Opinions about the field of study

“Information Technology is a field that relentlessly enters new areas of our lives. Until recently, computers were the most important. Today, phones, watches and toothbrushes have microprocessors built in. Programming these devices and creating their global, intelligent network is a future that will be hard to avoid. Being a CDV lecturer and a businessman at the same time, I try to pass on not only my knowledge, but also share my experience resulting from the projects I create and cooperation with large companies from Germany and Japan. Rapid response to changing market needs has always been the domain of CDV.”

Adam Czajka, BEng, PhD

Chief technology officer at di Support GmbH and operational director at di Support PL. Member of the Polish IT Society and the American ACM (Association for Computer Machinery). He was a mentor for start-ups during the "IBM SmartCamp 2014" - IBM Global Entrepreneur Program. He participated in the creation of the human eye movement registration system of the Swedish company Permobil Meditech AB and the audience survey system produced by the German company MediaScore GmbH.

“I want to be a programmer and work with technologies related to medicine or science in general.”

Julia Gula

Student of Information Technology at Collegium Da Vinci

“Games aren't just entertainment - they're an important part of our culture. They have been with me since I can remember. From an early age, my cousins involved me in role-playing, board and video games; it was the games that helped me to develop my creativity”

Sara Raczak

Games enthusiast, student of Information Technology

“I like to have discussions with my students, insert real life examples, solve problems with them or create them by setting difficult questions or challenges. I would like them to realize that you can have fun and like what you do, not only when you do what you like.”

Robert J. Tomczak, BEng, PhD

Lecturer at CDV, former Dean of the faculty: Information Technology and Visual Communication

“It is difficult to find an IT graduate who does not work in IT (unless he himself chose a different path, a different profession). Information Technology is one of the most dynamically developing fields. The reason is, of course, the rapidly changing technology, which brings us some new products almost every day. Thanks to this, students can develop their interests in an unlimited way. In a word, IT is the future. The modern world does not exist without information technology - we have it everywhere - at home, at work, on the street, on the bus or train. This means that an IT specialist will always have something to do and - what's more - he will be able to choose the area that interests him most.”
