Description
The renovated study programme for Computer and Information Technology, which follows the guidelines for the Bologna system, will begin its 1st cycle in the 2007-2008 academic year at the Faculty of Engineering Computer Science and Information in Maribor. The goals that have been set up for this programme also apply to the 2nd cycle of the Computer and Information Technology programme. Students who graduate with a Master´s cycle from this programme will upgrade their broadening knowledge of the designs and implementation of planned methods in the field of computer and information technologies for industrial development and for important social institutions.
A more detailed introduction to the goals of the Computer and Information Technology programme are as follows:
1. The programme for the 2nd cycle is based on the characteristics of the 1st cycle of the Computer and Information Technology study programme. The programme has been upgraded with more emphasis on narrowing the direction of study and specializations. It is built on similar didactic principles with an emphasis on project work and connecting complementary themes for solving concrete and industrially interesting problems.
2. The syllabus of the Computer and Information Technology programme is designed to harmonize all the fields of computer science and information technology: Fundamental Computer Science, Computer Science and Engineering, Program Engineering and Information Technology, Information Systems.
3. The programme combines two basic demands: 1) Graduates from this programme must be capable of performing demanding developmental tasks for developmental research departments of industrial (and especially computer) companies that deal with manufacturing their own high quality products. 2) Graduates must be prepared to do scientific research work if they continue to a doctoral study programme.
4. The 2nd cycle programme upgrades the concepts that were begun in the group and project work during the 1st cycle of study. Therefore, the lectures and exercises for classes will be categorized as electives I and II. These electives will be offered as clusters in the form of developmental projects. New projects will be prepared for each new generation of students (normally, two of these projects include 8 electives). The project subjects will be meaningfully connected to the basic knowledge and developmental problems in the fields of computer science and information technology.
General competences gained with the programme
Graduating from the Computer and Information Technology programme will not only enable students to harmonize their professional knowledge but also allow them to form correct relationships with developmental research work, solve problems in groups and projects and connect their knowledge and possible solutions to innovative industrial products or services of high value. The most important general competences gained with this programme are as follows:
· Ability to think analytically and deconstruct complex problems and situations
· Ability to understand technical, technological and developmental problems
· Ability to cooperate in project groups with creative articles and argue the principles of the profession
· Ability to be personally and developmentally critical, responsible, resourceful and independent in making decisions when cooperating with or conducting large developmental projects
· Ability to recognize the methodologies, methods and techniques used in productive developmental and technological projects for the purposes of connecting and upgrading their contents
· Ability to follow current trends in technology and to continually improve all related knowledge
· Ability to have command of developmental approaches and to initiate technical and technological improvements for devices, services and other related fields of patent engineering
· Ability to analyze and synthesize complex solutions in developmental or technologically productive projects and in performing, managing and supervising such projects
· Ensure a professional, theoretical and experiential foundation for continuing study at the 3rd cycle (doctoral cycle) with the inclusion of scientific research work specifically in the field of computer science and information technology
· Ability to understand, plan, develop and ensure quality components that will bring an increased additional value to a wide segment of computer supported products. Such products include:
o Computer intelligence, intelligent systems and meaningful, service directed Interneto
o Virtual environments and computer animationo
o Voice-activated technology and evolutionary computationo
o Computer geometry and modellingo
o Perfected signal processing, computer vision and diagnostic systemso
o Bioformatics and neuro, nano and quantum computing
· Ability to have command of developmental and quality programme solutions, mobile and ubiquitous computing sciences, the principals of information systems, application servers and the field of safety and protection

These optional subjects are held in the winter semester, during the second academic year. In the beginning of the study each student chooses one project which also determines four optional subjects from the optional subjects list II.
Every year two projects are proposed. Each project has 4 optional subjects from the catalogue of the optional subjects list I, and 4 optional subjects from the catalogue of the optional subjects list II.
The student chooses subjects from the catalogue in accordance with his mentor and the Institute of Computer Science.
Two optional subjects are chose from the list of optional subjects for the program Computer Science and Information Technologies or from the list of subjects offered by other Slovenian or foreign Universities.
Requirements
Candidates who wish to enrol in a master´s programme must have the following completed:
· 1st cycle of the study programme (at least 180 ECTS credits) in professional fields in Computer science and information technologies, Informatics and communication technologies, Computer science and Informatics, double-major study programm Education and Computer science;
· 1st cycle of the study programme (at least 180 ECTS credits) in a related professional fields in technology, natural sciences and mathematics. This can be done if the candidate has completed at least 24 ECTS credits from the field of computer sciences before they enrol. Individualized lists of subjects that candidates must complete will be determined by the Student Affairs office at FERI (Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science). Subject lists will vary according to the candidate´s previous education, including their field of study, type of study programme, and study direction. Candidates must add written proof of all previously passed exams to their enrolment documentation;
· Undergraduate professional study programme accepted before June 11, 2004 (accepted in Slovenia)in professional fields in Computer science and Informatics;
· Undergraduate professional study programme accepted before June 11, 2004 (accepted in Slovenia)in a related professional fields in technology, natural sciences and mathematics. This can be done if the candidate has completed at least 24 ECTS credits related to computer science topics before they enrol.
