Software for computer systems

KSTU named after I. Razzakov Боковое меню Institutions Institute of Information Technology Software for computer systems

The Software for Computer Systems Department was organized in 2000 by order No. 89 of the Rector of KTU dated August 2, 2000, to train engineers in the specialty 552801.04: "Software for Computer Engineering and Automated Systems" (POVT and AS), as well as bachelors and masters in the direction 552800 "Informatics and Computer Engineering".

Since 2011, the department began training bachelors in the direction 710400 "Software Engineering" (PE), and since 2013 - training masters in the same direction.

The department also began training bachelors in the direction 590100 "Information Security" (IS) in 2012, and since 2016 - training masters under a joint program with the Moscow Nuclear Research University "MEPhI".

The department began training masters in the direction of "Software Engineering" jointly with MEPhI in 2019.

The master's program in the direction of IS was developed in 2016 jointly with the Moscow National Research Nuclear University "MEPhI" (IS SOP), and the master's program in the direction of "Software Engineering" (PI SOP) - in 2019, also jointly with MEPhI. One year, students in these joint programs study at KSTU named after I. Razzakov, the second year - at MEPhI. Defense is planned and conducted online.

A labor market analysis shows that the demand for professional programmers in Kyrgyzstan currently amounts to more than 50,000 people, according to KARPO (Kyrgyz Association of Software Developers).

The annual graduation of all universities in Kyrgyzstan capable of satisfying this demand reaches 200 people.

There is an acute shortage of well-trained programmers not only in the Kyrgyz market, but also in other developed countries.­
