\n

The Department of Software (established September 22, 2002) is to build qualified national cadres able to meet labor market demands in software fields. It provides an educational and research environment that supports creativity and innovation, focusing on modern scientific and technological developments in designing and maintaining large, complex, high-quality software systems. The department aims to strengthen its academic position through programs that support the university and society, especially in software analysis, design, and implementation. It prepares students with modern knowledge and practical skills to develop integrated solutions for public and private institutions and to engage with related disciplines. The Department applies the Bologna system in the first three stages, following the Ministry\u2019s directives to align curricula with international standards. The fourth stage still uses the previous course system, ensuring a smooth transition toward full Bologna implementation in the coming years. It offers three postgraduate programmes: PhD, Master\u2019s, and Diploma. It focuses on advanced research fields that serve academic and industrial needs, publishing in Scopus and Clarivate, and encouraging collaboration between students and staff to produce applied research that benefits society and the labor market. The department has institutional accreditation and is progressing toward full national accreditation, confirming its commitment to quality and academic excellence.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
