Objective
The aim of the course is to familiarise participants with programming techniques in Python and the most popular libraries and frameworks of this language. The acquired knowledge and skills will enable the graduate to create applications in Python on their own. The curriculum is based on experience resulting from the implementation of real, complex IT projects. The studies are suitable for people who have not had contact with this programming language before.
What makes us different
- classes led by practitioners with teaching experience
- practical nature of the studies
- learning the latest and currently used technologies
- modern computer labs
- these studies are a good jumping-off point to start a career as a Python Developer
Benefits
Python is an easy-to-learn, versatile programming language. It has efficient high-level data structures and a simple yet effective approach to object-oriented programming. Python’s elegant syntax and dynamic typing, along with its interpretive nature, makes it an ideal language for scripting and rapid application development in many areas on most platforms. Popular uses of Python include: system scripts, database programs, creating the backend of websites, automation scripts, game and multimedia programming, software testing. The curriculum includes not only the Python language, but also the most popular and commonly used web technologies. The study programme focuses on practical activities and includes 190 hours of computer lab classes. The classes are taught by practitioners with years of experience using their own resources. The students receive a diploma of completion of postgraduate studies (a copy in Polish and in English).
Requirements
Bachelor’s, engineer’s, or master’s degree. Our candidates are only required to have basic computer skills, as we teach programming from scratch.
