Entrance Exam Description
During the selection process we examine the competency of the applicant in two ways:
The faculty decides about the eligibility of the applicant by examining the documents of previous studies (degree, subject, results). This is followed by an entrance exams that evaluate the level of study-language and basic subjects depends on speciality.
The exams can be conducted online. In order to validate the entrant’s person, exams taken remotely are recorded on video, as is the person verification process. The recording is archived for at least five years on University’s grounds and the link to that recording is available in the united base of Ministry of Education of Ukraine.
Program Structure
Semester 1 — Foundations & Core IT-Design Skills
- Design of Databases and Expert Systems — learn how to build databases and systems that support decision-making and store/handle complex data.
- Organisation of Information and Computing Processes and Systems — you study how computing systems and workflows are organised; how data and processes flow in complex systems.
- Basics of Scientific Research & Methodology — gain skills to do rigorous analysis, research and documentation — useful for complex system design or research work.
- Mathematical Foundations of Automated Design — build strong mathematical and algorithmic background needed for modelling, design and automation tasks.
Semester 2 — Advanced Design Concepts & System Architecture
- Theory and Technology of Design — you learn methods and technologies to design complex IT systems or software architecture.
- Design of Systems and Complexes of Information Technology — you practice designing full-scale IT systems — combining software, databases, expert systems, workflows — like a real project.
- Optional / Selected Subjects — depending on interest, you can choose from specialized courses like programming for programmable logic structures, real-time systems, software-hardware platforms for adaptive systems, signal/image processing systems, or virtual design systems.
Semester 3 — Specialization & Master’s Thesis / Final Project
- Specialized Elective Topics & Technology Special-Design Planning — courses like ARM- and hardware-oriented design, system-level automation tools, or modern IT-technologies depending on interest.
- Final Qualification Work (Master’s Thesis / Project) — you complete a significant design, development or research project: e.g., building an information system, expert system, database, or software/IT solution.
Overview
The program trains you to design, plan and build modern information-technology systems, software, and complex IT solutions. You learn both theoretical and practical skills: how to analyse needs, design system architecture, build databases and expert systems, and manage full-cycle information system projects. The programme prepares you to become a “computer system analyst” or IT-design specialist — with knowledge valuable for many industries. The curriculum aims to give you strong abilities in automated design of complex objects and systems using modern computer technologies.
Career Opportunities
After graduation you may work as a software or systems designer/analyst, database or expert-system developer, IT project manager, or consultant for information-system design and implementation. You could join companies in software development, IT services, data management, automation, or business process digitization. You can also work in research, design, or innovation — developing new software / IT-systems, working on expert systems, complex databases or automated design tools. Because the skills are general and in demand, you can work in many industries: IT, aviation, engineering, business — anywhere where robust information systems are needed.
