Abstract: The paper presents the case study of the curriculum "Computer Systems" which is taught at the master level in the Institute of Applied Computer Systems of Riga Technical University. The study is carried out with the goal to evaluate opportunities for the short-time mobility of students. The main problems related to the provision of student mobility are discussed in brief. Positive impact of curricula modularity on mobility is pointed out. The curriculum "Computer Systems" is analyzed using a concept of two-dimensional modularity. Results of the comparison of the curriculum "Computer Systems" with similar curricula of other countries of the European Union at levels of courses, their groups and modules are presented
Keywords: Higher engineering education, Curricula modularity, Short-term mobility of students
