Why study Computer Science?

Computer Science dlaczego
Dlaczego warto:

International study environment

The Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science at the University of Humanities and Economics in Lodz (AHE Lodz) is delivered in English at a non-public institution. From day one students work in multicultural teams, use professional terminology naturally, and learn to present ideas clearly—skills that transfer directly to international tech companies and agile start-ups.

Programme that blends theory with practice

Courses are designed around real tasks: problem-solving labs, case studies, and project workshops. Core computer science concepts are anchored in hands-on coding, so students practise algorithms, data structures, and software design while building working solutions. This approach builds confidence at the keyboard and mirrors daily routines in software development.

Modern tools and industry habits

The programme emphasises practical tooling used in companies: version control, testing, documentation, and collaboration in shared repositories. Students learn to read requirements, write maintainable code, and iterate based on feedback. Exposure to these habits early on makes the transition to professional teams smoother and helps avoid common pitfalls of novice projects.

Close contact with academic staff

Mentoring is a differentiator. Access to engaged lecturers and practitioners means regular consultations, structured feedback, and guidance in shaping an individual learning path. Students can refine project scopes, choose technologies wisely, and build a coherent portfolio—all while developing professional etiquette and a network that often leads to internships.

Flexible organisation of studies

Teaching formats include lectures, exercises, and laboratories arranged to increase complexity step by step. This rhythm leaves space for personal initiatives: participation in student groups, hackathons, or building side projects. Such flexibility helps combine study with part-time work, volunteering, or freelance coding without losing academic momentum.

Portfolio from the first semesters

Learners document projects with readme files, testing notes, and short technical reports. Over time this becomes a tangible portfolio that shows growth: from simple scripts to multi-module applications. Recruiters value not only the code but also the narrative—problem framing, design decisions, and lessons learned—which graduates are trained to articulate.

Tech skills plus communication

Beyond programming, the pathway develops communication, teamwork, and presentation skills. Students practise peer reviews, sprint planning, and demo sessions, explaining complex ideas to non-technical stakeholders. Such soft skills, combined with methodical task prioritisation, make graduates effective collaborators who can contribute from the first week on the job.

Clear career and study prospects

Graduates are prepared for junior roles such as software developer, tester, data analyst, or systems administrator, with pathways towards solution architecture or project coordination. Studying in English keeps international doors open and eases progression to Master’s studies—whether at AHE Lodz or other universities in Poland and abroad.

Lodz as a living lab

The city’s evolving tech scene—meet-ups, workshops, and collaborative events—offers chances to test competences outside the classroom. Students can gather feedback from practitioners, explore internships, and expand networks. This ecosystem, combined with university support, creates a realistic runway from academic projects to professional challenges.

Definitions and quotes

Computer
A computer is a device that can be instructed to carry out sequences of arithmetic or logical operations automatically via computer programming. Modern computers have the ability to follow generalized sets of operations, called programs. These programs enable computers to perform an extremely wide range of tasks.
Computer Science
Computer science is the study of the theory, experimentation, and engineering that form the basis for the design and use of computers. It is the scientific and practical approach to computation and its applications and the systematic study of the feasibility, structure, expression, and mechanization of the methodical procedures (or algorithms) that underlie the acquisition, representation, processing, storage, communication of, and access to, information. An alternate, more succinct definition of computer science is the study of automating algorithmic processes that scale. A computer scientist specializes in the theory of computation and the design of computational systems. See glossary of computer science.
Science
Science (from Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.
Computer Science
[Computers] are developing so rapidly that even computer scientists cannot keep up with them. It must be bewildering to most mathematicians and engineers... In spite of the diversity of the applications, the methods of attacking the difficult problems with computers show a great unity, and the name of Computer Sciences is being attached to the discipline as it emerges. It must be understood, however, that this is still a young field whose structure is still nebulous. The student will find a great many more problems than answers.
George Forsythe (1961) "Engineering students must learn both computing and mathematics". J. Eng. Educ. 52 (1961), p. 177. as cited in (Knuth, 1972) According to Donald Knuth in this quote Forsythe coined the term "computer science".
Science
Today, when so much depends on our informed action, we as voters and taxpayers can no longer afford to confuse science and technology, to confound “pure” science and “applied” science.
Jacques-Yves Cousteau, in Jacques Cousteau and Susan Schiefelbein, The Human, the Orchid, and the Octopus: Exploring and Conserving Our Natural World (2007), 181.
Computer Science
Computer science is an empirical discipline. [...] Each new machine that is built is an experiment. Actually constructing the machine poses a question to nature; and we listen for the answer by observing the machine in operation and analyzing it by all analytical and measurement means available. Each new program that is built is an experiment. It poses a question to nature, and its behavior offers clues to an answer.
Allen Newell (1975) Computer Science as Empirical Inquiry: Symbols and Search. p. 114
