Courses Catalog
ECTS Information Package

Fields of study:

• Information Technology – first-cycle BSc Eng degree studies

• Graphic design – first-cycle BSc degree studies

• Information Technology – second-cycle MSc degree studies

The mission of the Institute of Information Technologies is to educate IT engineers and graphic designers in accordance with the highest educational standards, based on programs adapted to the dynamically changing needs of the national and European market.

Excellent faculty and helpful administrative staff, coupled with state-of-the-art infrastructure and teaching program facilitates development of practical professional skills for people of any ages. Thanks to the EU funding, it offers attractive opportunities to acquire new and valued professional qualifications by providing studies at various levels.

ECTS credits – preliminary information

ECTS is a system facilitating acknowldgement of courses completed by a student at a foreign institution of higher education by its home university. The ECTS system was developed in the second half of the 80s as part of the Erasmus Program. Since then, the ECTS system has been implemented by an increasing number of European universities, and the widest application of the system is observed in universities participating in the Erasmus+ students exchange program.

ECTS is a credit system designed to make it easier for students to move between different countries. Since they are based on the learning achievements and workload of a course, a student can transfer their ECTS credits from one university to another. It is based on the transparency of the study program and the rules for passing classes. Recognition of a period of study is one of the basic conditions of travels under the Erasmus+ program. This means that courses taken while studying abroad (including exams or other forms of assessment) replace comparable courses at the home university. The ECTS system itself does not regulate the content, structure or equivalence of study programs, because these are issues related to the quality of education which the ECTS system does not deal with.

Assigning ECTS credit points to courses is based on the student's workload needed to reach the course goals.

Thanks to the implementation of the 4.1.1 "Knowledge and practice - university support and first-cycle studies in Graphic Design, WSTI development program in Katowice" project co-financed from the European Social Fund under the Human Capital Operational Program, Katowice Institute of Information Technologies purchased 5 Sennheiser portable FM systems to help people with hearing impairments.

Each system consists of a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitters were placed in selected lecture rooms.

Visually impaired students can use the WSTI Reading Room equipped with LunarPlus – a program for the visually impaired people, for whom a simple view enlargement is not enough. It has all the features of the Lunar program, but in addition to the zoom function, it has a simple screen reading program that serves as an auxiliary function. Lunar Plus helps users in two ways: the visually impaired users may read from the screen, but if after some time they feel tired, or when they want to read a longer document, they can use the screen reading function. The program allows the reading of documents by people with various sight impairments, in addition, each enlarged element is smoothed, which improves the efficiency of work.
