Undergraduate University Study of Computing

Admission requirements

Requirements for admission to study and transfer from other higher education institutions

Aims

Undergraduate university study in Computing shall prepare students for the graduate university study in Computing, and shall also provide opportunities for employment at appropriate professional positions. The aim of the study is to train students to apply basic and specialist knowledge in computer engineering to characterise, design, execute, exploit, and maintain information and computer systems and processes, to form and solve practical problems, to apply information and communication technology in economic and social entities, to use modern engineering tools to understand teamwork and effective communication, to understand ethics and ethical responsibility, to evaluate information and communication technology on the basis of critical thinking and intellectual integrity, and to understand the influence of engineering solutions on the society and the surroundings. Graduating students must be capable of pursuing lifelong learning and professional development, and they must have a broad education (being familiar with topics outside engineering). If students decide to continue their study, they shall be able to enrol into the graduate university study in Computing at the University of Rijeka, Faculty of Engineering, or same study at other universities in Croatia.
