The main goal of the undergraduate program is to prepare scientists, qualified of developing the ICT sector, to be ready to participate in all kinds of financial and social activities. Moreover, emphasis has been given to the theoretical aspect of this science so the students are able, after their graduation, to cope with the rapid scientific and technological changes in Informatics.
 
The main objective of the bachelor program is Computer Science, in addition to its extensions in the fields of Economics and Management. Thus, a variety of courses ie. Computer Networks and Database Systems promote the knowledge in this field.
