Education

 The Institute offers BSc, MSc, and PhD degrees. The curricula consist mainly of mandatory courses for undergraduates and a broad spectrum for specialization on graduate level. The curricula have already been adjusted to conform to the so-called Bologna project, embracing most of the topics of modern informatics and computer science.

 The informatics/computer science and some of the engineering courses belong to the departments of the Institute of Informatics. The Institute of Mathematics and the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration are responsible for the mathematics and economics courses. The physics courses are taught by the Departments of Physics.

BSc programs

 Presently we have three programs at undergraduate level: Business Information Technology, Engineering Information Technology and Software Information Technology.
The education's language is Hungarian.

Business Information Technology, BSc

 The normal duration of the program is 7 semesters. The program produces experts who are well versed in the information society, and are able to understand and solve the problems arising in real business processes. They can manage the information technology supporting the business needs, such as improve on the knowledge base and business intelligence of companies, model the cooperation of info communication processes and technologies, control those processes, identify problems, and develop applications (and also maintain and monitor their quality). Moreover the graduates are equipped by the theoretical basics to continue their studies at MSc level.

Engineering Information Technology, BSc

 The normal duration of the program is 7 semesters. The goal of the program is to train computer experts with solid engineering skills. The graduates are expected to install and operate complex systems, especially in the information infrastructure area, and also to plan and develop the data and program system of such systems. This means skills both in hardware and advanced software technology, involving modeling, simulation, performance, reliability, configuration, trouble shooting, maintenance, and development of systems. They are also provided with appropriate basic knowledge to continue their studies at MSc level.

Software Information Technology, BSc

 The normal duration of the program is 6 semesters. The graduates are supposed to have high skills in planning and development of company information systems using modern software tools. Furthermore, they are trained in the planning, development and operation of decision support systems, expert systems, and multimedia systems. The graduates also receive firm basis in Computer Science knowledge in order to have suitable knowledge to continue their studies at MSc level.

MSc, MA programs

 Presently we have three programs at graduate level: Business Information Technology, Software Information Technology and Teacher of Informatics.
The education's language is Hungarian.

Business Information Technology, MSc

 The normal duration of the program is 4 semesters. The goal of the training is to produce experts who are able to understand complex business processes, to explore the arising problems and work out alternative solutions. They can recognize the surfacing demands that appear while using information systems supporting those processes. They are prepared to develop those and to manage ready-made applications. They possess the necessary skills to coordinate and conduct research and development, and to continue their studies at PhD level.

Software Information Technology, MSc

 The normal duration of the program is 4 semesters. The goal of the training is to produce informatics/computer science experts who have firm theoretical basis, and they are able to expand their knowledge autonomously in a long run. They can work in teams or on their own, to develop, produce, apply, introduce, maintain, and to service information systems at high level. Furthermore, they possess the necessary cooperation and model making skill that are needed for solving of the informatics problems arising in their fields. They are also able to conduct research work, and to continue their studies at PhD level. There are six offered fields for specializations: Image Processing, Artificial Intelligence, Model Making for Informaticians, Operations Research, Computer Science, and Software Development.

Teacher of Informatics, MA

 The normal duration of the program is 5 semesters. Students are accepted in this program who have a BSc degree specialized in informatics and had preliminary courses in teaching methodology. The goal of the teacher training program is to provide teachers who have the right and competencies to teach the subject of informatics in all types of schools or courses. They will also help the use of informatics and information technologies in a wide range of other school subjects. The teachers will be able to use professionally the computer tools and to carry out programming tasks. In addition, they will be ready to develop their knowledge continuously by self-education or in refreshment courses and are also able to conduct research work, and to continue their studies at PhD level.

PhD program

 In addition of the above programs, a doctoral program in Computer Science has been available since 1993. The aim of this program is to support graduate studies, leading to the degree of PhD in computer science.
The program was part of the Doctoral School in Mathematics and Computer Science of the Faculty of Science of the University of Szeged till the end of 2008, then a new Doctoral School on Computer Science have been founded.
There are three main research areas in the School:
Theoretical Computer Science, Operations Research and Combinatorial Optimization, and Applications of Computer Science. The possible research topics preferably, but not exclusively can be chosen among those parts of computer science and related areas, which are being investigated at the Institute of Informatics. The normal duration of the program is 6 semesters. Students are required to take entrance examinations for the admittance. The State of Hungary usually supports up to 6-7 new fellowships every year that is offered to Hungarian citizens. Foreign students are not entitled for that fellowship, their tuition and other expenses have to be supported from other sources.
