Talented mathematicians and IT specialists are trained at the Faculty of Mathematics and Digital Technologies of UzhNU
The training of mathematicians at Uzhhorod University began on 1 September 1950, when 25 applicants became students of the Mathematics Department of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics for the first time. Over the years, the faculty has developed rapidly, becoming a separate subdivision of the university, and now, in addition to mathematicians, it trains IT specialists. The faculty team constantly keeps abreast of new developments in the IT field and implements them in the educational process. In our article, Dean Mykola Malyar talks about the relevance of the specialities of the Faculty of Mathematics and Digital Technologies and the prospects for education and employment of its graduates.
- What specialities are represented at the faculty?
- This year, the following specialities are available at the Faculty of Mathematics and Digital Technologies for admission to bachelor's and master's degrees:
Field of study - A ‘Education’
Specialty A4.04 ‘Secondary Education. Mathematics"
EP at the bachelor's and master's levels ‘Mathematics. Informatics’
Field of study - E ‘Natural Sciences, Mathematics and Statistics’
Speciality E7 ‘Mathematics’
EP at the bachelor's and master's levels ‘Mathematical modelling’
Field of knowledge - F ‘Information technology’
Speciality F1 ‘Applied Mathematics’
Bachelor's degree programme ‘Artificial Intelligence Systems’
Master's degree programme ‘Intelligent solutions’
Speciality F4 ‘System analysis and data science’
Bachelor's degree programme ‘System Analysis’
Master's degree programme ‘Data Processing Technologies’
- In your opinion, why are the above-mentioned study programmes relevant in 2025?
- Graduates of the Faculty of Mathematics and Digital Technologies work both in the teaching field (as teachers of universities, colleges, gymnasiums, lyceums, teachers of secondary schools and online schools for preparation for NMT) and in the IT sector, banking, customs, tax and other industries.
The specialities in which the Faculty of Mathematics and Digital Technologies trains specialists related to IT professions are promising areas that will change the rules of the game in the labour market in the near future, and graduates remain consistently successful.
Now is the time for the application of artificial intelligence in all spheres of public life, but specialists who know how to think logically have always been and will always be in demand and need.
The demand for the professions of our faculty's specialists will grow exponentially in all sectors of the Ukrainian economy. The faculty has always trained, is training and will continue to train highly qualified specialists.
- Please tell us if there are any changes in this year's admission campaign at your faculty.
- It can be noted that there will be no fundamental changes to the Rules of Admission to the specialities of our faculty this year, except that a new codifier of specialities has been introduced and the speciality F1 ‘Applied Mathematics’ has been included in the field of knowledge F ‘Information Technology’. I would like to remind you that for applicants to the master's programme, all specialities of our faculty, it is mandatory to pass the Unified Entrance Examination (UEE) and the Unified Professional Entrance Examination (UPEE), except for the speciality E7 ‘Mathematics’
- What employment opportunities are available to graduates?
- Graduates of our faculty successfully work at the leading enterprises of the region: Jable Circle Ukraine, PJSC Eurocar, UAP Fisher-Mukachevo, Yazaki Ukraine, Flextronics LLC and others. Graduates also work successfully in other fields: education, ecology, economics, finance, business, management, banking, customs, law enforcement, and IT. Many bachelor's students start working during their studies (from the 3rd or 4th year).
Therefore, we invite talented young people to apply to the Faculty of Mathematics and Digital Technologies to obtain basic and professional knowledge!
