Information Systems Technology

Computers and computer systems are everywhere – even where we don't expect them at all. 

This essential part of everyday life must be maintained by qualified specialists capable to assess users' needs as well as to design, implement and administer computer systems and networks, forsee development posibilities and ensure security.

The Information Systems Technology Study Programme implemented at Šiaulių valstybinė kolegija not only provides such a specialist necessary knowledge and skills, but also offers two specializations – Business Systems Technology or Design, Installation and Maintenance of Computer Networks. Which one could be yours?

Studies at Šiaulių valstybinė kolegija can be combined with work – both in full-time and part-time mode. Individual needs are acommodated on a case-by-case basis. The Šiaulių valstybinė kolegija offers flexible study schedule.

Why in Šiaulių valstybinė kolegija?

Students can choose one of two specializations. Students learn to administer computer networks and configure network operating systems by applying relevant standards and technologies when choosing Design, Installation and Maintenance of Computer Networks specialization.
 
When choosing Business Systems Technology students learn to implement and administer business systems by applying relevant standards, system life cycle stages and project management methods. Five practices are aimed to develop and strengthen skills.

Further possible career paths

Access to professional activity
