DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATICS - Socrates/Erasmus Information
Degree Programmes
Undergraduate Courses
The Department of Informatics offers two different five-year undergraduate courses:
- Computer Science and Systems Engineering (LESI)
- This course has gained wide recognition in the country. It is considered to be a one of a kind degree,
enabling the LESI graduates to adopt a systems perspective in the analysis,
design, management and optimisation of engineering solutions. The encompassed
systems range from software specification, multimedia, distributed,
information, communications to architectures and digital design systems. The
course is structured to allow the students to strengthen their knowledge in
areas of their choosing.

- Mathematics and Computer Science (LMCC)
- This course, run jointly with the
Department of Mathematics (School of Science), belongs to a modern brand of
Computer Science curricula, paving the way to sound software development
techniques based on formal methods. Helped by laboratorial experience and contact
with the most recent technologies, the graduate of LMCC is capable of
specifying, documenting and implementing software of high standard.

The Department contributes to other courses in Engineering, Sciences,
Economics and Social Sciences, offered by other departments of the University.
Postgraduate Degrees in the Department of Informatics
There are three kinds of postgraduate courses:
- 1 - Doctorate
- Such courses are open to students
holding master's degrees and those who gained a final mark of 16 or more in
their first degree. Doctorates usually take three or four years and may include
some lectures. The course plan is normally designed on an individual basis.
- 2 - Master's degrees
- Such courses are open to students
who gained a final mark of 14 or more in their first degree. They include
lecture courses (normally 2 semester) followed by a dissertation (two
semesters).
