Admission requirements:

The candidates applying for MSc in Computer Science programme with English as a language of instruction should have BSc diploma in Computer Science (Informatics). In case of having degree in another programme – it is necessary to partipate in written qualification test.

Admission of Bachelor or Master degree holders from Computer Science is made on the basis of average grade from the previous education.

Admission of Bachelor or Master degree holders from other programmes or faculties than Computer Science is made on the basis of grade obtained in qualification test verifying the candidate’s competencies to study at 2nd cycle studies and of average grade from the previous education according to equation presented below.

The place on a ranking list decides about admission. The candidates ranking list is created according to the following equation:

W = 0.5 D + 0.5 T

Where:

D – stands for figure corresponding to average grade of 1st cycle studies;

T – stands for figure corresponding to qualification test grade.

The following method of calculating points for the candidate who graduated from Computer Science is accepted — in place of T - the number corresponding to maximum grade which can be obtained from qualification test.

In case of candidates with the same result, the grade from diploma exam will be considered.

Who can apply?

A candidate for the studies may be a person who:

• holds Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science,
• holds Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in other fields of studies – it is required from the candidate to pass a qualification test (in English) verifying the candidate’s competencies in Computer Science.

Required documents:

• Bachelor’s degree or Master’s degree diploma in Computer Science/Informatics or related field of study with supplement covering transcripts of records of all undertaken courses (translated into English or Polish, if submitted document is issued in any other language);
• Document confirming competence in the English language
