Computer Engineering UOLP
The Computer Engineering UOLP program is a four-year double-degree undergraduate program offered jointly by Marmara University and the International University of Sarajevo. In this program, students study the first two years in Sarajevo and complete the last two years in Istanbul, gaining academic and cultural experience in two different countries. The program provides a strong foundation in mathematics, programming, algorithms, computer hardware, and software engineering. From the very first semesters, students learn how computers work, how software is developed, and how engineering principles are used to create modern technological systems.
As students progress, they explore networks, databases, operating systems, data science, cybersecurity, and advanced programming concepts. The curriculum focuses on practical training as well as theory, allowing students to build real projects, use engineering tools, and work in teams. Studying in two international environments helps students develop adaptability, communication skills, and a global engineering perspective. This double-degree structure gives graduates a competitive advantage in both local and international job markets.
