Computer Science

Program Overview

Computer Science studies are conducted by Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Automatics, Computer Science and Biomedical Engineering in cooperation with Faculty of Computer Science, Electronics and Telecommunications, Faculty of Physics and Applied Computer Science, and Faculty of Metals Engineering and Industrial Computer Science. These studies aim to provide knowledge and skills necessary to create and use broadly understood computer systems. They cover both theoretical foundations in the areas of mathematics, physics, computer science, as well as practical aspects, including design and implementation of PC and mobile systems, software development (programming in various languages), systems administration, data analysis, use of programming tools (software libraries, frameworks, and environments), including commercial applications and open-source software. Upon completion of the first-cycle studies, a student acquires knowledge at the engineering level, which is extended by the practical use of this knowledge during student internship after the sixth semester. How competitive: AGH ranks applicants on a recruitment index out of 1,000: twice the Mathematics result, six times a main subject (Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science or a foreign language) and twice a second (from the same list), with each IB grade scaled so that a 7 counts 100 (the two subjects at HL; 300 is the minimum). In summer 2026 the threshold for this programme was 832 in the first qualification round (13 July) and between 670 and 762 in the four later ones, to 16 September.
