⇑Why study Computer Science at master's level at WSB University?

Dlaczego warto studiować w Akademii WSB
Why study it:

Computer Science at WSB University (Akademia WSB) is a four-semester master's programme taught in English. It is aimed at graduates of technical and IT fields who want to specialise in artificial intelligence, data analysis or multimedia.

Programme: advanced methods and data-driven technology

The curriculum covers advanced programming methods, databases and data warehouses, the modelling of IT systems, cloud infrastructure and services, and machine learning.

You learn to design and model information systems, work in advanced development environments and use analytical tools built on data. The emphasis is on analysing technological problems and creating innovative solutions in project work. Beyond technical knowledge the course develops your ability to design IT systems, analyse large data sets and use intelligent tools that support business and new technologies. You also build creativity and the skill of solving complex problems, in a project-oriented and international environment.

Specialisation: AI, data science or multimedia

You choose one of three specialisations:

  • Artificial Intelligence Application – machine learning, neural networks and the design of intelligent systems.
  • Data Scientist – analysis of large data sets, data mining, machine learning and the programming languages used in data science.
  • Multimedia Technologies – modern multimedia, image and sound processing, and solutions for the digital environment.

Labs: labs and team projects

Classes are hands-on: workshops, team projects and practical laboratory sessions, including virtual laboratories, taught by experts experienced in artificial intelligence and data analysis. You work on real technological problems, analyse data and build AI-based solutions, and the university's cooperation with business partners lets you follow current technology trends and meet industry practitioners while you study.

After graduation: AI, data and development roles

Where graduates work

  • RolesAI Specialist, Data Scientist, Machine Learning Engineer, Software Developer, data analyst, multimedia solutions designer
  • Employerstechnology companies, software houses, research and development centres, new media and organisations that rely on advanced IT and analytics

⇑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
Indeed, one of my major complaints about the computer field is that whereas Newton could say, "If I have seen a little farther than others, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants," I am forced to say, "Today we stand on each other's feet." Perhaps the central problem we face in all of computer science is how we are to get to the situation where we build on top of the work of others rather than redoing so much of it in a trivially different way. Science is supposed to be cumulative, not almost endless duplication of the same kind of things.
Richard Hamming, 1968 Turing Award lecture, Journal of the ACM 16 (1), January 1969, p. 7
Computer Science
Interviewer: Is studying computer science the best way to prepare to be a programmer? Bill Gates: No. the best way to prepare is to write programs, and to study great programs that other people have written. In my case, I went to the garbage cans at the Computer Science Center and I fished out listings of their operating system. You got to be willing to read other people's code, then write your own, then have other people review your code. You've got to want to be in this incredible feedback loop where you get the world-class people to tell you what you're doing wrong.

Computer Science
Computer science research is different from these more traditional disciplines. Philosophically it differs from the physical sciences because it seeks not to discover, explain, or exploit the natural world, but instead to study the properties of machines of human creation. In this it is analogous to mathematics, and indeed the "science" part of computer science is, for the most part mathematical in spirit. But an inevitable aspect of computer science is the creation of computer programs: objects that, though intangible, are subject to commercial exchange.
Dennis Ritchie (1984) Reflections on Software Research.
