At 1:00 AM today, the Dean of the School of Computing and IT (SCIT), together with Heads of Department and proud parents, warmly welcomed six students at Kanombe International Airport as they returned from a four-month international exchange program at Ostrava University, Czech Republic (Europe 🇪🇺) under the EU Erasmus+ Programme.
The returning students drawn from BBIT, BIT, and Computer Science arrived safely and performed exceptionally well throughout their exchange period. Their success reflects the strong academic preparation and global readiness fostered by the School of Computing and IT.
This cohort marks the fourth batch of SCIT students (alongside staff) to participate in the Ostrava University exchange, underscoring the School’s sustained commitment to internationalization, academic excellence, and global exposure. Building on this momentum, SCIT will send another six high-performing first-year students in the next cycle. Selection will begin in March 2026.
Further strengthening global collaboration, the School of Computing and IT (SCIT) and the School of Business and Management Economics (SBME) have applied for a new joint exchange project with Ostrava University, aimed at expanding both student and staff mobility opportunities.
In addition to European exchanges, SCIT continues to open global pathways through fully funded Master’s scholarships under BCDI Scholarship . Each year, the School supports two top overall performers one female and one male to pursue a fully funded Master’s degree in Cybersecurity at Concordia University of Edmonton, Canada.
These initiatives reaffirm SCIT’s vision to develop globally competitive graduates, foster cross-cultural learning, and provide transformative opportunities that prepare students for leadership in the digital economy.
