For a few years rapid changes in IT technology can be observed. After the "explosion" of the internet
applications, mobile devices and a new idea of computing - cloud computing have appeared. The
demand for professionals in these new areas had grown rapidly what generated a very difficult task for
higher education. As shown by numerous studies, higher education in the EU does not keep up with
generation of specialists in classical areas of computer science. Long cycle of new courses
preparation in universities combined with the long cycle of education (3-5 years) and fast development
of technology result in additional problems in this matter. Some sorts of solution to this situation are
post-graduate studies. Postgraduate studies "Mobile application development" meet the large demand
for designers and developers of mobile applications. They are addressed to practitioners - IT
specialists who have graduated many years ago. The main objective of the course is to provide new
competences to those people who could not acquire them during their university studies and who
intend to change the fields of professional activity. The program lasts two semesters and it is
implemented during the weekends. The work-load of students is 60 ECTS. Until now, two editions of
the course have been carried out. The article presents the objectives, target group and the course
program. Using a survey method, motivations to study of different groups of participants were
examined. The results of research allowed better adaptation the program to the market needs. The
range of adaptations has been presented in the article.
