PhD in Informatics
Where are ‘joint’ master studies in software engineering (Tempus project)? In: • Master of Information Technologies • Software engineering that consists of: • Courses from the ‘joint’ studies + • Some other courses – • Soft ‘joint’ courses (E-business, Business modeling, applied system thinking,…)
Some statistics – elective courses • BSc – obligatory courses 33% • Computer science: + 44 % • Information technologies: + 44% • BSc – elective courses: + 33 % • MSc Informatics, 33 % elective • MSc IT, 36 % elective • PhD, 100% elective
Some statistics: math. vs inf. 10 students enrolled • BSc in CS (only obligatory) • Mathematics + theoretical found.: 45 % • Informatics: 55 % • BSc in IT (only obligatory) • Mathematics + theoretical found.: 26 % • Informatics: 74 % 58 students enrolled
Some statistics: math. vs inf. • MSc in Inf - CS (only obligatory) • Mathematics + theoretical found.: 40 % • Informatics: 60 % • BSc in IT – SE (only obligatory) • Mathematics + theoretical found.: 15 % • Informatics: 85 %
Problems • Courses for PhD are ‘thin’ (5 ECTS points each) – because of accreditation ‘metrics’ • Is our BSc in CS (45% theory, 55% inf.) capable of doing something useful in industry? • Probably not → master
Conclusion • Is this the final stage of our continual 10-years efforts of reforms? • Probably not, but it is a good step in that direction • The next step: analyzing the courses contents to check the usefulness to industry (esp. after 3 years).
