Mapping Education to Industry Needs
For the design of our courses and curricula, we leverage the e-Competence Framework (e-CF) as a European standard. This ensures our programs equip students with the skills and knowledge required for specific ICT job profiles. We’ve developed a unique methodology for this mapping process, which is further detailed in the research paper titled “Evaluation of ICT Curricula using European e-Competence Framework” published in the “Computer Science and Education in Computer Science” journal.
