Goran Šuković, University of Montenegro 9/18 Computer Science Programme  In 2001 – new programme Computer Science, based on ACM Computing Curricula 2001: Computer Science 2001 Computing Curricula 2001: Computer Science Computing Curricula 2001: Computer Science  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 10/18 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 11/18 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 12/18 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 13/18 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.”
