5 educational opportunities abroad for students and recent graduates

We continue to talk about educational opportunities for young IT professionals abroad. In today's material, we have collected several internships and academic programs in the Czech Republic, USA, Belgium and Finland.

Czech Government scholarships for citizens of developing countries
')
In order to receive financial support from the Czech government, it is not necessary to be a Czech citizen. Future students of undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate studies in any specialty with studies in the Czech language are offered scholarships in the amount of 14,000-15,000 CZK (520-550 euros) per month. For those who want to study in English there are several areas of the magistracy, including in the field of IT.

Facebook is looking for interns

A social network that does not need to be presented offers an internship as a software engineer. The trainee will have the opportunity to develop new and complement existing applications for the social network, simultaneously solving unique large-scale complex technical tasks. Would you like to write the code, and after a few days to see it in action on the site, where more than a billion users are registered?
Work begins June 30th and will be held in the United States. Facebook requires a full-time IT student with experience in C ++, Java, PHP or Python. The advantages will be experience, victories in programming contests, scientific publications.

Computer scientists are required in Belgium

The Free University of Brussels is recruiting students for an English-language Master's program “Applied Sciences and Engineering: Computer Science”. Its distinctive feature is a variety of specializations. A future master can choose from five areas: artificial intelligence, multimedia, software development, and web and information systems. Master's degree lasts two years, for admission you will need a diploma with education in the field of computer technology and confirmation of knowledge of the English language.

Master for gamers

For those who have completed their computer specialization with knowledge in the field of interactive media, the Finnish University in the city of Tampere offers a master's program "Internet and Game Studies". Students will focus on the analysis, design and application of online services and games from the user's point of view. The program will allow you to “pump” critical thinking, scientific writing skills and provide resources for conducting research in the field of Internet and games. What is particularly interesting is that the master's program is free even for citizens of the CIS, the period of study is 2 years.
