Faculty of Applied Informatics

Information Technologies

Educational goals

The academically focused study program "Information Technologies " aims to prepare experts in the fields of Software Engineering and Cyber Security within two specific specializations. The everyday basis of specializations is characterized by knowledge from artificial intelligence, mobile technologies, intelligent networks, parallel programming, mathematical statistics, the architecture of modern processors, and logic circuits. The graduate can implement software solutions, evaluate and analyze key processes and actively intervene in them in accordance with the required goals. The graduate of the specialization Software Engineering can design, model, assemble and implement software projects with the help of modern advanced methods and techniques. These solutions can also assess, test, and, after deployment in production, maintain their functionality throughout their life cycle. The graduate of the Cyber Security specialization can use cryptographic methods to protect knowledge and data, test security from simple applications to large-scale and system solutions, analyze malicious software, design, model, test, build and implement secure solutions.
