System Design and IT Infrastructure
09.03.01 Computer Science and Engineering
About
This program provides universal and sought-after competencies at the interface of design, development and integration of software and hardware complexes. You will learn not just how to write code, but how to create comprehensive, reliable and efficient systems - from low-level microprocessor solutions to scalable corporate information systems and intelligent interfaces.
This study direction combines deep knowledge of classical system engineering with advanced corporate development practices and elements of artificial intelligence.
A graduate of this program is not just a programmer or an administrator, but an architect of complex systems, capable of designing solutions in which program code interacts with hardware, network protocols, databases, and intelligent algorithms.
Program Description
Students participate in research and team projects, case championships and hackathons from the first years of study, as well as doing internships at IT companies and leading enterprises of the region, gaining real-world experience in developing modern software systems.
Graduate department provides training at the school of sports programming, it means participation in competitions both at national and international levels which helps to develop algorithmic thinking and skills to quickly solve complex problems.
Some of the specialized disciplines are taught by practitioners from the industry, forming students' sought-after professional competencies, including: M.S. Pestin (1st category Software Engineer at KBP JSC), V.G. Vedmetsky (Head of the Investment Projects and Innovations Department at TsKBA JSC), N.V. Neyelova (Director of R&D at Ingate Group).

Training
Training program is based on the “2+2” model. In the first two years, students learn to think logically, solve engineering and algorithmic problems, and understand how programs and computer systems work. They master the basics of programming and problem analysis to confidently move on to creating more complex programs and systems. In-depth professional immersion begins in the third year. In the course of their studies, students consistently move from academic assignments to solving practical engineering problems, develop professional programming skills, work with operating and network systems, databases and distributed architectures, master client-server and integration technologies, as well as principles of designing and developing complex software and hardware systems. In the process of studying, many students begin to combine their studies with work or internships.
Throughout their studies, students have the opportunity to participate in hackathons, olympiads, and scientific research, as well as develop sports programming and team development skills.
Training ends with the completion of a final qualifying thesis of an applied or research nature, often related to the real tasks of the industry. This approach allows graduates to enter the labor market with a systematic mindset, project work experience, and competitive professional competencies.

Students
Our students are active researchers and developers who harmoniously combine hardskills with flexible skills. They actively participate in olympiads, hackathons, and scientific projects, combine practice with research and prepare for a successful career in IT sphere.
They focus not so much on the internal logic of a single program, but rather on how different components (software, hardware, networks, operating systems) interact with each other to create a reliable and efficient information system. They connect the software world with the hardware world.
