The IT College offers different forms of study including day-time and evening courses, and distance learning (e-studies). A three-year study of applied higher education totalling 180 credit points in the European Credit Transfer System produces a specific vocational qualification equal to a Bachelor’s degree. The qualification awarded upon completion of the programme is Diploma of Professional Higher Education. The College’s priority is to train IT field specialists; yet, graduates may choose to pursue their studies at the Master’s level at home universities or abroad.
