- additional free educational services (electives, trainings) with the involvement of specialists known in the world;
- implemented practice of project-oriented and informal training with leading IT companies;
- employment in the most prestigious and promising industry;
- unique opportunities to participate in international projects.
In return, we expect: responsible and hard work.
Learning outcome: 100% employment in the most modern, dynamic, non-corrupt, prestigious industry – the information technology industry
Make the right decision — study at one of the best IT departments of Ukraine!
The scientific and teaching staff of the department includes 9 doctors and 27 candidates of sciences, 10 professors and 21 associate professors, highly qualified teachers with practical experience in developing modern software systems and computer networks. Among the teachers of the department are honored inventors of Ukraine, laureates of the prize of the President and Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.
Practical training is carried out on the basis of modern laboratories of programming technologies, system software, network, web and cloud technologies, microprocessors and programmable logic, the Internet of things, information protection and industrial safety, mobile smart systems, as well as a critical computing center, Cisco Academy, laboratories EPAM, STM, etc.
Students studying at the department regularly participate and are winners of regional, Ukrainian and international competitions and competitions in programming and computer systems, have grants from national and world funds, IT companies.
The scientists of the department, together with graduate students and students, carry out theoretical research and practical development in the field of reliable and safe software systems and computer networks for critical and commercial applications, regularly participate in international conferences, European projects, and startup competitions.
The department runs an interdisciplinary scientific and technical seminar “Critical Computer Technologies and Systems”, and intensive training is being conducted for candidates (PhD) and doctors (DRS) of sciences.
The department has close scientific and technical ties with more than 30 high-tech enterprises in Kharkov, Ukraine, Great Britain, the USA, Germany, Sweden and other countries, participates in real projects in the field of developing software systems, computer technologies for the aerospace, energy industries, banking, medicine etc.
Teachers, graduate students and students of the department undergo internships at the universities of London, Newcastle, Leeds (England), Naples, Pisa (Italy), Stockholm (Sweden), New York, North Carolina (USA), etc.
According to the reviews of firms and organizations where our graduates work (in more than 15 countries), it can be argued that the department and university provide high fundamental, professionally oriented and special training.
This allows them to successfully solve practical problems in one of the most dynamic information technology markets already at the senior courses and after graduation.
The development of computer technology in the 60s and its introduction in all sectors of the national economy, including aerospace science and production, in September 1962 led to the objective need to create a general education department at the Kharkov Aviation Institute “Computing Engineering and Pulse Devices “.
The first staff of the department consisted of 6 teachers: the head of the department was Ivan Nikitovich Kornet, assistants Vyacheslav Alekseevich Popov, Victor Kuzmich Palagin, Nikolai Timofeevich Bereziuk (all graduated from KhAI in September 1962), Igor Vladimirovich Baryshev, Vladimir Ivanovich Lutsenko. The training and support staff consisted of the head of the training laboratories Konstantin Ivanovich Kirilenko, the training master Mosiy Makarovich Klimchuk, engineer Nikolai Petrovich Ozersky, laboratory assistants: Lidia Spiridonovna Blinovskaya, Igor Vladimirovich Kostin, Fedor Mikhailovich Nikhotin, Anatoly Grigoryevich Gerasenko.
In 1963, Ural-1, one of the first electronic computers in the USSR, was transferred to the department at a speed of 100 operations per second.
In 1964, the department was replenished with young teachers: Valery Borisovich Sharonov, Klaid Konstantinovich Furmanov, Nikolai Grigoryevich Korobkov, and since 1967 – assistants: Vladimir Ivanovich Gordienko, Yuri Ivanovich Yalinich, Victor Dmitrievich Bliznyuk, Petr Dmitrievich Danilchenko.
Since 1982, the department was renamed the Department of Electronic Computing Machines and Systems and becomes a graduate in the preparation of specialists in computer specialties.
A qualitative change and expansion of the areas of specialist training in the 80s and early 90s were organically associated with the development of computer systems, local and global networks.
Since 1990, the department was renamed the Department of Computer Systems of Aircraft and begins training in the specialty of specialized computer systems.
In 1999, the department began training in the specialty of computer systems and networks.
Since 2002, the department has been renamed the Department of Computer Systems and Networks.
Since 2004, the training of specialists in the field of system programming has begun.
Since 2001, the department was headed by the Honored Inventor of Ukraine, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor
Head of the Department of Guaranteed Systems and Technologies of the International Academy of Sciences of Applied Radio Electronics.
From 1977 to 2000 The department was headed by the Honored Worker of Science and Technology, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor
From 1977 to 1981 – Dean of the Faculty of Radio Engineering. From 1981 to 1983 – Vice Rector for Research. From 1983 to 1998 – Rector of the Kharkov Aviation Institute.
From 1962 to 1977 The department was headed by the Dean of the Faculty of Radio Engineering, Ph.D., Associate Professor
