Department of System Analysis and Information Technology
The department consists of professionals, each of whom is committed not only to preparing excellent information technology specialists (system analysts, cyber security experts, programmers) but also to give a love for science and scientific discoveries.
A system analyst is one of the most popular professions today, based on IT technologies and mathematical modeling. Thanks to their training program, a specialist is able to solve high-level problems and tasks in any field of human activity. Department teachers provide the necessary knowledge and conditions for the development of professional skills in order to educate excellent analysts, developers, and testers.
Future cyber security specialists study the latest methods and tools for protecting software from unauthorized access and destructive software influences, protecting information in information and communication networks and systems, modern operating systems, and acquiring skills in algorithmization and programming that enable them to solve practical tasks in organizing cyber security.
Young people who master computer science can perform professional activities in designing, creating and operating information systems, creating application software, and information management after graduation.
Students constantly win prizes at various competitions and Olympiads. In addition, they have the opportunity to work in a modern laboratory and use modern software that is necessary for them to obtain professional learning outcomes.
- System Analysis Laboratory;
- Information and Cyber Security Laboratory.
Practicing experts with experience in commercial development of information technology and software applications, cyber security provision at enterprises are actively involved in lectures, practical and laboratory classes.
Training is provided according to the educational program, which is compiled in accordance with the requirements of higher education standards, the competencies of partner companies and the innovative content of education. All this is implemented in the educational process through the compilation of a structural-logical scheme, a curriculum, working curricula for the current year.
Students acquire practical skills during annual practice at industrial, financial and other enterprises where there are analytical or information and technical departments or information protection units.
Over the past five years, department teachers have published about 200 scientific works that are included in the most authoritative international databases (Scopus, Web of Science), which are actively cited by the international scientific community, and have received several patents for utility models. Department employees make a significant contribution to raising the scientific rating of Mariupol State University.
During the organization of student scientific activities, the following areas of research work are used:
- Fulfillment of tasks by graduate students within certain academic disciplines related to the analysis of relevant scientific sources and regulatory framework in the field of information technology, writing abstracts and scientific articles, preparing presentations and scientific reports, etc.
- Participation of students in the annual Decade of Student Science at MSU with the publication of abstracts in a collection of scientific works. The Department of System Analysis and Information Technology conducts a section meeting on "Mathematical Methods, Information Technologies in Education, Science, Economics and Production".
- Participation of students in scientific round tables on cybersecurity issues and current problems of researching complex systems of different nature.
- Participation in All-Ukrainian and International scientific and practical conferences under the guidance of department teachers.
- Participation of graduate students in research on individual topics with department teachers during the educational process, writing term papers and qualification works, which result in individual and joint scientific publications.
