In many European institutions, a Bachelor’s degree takes three years to complete rather than the four years that students from some other regions might expect. This isn’t a shortcut — it’s the product of a long-standing academic tradition and a robust educational foundation. European students often arrive in higher education having already specialised in their chosen fields during their final years of secondary school. As a result, the university curriculum may focus more directly on advanced, career-relevant content right from the start.
At DSTI, our three-year Bachelor of Science in Computer Science & Engineering programme is meticulously crafted to ensure that students —no matter where they come from— benefit from a world-class education that is both rigorous and future-focused, with all necessary foundation classes in year 1. 100% of the dense coursework is delivered in English, fostering a truly international atmosphere where students and faculty from diverse backgrounds learn and collaborate together. Each year of study builds on the previous, offering a rich blend of theoretical foundations, cutting-edge technological skills, and hands-on project work that prepares graduates to thrive in a global tech industry.
Completing a three-year European bachelor’s degree doesn’t mean compromising on quality or opportunities. In fact, our graduates are highly valued by employers and well prepared for advanced studies around the world. With DSTI Bachelor of Science in Computer Science & Engineering, international students gain a solid professional footing, a recognised credential, and the confidence that comes from succeeding in a respected educational tradition—no matter where their journey takes them next.
