UL study programme “Computer Science” upholds tradition and once again is named the most recommended study programme by employers

Dean of the Faculty of Computing, Professor Zane Bičevska: “Achieving the status of the study programme most recommended by employers is the highest award that a higher education institution can receive, and we are very proud and honoured that employers of Latvia have considered our bachelor's programme in computer science to be the best in Latvia for the sixth consecutive year. This motivates us toward ever higher aspirations. We are happy for all our graduates who enrich Latvia's IT industry and contribute to the development of our country.”
