The educational objective of second-degree studies with a practical profile in the field of Computer Science is to prepare specialists possessing advanced knowledge and skills in the field of programming and creating computer games. Therefore, second-degree studies in the field of Computer Science offer two specializations: Programming and Creating computer games.

The curriculum, developed in cooperation with business representatives, is designed in a way that guarantees the education of comprehensively prepared specialists who will have competences enabling them to dynamically enter the labor market and take the position of leaders of task and management teams in domestic enterprises from the broadly understood IT sector.

Programming specialization. The programming specialization was created for students interested in both practical skills in software engineering as well as knowledge concerning theoretical basics of computer science, including algorithms supporting the programming process and mathematical basics of cryptography. Thanks to it, the graduate will gain experience in creating practical IT solutions based on modern languages and programming technologies. The specialization will also allow to deepen the knowledge of object-oriented programming, compiler design and principles of ensuring the security of computer systems. In addition, the graduate will acquire additional knowledge and skills in the field of functional programming, data mining, business application programming, cloud computing technology and methods of managing IT projects enabling teamwork. A graduate of the programming specialization will possess skills in the field of creating, developing and implementing IT systems, which will ensure a good position on the labour market.

A graduate of the programming specialization is a qualified:

• tester and programmer,
• software architect,
• back-end developer,
• specialist in the production, implementation, and development of modern software.

Creating computer games specialization. Computer games are currently one of the most recognizable Polish export goods. Although the title of the Polish gaming capital belongs to Katowice and it is there that numerous companies related to computer graphics and the computer games industry have their offices and branches, Częstochowa is the most important urban centre located in the northern subregion of the Silesian Voivodeship, which is dynamically developing and becoming a competitive counterweight to the offer of Katowice and the Upper Silesian Metropolis. Hence, the idea of providing graduates with the creating computer games specialization, which was created to teach practical skills and develop competences in the field of designing and programming computer games, including designing interfaces for games, ways of using and operating engines to simulate a specific scene, methods of modeling and animating 2D and 3D objects, designing 3D scenes that will be physically simulated, programming games for mobile devices, using artificial intelligence methods and algorithms in games. The curriculum focuses on the subjects related to computer and multimedia graphics, in particular: designing and programming graphics for the needs of games, proper sounding in games, designing augmented reality (AR) and programming virtual reality (VR). A graduate of this major is able to practically use the latest technologies in computer graphics and multimedia and quickly adapt to market requirements and needs.
