All teaching staff of IFNTUOG are active scholars/researchers. Research production including research activities in cooperation with students) is the part of study process, and involving students into the research is one of the key points when we talk about developing the research community around this programme. Also, worth to notice that having research publications and participating in research projects (both Ukrainian and international) are considered as worthy results in professional activity for the teaching staff and departments.
In IT4SEE Programme, students are strongly involved into research work. In the second semester, students choose the topic of the graduation paper and get a supervisor from academic staff who is professional in this topic. Third semester has a short period of contact study, after which students go to pre-graduation placement. Depending on the graduation paper topic, students can choose whether they want to go for another placement for 4 weeks or stay in the university doing their research.
After pre-graduation placement, the student works on his master degree graduation thesis. This work ends up with a public presentation and discussion of the thesis. Typically, before the public graduation paper presentation, students of IFNTUOG have participance in the conference and 1-2 publications in journals or conference proceedings.
After graduation from IT4SEE programme, graduates can proceed their study as post graduate students on one of the PhD level programmes. Ukrainian legal requirements don’t narrow the area of post-graduate research for the graduates by master degree specialty, however, IFNTUOG can proudly offer the graduates of IT4SEE programme to study at the following post-graduate programmes established in the university:
