Social Sciences and Computing - Master study program review

Abstract

The graduate study program Social Sciences and Computing at the University of Belgrade is developed as part of the Tempus project INCOMING (Interdisciplinary Curricula in Computing to Meet Labor Market Needs, project No. 530155-TEMPUS-1-2012-1-EE-TEMPUS-JPCR). The program is designed as a continuation of undergraduate studies in a field of the broad study area of social sciences (economics, sociology, psychology, law, finance, management, languages, and so on, or a combination of some of these fields), but with a focus on application of modern computer technology in these fields.

Studying in this study program assumes that the students have already acquired some knowledge in a subset of these social sciences. It is also understood that students already have a basic knowledge of computer technology and they are familiar with the basics of using computers and the Internet. Through the graduate study program Social Sciences and Computing, students are introduced to some of the more advanced techniques of using computers and the Internet, but always through application in a selected field of social sciences. A wide variety of courses offered allows each student to focus on the social science(s) that she/he is most interested in.
