Alte University announces an exchange program in Croatia, at Algebra Bernays University.
Undergraduate students of the Computer Science program have the opportunity to participate in the Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme (BIP).
The short-term Erasmus+ mobility combines online and on-site learning components and allows students to gain international academic experience, develop intercultural skills, and collaborate with students from various European universities.
Within the program, students will learn:
- how to plan and manage a software development project
- how to collect and structure functional and non-functional requirements based on user needs
- how to work in a team
- how to monitor the project process and task implementation
- how to use a version control system during the development process
Students can use any programming language, tool, or platform. The evaluation is based on an individual project, which includes both preparing a functional specification and creating an application for the given task.
