Welcome to the Computer Science Department

The Computer Science discipline, albeit a relatively young scientific field, has already been recognized as a key scientific and technological discipline with impressive development and a strong influence on other sciences and the society at large. The growing significance and broad applicability of Computer Science has established the Department of Computer Science as one of the most dynamic and competitive departments in the University of Cyprus. The skills and high educational level that our students gain during their studies are acknowledged both by the local IT industry as well as abroad, as our graduates achieve commendable performance either as employees in the domestic industry or as postgraduate students at leading Universities in Europe and America. The annual student intake of the Department of Computer Science consists of 90 undergraduate students and approximately 35-40 graduate students. Currently, 410 undergraduate, 80 postgraduate and 34 PhD students are enrolled in the Department. Our Department is working systematically towards attracting outstanding students by organizing and supporting annual Computer Science seminars and competitions,such as the Workshop for High School Students and the Logipaignion game-creation contest.

Both the undergraduate and postgraduate curricula have been designed to meet the current challenges and advancements in Computer Science, and cover theoretical foundations, technical knowledge, and experimental methodologies of Computer Science with a strong problem-solving focus. The Department follows on a continuous basis and contributes itself towards the scientific developments and advances of Computer Science, revising and modernizing at regular intervals its curricula, enriching its catalogue of advanced electives, and enhancing the interdisciplinary of its education provision. In addition, the Department offers a minor in Computer Science for students of other departments of the University of Cyprus. More details are included in the prospectus.

At the postgraduate level, our department offers a Ph.D. program in Computer Science and a number of Masters programmes, including both programmes with a research orientation and programmes with a professional orientation. In addition, the Department offers a joint Masters programme with the Cyprus University of Technology in the “Design and Development of Computer Games and Interactive Technologies”, while from the academic year 2017/18 another joint Masters programme in “Cognitive Systems” will be offered by distance learning in collaboration with the Open University of Cyprus and the Department of Psychology of the University of Cyprus.

All programmes of the Department comply with the regulations of the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS). Every student, on the completion of his/her studies receives a Diploma Supplement together with his/her University degree. During your studies, you are strongly encouraged to participate in the European programme ERASMUS+ that supports student exchanges, thus allowing you to spend a semester of your studies at another academic institute within the European Higher Education Area.

Our Department is in constant dialogue with industry, relevant government departments and centers of excellence abroad to contribute decisively in promoting Cyprus as a center of services, expertise and innovation in Computer, Information and Communication technologies. Also, the Department is working vigorously for the international promotion of our students’ skills through attendance and/or awards in international competitions in programming, innovation, entrepreneurship, etc. Overall, our goal isto bestow our students with knowledge, skills and competenciesthat would enable them to push the frontiers of the Cypriot IT industry towards new highly competitive areas in comparison with the corresponding industries of other countries in our geographical region as well as in Europe.

In these efforts the strong presence of the Department in research is vital. In the twenty five years since its foundation, the Department has developed highly important activities and contributes in the promotion of science and knowledge worldwide. Particularly important is the participation of the Department in research programs of the European Union (EU), as well as domestic programs of the Research Promotion Foundation (RPF) of Cyprus. Specifically, since 2005, faculty members of the Department have attracted more than 150 research projects from the EU and the RPF with a total budget exceeding €18,000,000. Most of this funding has been used to subsidize hundreds of young scientists - researchers, doctoral students, postdoctoral associates and graduate students from Cyprus and abroad, to develop modern research and teaching infrastructure and the development of innovative software systems, hardware and applications. Research results are presented by faculty members and researchers of the Department each year in top Computer Science journals and conferences and are exploited by the international scientific community and industry. In addition, a particularly valuable contribution of the Department is its support towards governmental actions for the uptake of Information and Communication Technologies by the public sector, the promotion of the Internet and the Web in Cypriot businesses and society, and the technological modernization of Secondary Education and Health Services.

During your studies, I urge you to actively engage in the Departmental teaching and research activities to get the utmost regarding knowledge and experience that the Department can offer to you. Also, I invite you to take advantage of courses in other disciplines offered by the various Departments of the University, in order to enhance your knowledge and gain a more comprehensive and universal education. This opportunity is also available through the European Student Exchange Programme ERASMUS+ mentioned above.

With best wishes, Chairperson of the Department of Computer Science
