Consultations every week
Study IT with a dragon on your side
Become the next Zmaj of technology
Zmaj University is a compact, project-oriented faculty where you don’t just memorize slides - you ship real code, work on real systems and leave with a portfolio that actually impresses employers.
Modern web & mobile development
Real information systems & databases
Close contact with professors
No marketing fluff: what you see in the portal is the kind of project you will actually build as a student at Zmaj University.
From exam to real project
Every big course includes a project that can become part of your portfolio.
PHP / MySQL / JS
REST APIs
Security basics
Faculty web system
The portal you are about to open - exams, courses, statistics - is written
exactly in the style of our student projects.
Why Zmaj University?
Designed for students who want to build, not just pass.
You don’t need a giant campus to get a serious IT education. What you need is modern curriculum, access to mentors and a place where your projects actually matter.
Modern tech stack
From web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP/MySQL) to security, networks and databases - you constantly work with tools used in real companies.
You’ll recognize course topics in job ads.
Project-based learning
Most courses end with a concrete project: an information system, a mobile app, a 3D model or an embedded prototype. Every semester leaves something new on your GitHub.
Seminars, labs and exams connect into bigger systems.
Approachable professors
Smaller groups and professors who actually reply to e-mails, Teams and questions after class make it easier to stay on track and ask when you’re stuck.
You’re not just index number “S001”.
Balanced theory & practice
You’ll know how to explain terms like 3-tier architecture and normalization, but you’ll also know how to actually implement them in code.
Good for master studies and industry.
Integrated systems view
Courses like Web Programming, Databases and Application Security are built around larger systems so you learn how backend, frontend and database talk to each other.
You see the whole picture, not just isolated tasks.
Space for your projects
Want to build your own game, website or startup idea on the side? Professors often allow you to align course projects with your personal interests.
Your side projects can also earn grades.
Your journey
From first login to first job interview.
A typical Zmaj student quickly gets used to our information system. You track courses, register exams, see statistics and slowly build that feeling of “this is my faculty”.
What does a typical semester feel like?
- Follow lectures and labs where you see live coding, database diagrams and real examples.
- Use the faculty web system to enroll into courses, track announcements and register for exam periods.
- Work on one or two larger course projects - often with teammates - and present them to the professor.
- Collect grades, update your CV / portfolio and slowly prepare for junior positions or internships.
1. Discover
You open this page, explore the demo portal and realize that this
is exactly the type of system you’d like to know how to build.
2. Enroll & integrate
After enrolling, you receive your student account, index number and
access to the real faculty information system, Teams, e-mail and labs.
3. Build & present
Every semester you deliver concrete projects - web applications,
dashboards, diagrams - and present them to professors and classmates.
4. Apply & grow
With finished projects and strong fundamentals, you start sending
CVs knowing that your portfolio shows real skills, not just course names.
By the numbers
Small faculty, big impact.
The exact numbers change every year, but the idea stays the same: groups are small enough that professors recognize students by name, and every generation ships impressive projects.
