Preparatory course in Informatics
OPEN REGISTRATION
Planned start date:
October 2026
Place of classes: Department of Computer Science, PJATK Gdańsk, Targ Drzewny 9/11, 80-894 Gdańsk.
The course preparing for the baccalaureate exam in Computer Science (extended level) at PJATK Gdansk is a comprehensive support for the high school graduate. Classes are taught by an academic lecturer from the Department of Computer Science, which is a guarantee of a high substantive level of classes. All our courses are held in intimate groups so that each person receives individual support from the instructor. The course will be implemented in a hybrid mode: meetings will be held stationary with simultaneous online connection - this means that the participant does not have to miss any classes in case of, for example, illness. The entire cycle consists of 22 meetings. Each meeting is as much as 3 didactic hours, allowing to explore each issue and solve more complex problems. The course will be conducted in the university building located in the very center of Gdansk, in modern equipped computer laboratories.
Silhouette of the presenter:
Eng. Marek Kudła - a graduate of the Gdansk branch of the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology, currently a lecturer at the Department of Computer Science of this university. His extensive knowledge of computer science and practical teaching experience allow him to effectively prepare students for the matriculation exam in this subject. He has high interpersonal skills and commitment to the teaching process, which translates into effective transfer of knowledge and motivation of course participants. For years, he has actively participated in national and international Hackathons, winning numerous awards with his teams. In addition to education, he is passionate about electronics and 3D printing, which inspires him to introduce modern and practical teaching methods. His goal is not only to impart knowledge, but also to develop problem-solving skills and creativity in students in order to best prepare them for the computer science matriculation exam.
