Information systems in economics
The Department of Information Systems in Economics (ISE) is a structural unit of the Higher School of Economics and Business (HSEB) at the I. Razzakov Kyrgyz State Technical University. Its primary mission is to meet the needs of the population, businesses, and the scientific community of the Kyrgyz Republic by providing cutting-edge university education at a high scientific and technical level in the management of economic and technical systems, utilizing advanced information technologies.
The department's main focus is training IT specialists—programmers and expert analysts proficient in modern programming methods and data processing within the realm of information and communication technologies (ICT).
Educational Programs are focused on preparing:
Academic Bachelors in the field of Information Systems and Technologies, with specializations in:
Information Systems and Programming Technologies in Economics;
Information Systems and Programming Technologies in Financial and Credit Activities.
Masters under the following Master's programs:
Information Systems in Economics;
IT Project and Development Management (field: Information Systems and Technologies);
Databases (field: Computer Science and Computer Engineering).
PhD Doctors in the field of Information Systems and Processes, aligned with European standards (EU).
A key objective in fulfilling this mission is the department's commitment to fostering independent and creative work in students, as well as the ability to apply acquired knowledge in practice, including in fundamental and applied research, and in design and engineering projects.
This mission defines the department's development strategy as a framework for the long-term enhancement of both the content and organization of the educational process. The strategy is oriented towards:
Constantly and dynamically updated knowledge in IT;
The use of modern computing technologies in teaching, scientific, and applied research;
Instilling in students the skills and imperative for continuous knowledge renewal.
Consequently, the department's strategy is focused on addressing the following tasks:
Continuous knowledge renewal in computer science, systems, and technologies, driven by the rapid evolution of information sciences. This is achieved through ongoing professional development of faculty via paid training courses, the postgraduate (aspirantura) system, and degree candidacy.
Continuous improvement of teaching methodologies by integrating modern computer tools and technologies, such as network-based automated systems for supporting laboratory and practical work, using audiovisual aids in lectures, and implementing systematic automated assessment of student learning outcomes.
Providing students with up-to-date literature, methodological guides, and training programs, leveraging digital formats (electronic libraries), Internet resources, and dedicated departmental portals.
Conducting research in the field of automated management in social and economic systems (which constitutes the department's core research direction and establishes it as a national leader), with extensive involvement of students in this work.
Automating educational process management at the departmental level through specialized computer systems and technologies, mobile computer-based assessment tools, and automated information exchange platforms between the Dean's office and the department.
This strategic shift is necessitated by the recent update of educational standards and programs in the Russian Federation and the subsequent alignment of the Kyrgyz Republic's standards with them. This process is consistent with the interstate agreement on the mutual recognition and equivalence of educational documents, utilizing the state requirements for the content and level of Bachelor's/Master's training in the field 710200 "Information Systems and Technologies."
Currently, the department's faculty actively employ information technologies, active learning forms, and modern teaching methods in their work. The department has established and continually updates an electronic database containing informational resources, teaching and learning complexes for various disciplines, and methodological materials for students' independent work and knowledge assessment.
Faculty members continuously work on improving their qualifications by participating in methodological seminars, professional development courses, and internships at leading national universities and institutions.
The department provides all necessary conditions to meet students' educational needs and interests and to foster their professional competencies.
The department actively collaborates with employers, inviting them to seminars, business meetings, and guest lectures for students. Practical experience, novel approaches in analytical and financial-economic work, modern banking technologies, and financial instruments are regularly discussed with industry partners and integrated into the curricula.
The department is committed to implementing all objectives related to the modernization of higher professional education in the field of Information Systems and Technologies.
