Computer Engineering UOLP
The Computer Engineering UOLP programme at Istanbul Technical University and International University of Sarajevo offers a cross-border education opportunity. Students study at ITU in Istanbul and spend part of their time at IUS in Sarajevo, gaining exposure to different academic environments and cultures. This programme aims to develop strong software and system engineering skills, combining theoretical courses and practical labs throughout the four-year bachelor degree. Students learn programming, computer architecture, networks, algorithms, and system design, preparing them for global technology careers.
Studying in two countries also helps students gain international perspective and adaptability. Through courses in Istanbul and Sarajevo, students see how different educational traditions and industry demands shape engineering education. The dual-institution structure builds flexibility, cross-cultural communication skills and readiness for global projects. At the end of the programme, graduates receive a B.Sc. in Computer Engineering (English), equipped to work in international teams and adapt to global standards.
