History and Structure

The Faculty is closely connected with the development of the whole Academy. Understanding the importance of using computer technologies in modern information society, NaUKMA administration has been paying particular attention to the University's computerization. The University Computer Center was created when the reopened University was making its first steps. If to speak about the Faculty itself firstly it existed as a special unit which included Department of Informatics and Department of Mathematics, as well as of the above mentioned University Computer Center. In September 2000 the unit was reorganized into the Faculty of Computer Sciences. Nowadays, the Faculty includes four departments: of Computer Science, Mathematics, Network Technologies, Multimedia, as well as of the Computer Science Laboratory. The Faculty offers degrees in Computer Science (Bachelor level), Information Control Systems and Technologies (Specialist and Master levels) and Intellectual Systems of Decision Making (Master level) and Web-design (Certificate program).

Faculty Peculiarities

• The Faculty programs have a profound laboratory component. Therefore it is running 10 computer classes, which are serving both as labs for computer majoring students to practice and utilize theoretical principles they are learning in the classrooms, and as an open access to computers and internet for the whole NaUKMA student body.

• The Faculty departments collaborate with many foreign universities, among which is Higher Technical University (Leipzig, Germany), Technical University (Berlin, Germany), Oxford Brooks University (Oxford, Great Britain) etc.

• The Faculty has successfully completed a TEMPUS TACIS JET project in Human Resource Development in Ukraine (1999 - 2002 T JEP 10809) and now is running a second TEMPUS TACIS project aiming to create an Electronic Media Resource Centre at NaUKMA (2003-2006 T JEP 23055) and to establish here a high level form of distance learning. Leipzig Technical University (Leipzig, Germany) is acting as a main Faculty partner for the both above mentioned projects.

• In 2004 a team of the Faculty students and professors won the 7th Join Multimedia competition run by Simens AG (Munich, Germany) and got the competition grand prize entitled Team Europe. There was a record breaking number of international participation with 4,388 teams studying at 2,424 schools from 36 Europe's countries participating. Each team had to design a multimedia presentation on one of the four suggested topics, among which was TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION. CARRY THE SPIRIT: BUILDING DIGITAL BRIDGES BETWEEN CULTURES topic selected by the joint NaUKMA (Kyiv, Ukraine) and KTA de Merodelei (Tournhout, Belgium) team.

• Among the other Faculty students awards and achievements are 1st (2002) and 2nd (2003) places of the Kyiv Student competition (among students majoring on technical fields); 1st award at the 1st round of the All-Ukrainian Student Competition in Physics and Mathematics (2002).

• The essence of the Faculty educational programs is the introductory and advanced level study of cybernetics, programming, and applied mathematics.

• The Faculty programs of all the levels are designed to provide solid academic preparation in Computer science along with the major orientation on the software computer technologies and systems design.

• Most of the Faculty advanced courses speaks on different aspects of programming and algorithmic methods as a modern approach to the program solving.

• Wide-spread of Internet-technologies, multimedia way of information presentation, as well as implementation of computer systems into different fields of economics, industry and culture require the Faculty to introduce new practically oriented courses, among which are network and multimedia technologies, agent technologies, actuarial mathematics, financial mathematics etc.

• The faculty educates specialists prepared to design and implement modern computer operating systems, as well as to apply theoretical and practical system analysis into the all possible spheres of economics, management etc, as well as into the profound scholarly research.

• Mathematical Modeling of Social and Economic Processes
• Modern Informational Technologies
• Multimedia Systems and Electronic Publishing
• Modern Theories in Programming
• Instrumental Means of Distance Learning Support
• Functional Analysis etc.
