1. Redesign of the undergraduate curricula in Skopje K. Zdravkova keti@ii.edu.mk

2. Objectives to introduce new curricula Current curricula were slightly out of date Teaching staff is overloaded with many courses Many students prematurely terminated their studies due to theoretical courses and… Famous Bologna declaration

3. Brief preview of current curricula Started in 2000/2001 Outcomes: better results, shorter studies The duration of all curricula was 4 years, with 30 lecture hours per week Educational informatics Applied informatics: system enginnering; applicative engineering; information systems Industrial Mathematics (only 1 student)

11. 4-year studies leading to diploma in Informatics (Computing) Education and e-learning (20) Informatics for primary school (20) Computer Science (20 + 10) Software Engineering (real :-) (20 + 10) Information Systems (30 + 15) Computer Architecture and Nets (30 + 15)

12. 3-year studies leading to diploma in Information Technologies Intended for prospective IT and ICT professionals Intended also for current students who work as software developers or system administrators Internet and Mobile Technologies (50 DL) Computer Networks Administration (50 DL)

20. But, … Still many available places for new students on 4-year, and particularly on 3-year studies Bad advertising (we all miss marketing course ) Strong anti 3-year studies propaganda Many new private universities that offer computing studies Private universities in Greece and Bulgaria offer computer science studies
