Computer Science Programme § In 2001 – new programme Computer Science, based on ACM Computing Curricula 2001: Computer Science 2001 § 4 year programme § First two years – fundamentals: math + core programming skills § Third and fourth year - strong emphasis on applications: compilers, databases, AI, web technologies, OO design, UML, number of elective modules Goran Šuković, University of Montenegro 9

CS course structure § Basic course structure – 16 weeks semester (actually 14 working weeks), homeworks + projects + midterms (one or two) + final § Computer Science degree program revised in 2006 due to moving from 4 -year to 3 -year curriculum § No electives, no final project, some courses moved to Master studies Goran Šuković, University of Montenegro 10

Our approach (1) § Not just to tell you how other people have done things so that you can do the same § But rather to educate you to the point where you are able to invent new things § Professional education in computer science combined with mathematics Goran Šuković, University of Montenegro 11

Our approach (2) § Before applying, consider whether you really want to spend three or four years in intensive study in CS: – theory and practice – science and engineering – software and hardware Goran Šuković, University of Montenegro 12

Our Approach (3) § Not IT training courses for the specific tools only § We make available to students a wide range of information and tools for their investigation § A message to the future students – “If your primary aim is to become competent in a technique in current demand, with a view only to employability in the short term, or only as a supporting skill to interests and abilities outside computer science, then our programme are probably not what you are looking for. ” Goran Šuković, University of Montenegro 13
