Department of Computing, Imperial College, 180 Queens Gate, London SW7 2BZ, UK
This paper presents a guide to, and comparative analysis of, computing curricula in the European Community (EC). The guide consists of a detailed account of the computing curricula taken from selected university institutions in each country of the EC. A comparative analysis is given which examines: the conformance of these curricula to standard models; the principal dimensions of variation among the curricula; and draws attention to some important features. This guide is intended: to assist curriculum developers; as an overview of the structure and organization of European education programmes for computing professionals; to provide a basis for educational convergence within the European Community.
