Education

Qt is dedicated to promoting efficient and creative programming by supporting educational institutions to use Qt for their teaching curricula.

Many educational institutions around the world use Qt to teach subjects ranging from basic programming and GUI development on PCs, to research projects for the mobile industry and embedded systems programming of robots.

We would like to see Qt used in even more educational institutions, and get Qt into high education curricula around the world. By learning Qt, students will be well prepared for the competitive job market by being competent in an application framework that tens of thousands of companies have chosen as their defacto development framework.

The "Qt in Education" track at Qt Developer Days will highlight the benefits of using Qt for higher-education teaching. We will present the tools and teaching materials we will offer to support the teaching of Qt in educational institutions, hear professors talk about how Qt is used in their university curricula, as well as their recommendations to other educational institutions who would like to do the same.

Universities on Qt

"I have been using Qt as a part of our introductory and intermediate level programming courses as a good graphical environment to build interesting programs. Qt has proven to be an easy-to-use and hassle free tool for our beginner students to build creative programs."

Jagath Samarabandu, Associate Professor, University of Western Ontario, Canada

"I'm teaching a graduate/master program course in Geometric Algorithms and have adopted Qt as a unique GUI tool for projects developed by students for their Master and PhD thesis. In addition, I'm trying to promote the adoption of C++ and Qt in the undergraduate courses and hope to have it widely used in different courses in the future."

Enrico Puppo, Professor of Computer Science, University of Genoa,  Italy
