Dear entrants, students of higher education, parents, graduates, colleagues and friends!
I sincerely welcome you on the website of the Department of Software Systems and Technologies of the Faculty of Information Technologies of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv.
The world is developing today thanks to people who know how to create complex software systems. It is software that underpins artificial intelligence, cloud services, financial platforms, medical technology, cybersecurity, defense solutions, e-governance, mobile applications, robotics, computer vision, and other digital products used by millions of people every day.
Therefore, software engineering is much more than the ability to "write code". This is the ability to think systematically, design reliable software solutions, work with data, create an architecture of complex systems, check quality, ensure safety, work in a team and be responsible for the result. This is a profession for those who want not just to use technology, but to create it.
The Department of Software Systems and Technologies trains such specialists.
We combine fundamental university education, modern engineering training and practical orientation to the needs of the IT industry.Our higher education students study programming, algorithms, data structures, databases, operating systems, software architecture, testing, quality of software systems, web technologies, parallel programming, program and data protection, intelligent technologies, machine learning and other areas that form a modern software engineer.
We strive to ensure that the graduate of the department is not just a performer of technical tasks, but a specialist who is able to see the software product holistically: from the idea and analysis of requirements to design, implementation, testing, implementation, maintenance and development.
The competitive advantage of our department is a combination of science, education and practice. The department has its own scientific schools, develops research in the field of intelligent systems, mathematical modeling, software engineering, data analysis, computer vision, secure software and advanced digital technologies.Applicants for higher education have the opportunity to join scientific and applied projects, participate in competitions, hackathons, seminars, conferences and create their own professional portfolio during their studies.
For an entrant, the choice of the department is the choice of the educational environment. We are well aware that the university must not only transmit knowledge, but also form thinking, character, responsibility and the ability to learn throughout life.It is these qualities that determine a successful IT specialist in today's world, where technologies change very quickly, and the real value is not random skills, but fundamental training, engineering culture and the ability to solve complex problems.
Higher education students get the opportunity to build their own development path by choosing specific areas of software engineering – software development, artificial intelligence and data analysis, cybersecurity, cloud technologies, system architecture, testing, IT project management.All specializations of the department are aimed at helping a higher education applicant to find his/her direction, unlock potential and take the first confident steps towards a professional career.
We cooperate fruitfully with IT companies, employers, graduates and international partners. Practical training, meetings with specialists, participation in real projects, internships, career consultations and international educational opportunities help higher education students to better understand the profession and prepare for work in the modern technological environment.
Graduates of the department work in Ukrainian and international IT companies, develop their own startups, participate in research projects, build an academic career in Ukraine and abroad. It is important for us that they remain part of the department community, share their experience with higher education students and confirm that quality education opens the door to a significant number of professional opportunities.
I would especially like to address the entrants to the Bachelor's degree program.
If you are interested in how digital systems work, want to create products that people use, you are attracted to programming, artificial intelligence, data, web technologies, cybersecurity, engineering tasks and teamwork – the Department of Software Systems and Technologies can become a place for you to start your career.
Here you will get not only knowledge, but also an environment for development, you will be able to ask questions, look for solutions, work on projects, make mistakes, improve, grow and gradually turn interest in IT into a real profession.
Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv is a space of traditions, academic strength and responsibility to the future, and the Department of Software Systems and Technologies of the Faculty of Information Technology is a place where these traditions are combined with the dynamics of the modern digital era.
We invite you to join the community of those who are not afraid of complex tasks, think a few steps ahead and want to create technologies that change the world.
Choose development!
Choose software engineering!
Choose a future you can create with your own hands!
Yours sincerely
Oleksiy BYCHKOV
