Graduate students of the Computer Science program can be employed in a variety of organizations related and pursue their professional careers in the fields of:

Systems and Software Engineering

Graduates of the program will have fundamental knowledge and technical skills to program hardware devices and electronic components of digital systems using the low-level programming languages. Graduates of the program will be able to perform comprehensive tests of the programmed devices and ensure that hardware is functioning according to the systems requirements.

Graduates of the program will gain sufficient knowledge and skills to create software platforms and programs for computers, mobile devices and web. Graduates will be able to develop, maintain, test and deliver software programs for their integration and implementation in computer-based systems.

Computer Systems and Database Management, Operations and Administration

Acquired knowledge and technical skills make it possible for graduates of the program to manage IT infrastructure, software systems and services in a small, medium or large-scale organization. Management of IT and computer systems means continuous follow up of the quality of IT services and systems functioning, proper assessment of new products that are required from business to be deployed, corresponding security audit of IT infrastructure and identification of threads and possible weaknesses of the organization’s IT systems and infrastructure. This position requires efficient communication and interpersonal skills that will be developed during the courses of the program.

Graduates of the program will have sufficient fundamental knowledge as well as analytical and problem-solving skills to analyze and evaluate the data needs and system requirements for users and organizations. Database and systems administrators develop and scale corresponding infrastructure and resources to store and provide valuable information in the optimized and efficient way. Systems administrators are responsible for proper configuration of access control mechanisms to different systems and provisioning of central managed systems for user authentication, authorization, file sharing, email, web and application integration and work. Skills and knowledge gained during the program courses, will help future database and systems administrators and operators to correct malfunctions in databases and modify systems according to the needs of horizontal or vertical scaling.

Data Engineering and Data Science

Nowadays data has a key value in decision making and further planning of almost all fields related to business, science, health, transportation, logistics and other spheres of human life and social activities. Processing and analysis of data, extraction of information and new knowledge out of it are the key skills, which are required for almost all areas of industry, science or medicine. Graduates of the program will gain corresponding knowledge in mathematics, probability theory and statistics as well as in various fields of computer science to become a successful and competent Data Science or Data Engineering. These professionals statistically analyze and model data about various processes and their dynamics, which makes it possible to understand certain facts better and even predict events in the near and long term future. The graduates of the program can pursue their academic studies at a master level.
