTEH job fair.
The wide range of occupations and education that the University of Novi Sad offers is certainly the dream of every student. During these 3 years of studying, I never once reconsidered my choice of a place where I decided to continue my higher education and life.
A huge selection of educational programs of OAS, master’s or doctoral studies would bring every student’s idea closer to realization.
Novi Sad, a city known for its culture, young spirit and sweet Vojvodina accent, is an ideal place for every adolescent to live – every student will find some peace in it, including himself. We are lucky that all the faculties are in one place, so in the break between lectures we have the opportunity to share coffee with colleagues from nearby buildings.
The adaptability of teaching in the new conditions of the pandemic differs between the faculties, but the efficiency of all regimes is undeniable. Of course, student safety remains paramount.
