About the programme

The educational and professional programme “Information Control Systems and Technology” (ICST) at the second (Master's) level of higher education trains highly qualified specialists in computer science. It combines theoretical knowledge and practical skills for solving complex problems in developing, implementing and administering information control systems. Particular emphasis is placed on cloud computing, DevOps, automated knowledge base management, web-based system development and Agile methodologies.

Career prospects

Students gain a solid grounding in modern information technologies — cloud environments, automated management of knowledge bases and knowledge graphs, and building web-oriented platforms — together with practical skills in:

analysing large volumes of data;
designing the architecture of information control systems;
creating algorithms for applied problems in such systems;
research: data modelling, improving IT infrastructure and introducing new solutions.

The practical component is built around real projects. Graduates are ready to work for IT companies in Ukraine and worldwide as DevOps engineers, QA engineers, developers, data analysts and software architects.
