Undergraduate Programme Curriculum

Each course code has the form XYZ, where X represents the type of the course and Y the area which it belongs to. Courses offered for students of other Departments have, by default, type 0. Compulsory courses are of 1st, 2nd or 3rd type, restricted elective courses are of 4th type while the Diploma Project is of 4th type. Course areas have code 1 (Theory), 2 (Computer Systems), 3 (Troubleshooting) and 4 (Applications). General content courses have area code 0. The direction of Software Engineering has code 6 and the direction of Computer Systems and Networks has code 7. The General Direction has not gotten any code, since the courses are offered from other areas.

Below we cite the indicative programs offered by the Department since the academic year 2016/2017, as well as the courses linked with each specialisation.
