IST has planned to support three first-year students of Faculty of Information Technology for the academic year 2021/22 for the realization of dual model of studies, which, in accordance of the Law for dual model of studies, enables free tuition for students who study and work on development projects of FIT (on jobs which are in line with their knowledge level and study programme), as well as to continue with such practice in the following academic years. By doing so, these students will acquire practical experience in software development and beside tuition fee, all students participating in the dual model will be paid additional. It is expected that students of dual model of studies employed by IST during their studies, would become fully employed in the company upon their graduation as software development engineers.
