On October 13th, 2023, a postgraduate course with the title "Retro-computing: technologies and digital art" will be launched at Rzeszow University of Technology. This would be the first study of such a profile in Poland and the world to our knowledge, covering the development of computer techniques and technologies, both in the historical and contemporary context, but emphasizing the involvement of study participants in the creative aspects of retrocomputing - from demoscene to gamedev. The study program includes platform studies and an overview of major Polish and world's computer platforms, demoscene, contemporary aspects of retrocomputing (new devices, auction market, legal aspects), as well as creative involvement of study participants through workshops on 8/16-bit platforms.
The study will last 2 semesters (there will be 11 sessions on weekends). The first semester will be dominated by "hard" aspects (hardware, programming, extensions) plus the history of computing, while the second semester will be more "soft" (games, demoscene, music, pixel-art). The cost of the study is 3000 PLN (ca. EUR 670). The study has support from the Polish Information Processing Society, Social Committee Chronicle of the Polish Demoscene, UBU Lab at Jagiellonian University and others.
The only prerequisite for students is that they must have a higher education - from bachelor's / engineer?s degree upwards - as required by Polish law. The studies will be conducted in Polish. For more information (in Polish) -
