Designing Mobile Applications
Engineer
Computer Science (Informatics)
Why You should choose this study programme
Mobile applications are increasingly used in various aspects of life and are an integral part of mobile devices: phone, tablet, smartphone, iPhone, iPad. The applications are used, among others. to communicate via the Internet, perform advanced financial operations, provide information and entertainment, and make purchases.
Currently, most apps are developed for Apple’s iOS devices (iPhone and iPad apps) and Google’s Android. Mobile apps are the fastest growing software market right now. Extremely importantly, within this specialization, we present different ways to develop mobile applications, from native to hybrid to progressive.
What You can do after this study programme
The mobile application sector is still the most rapidly growing area in the IT industry. The number of mobile applications available to users has already reached millions and is growing steadily - as is the use of mobile devices for work or entertainment. Therefore, the demand for specialists in this field is growing every year. You can work in virtually any application development company, and you'll also be a valuable member of IT teams in technology start-ups as well as in the IT departments of companies in various industries. You can also build your career as an independent professional.

New requirements for visa applications
Note: important information for bachelor’s degree candidates (first-cycle studies)
In line with the new requirements for visa applications introduced by Polish consulates around the world, candidates applying for a student visa are now required to submit a document confirming their eligibility to apply for a bachelor’s degree (first-cycle studies), issued by the Polish Education Superintendent Office (in Polish – Kuratorium Oświaty). Previously, this document could be provided after arrival in Poland, but under the new regulations, it must be submitted along with the visa application. The procedure for master’s degree candidates remains unchanged.
While the new requirement may slightly extend the visa process, the UEHS is fully prepared to support bachelor’s degree candidates throughout this period. To ensure there are no disruptions to their education, candidates who cannot arrive in Poland before the start of classes will be able to participate in lectures online via MS Teams.
We also have developed a range of effective solutions to provide comprehensive assistance in obtaining the required documents. Our support includes:
- preparing the necessary paperwork
- certified translations into Polish
- submitting the application to the Education Superintendent Office
- promptly ensuring the recognized diploma is sent back to the candidate’s home country.

Second year of study
In the second year, subjects concentrating on the chosen field of study are introduced into the programme. They enable students to deepen their knowledge and acquire competences necessary for understanding and practical use of IT knowledge in various spheres of professional activity. Specialist subjects in Designing mobile application are also introduced from semester 4.
Web applications
Whether you want to work in a startup, a software house, or a corporation, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to develop web applications in IT. This kind of work is in fact divided into two main roles – frontend, that is work on the visual layer, implementation of graphic layouts and coordination of application behavior, and backend – activities “behind the scenes”, in the server part, where the main role is played by efficient data processing, ensuring security and scalability of created applications.
Project management and user experience
Working in the IT sector is not just about programming and technology! It is difficult to imagine effective implementation of IT projects without an effective- Project Manager. And even the best programmers won’t create a great application if it is prepared by proper understanding of users’ needs – and this is what UX/UI designer does. If you want to work in IT, and at the same time you feel great working with people – this specialization is for You!
