Most teachers have education that fully corresponds to the specialty profile. Faculty members of the department are actively engaged in research, publish methodological materials and scientific articles, and participate in the development of theoretical and practical solutions in the field of software for automated information collection and processing systems.
Software engineering is a modern field covering all stages of software development: from requirements specification to maintenance of the finished system. It is one of the most promising and dynamic fields, with leading companies such as Google, Microsoft, Facebook.
In Ukraine and particularly in the Central region, dozens of IT companies operate successfully, fulfilling orders for state and international clients, providing professional development and high salaries.
Education in software engineering is a smart investment in your future.
Our students:
- study not only programming, but the entire software development cycle: from requirements analysis to project management;
- work in developer teams, test software, and ensure quality assurance;
- communicate with IT company managers and specialists who share practical experience and up-to-date knowledge.
From the 1st to the 5th year, students undergo industrial practice in real companies, which gives them:
- valuable work experience;
- professional contacts;
- better employment opportunities after graduation.
The department has 2 computer laboratories with modern equipment, multimedia classrooms, and 2 lecture halls.
Our students participate in olympiads, conferences, and the best ones in research work. Many continue their studies in postgraduate school.
Graduates of the department work in leading IT companies of the region, hold key positions in project teams, and successfully realize themselves as developers, analysts, testers, and IT project managers.
