Student must obtain 20 Latvian credit points per semester. 1 Latvian credit point means an average of 40 hours of students work, i.e., one full week. Latvian credit point is equal to 1.5 ECTS.
In an average workload is 16 class hours and 24 independent study hours per week during the semester.
At least 50% of the final grade has to be obtained during the semester, but at least 10% - during the exams session.
Examinations mainly are in written form. Oral examinations and tests also are used.
In general programmes have national orientation. Students are offered chances to spend one or two semesters studying in foreign universities (ERASMUS exchange). Some courses are taught in the English language.
Students have opportunities for further study at master’s study programme.

Structure of the programme

After two years of studies students have to choose one of specialization: Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Systems, Information Technology, and Software Engineering. A student has a possibility to choose the specialization Computer Science already after 1_^st semester.

Areas of specialization

• Computer Science – research and academic;
• Software Engineering – programmers and software project managers;
• Information Technologies – computer network specialists and project managers;
• Information Systems – database and information system specialists and project managers;
• Computer Engineering – embedded system and sensor network specialists and project managers.
