To make a worthy contribution to the development of the Ukrainian state and society, the South-Eastern region of Ukraine by training competent specialists capable of solving complex specialized tasks and practical problems in the field of systems analysis and data science, through the implementation of the following goals:

1. To form specialists who possess conceptual scientific and practical knowledge, critically reflect on theories and methods of systems analysis, are capable of forming judgments that take into account social and ethical aspects, and are ready to apply their skills to develop the digital environment of Ukraine and the Zaporizhia region.

2. To ensure that applicants acquire advanced cognitive and practical skills necessary for data collection, interpretation and application. Integrate relevant methods of solving complex problems into the curriculum, adhering to the standards of academic integrity and the principles of student-centered learning.

3. Create conditions for personal and professional development by developing the ability to communicate on professional issues (including in a foreign language) with specialists and non-specialists. Provide the opportunity to build individual educational trajectories that develop the ability to continue learning with a significant degree of autonomy, using the possibilities of academic mobility and modern distance technologies.

4. Involve applicants in managing complex technical or professional activities or projects in cooperation with enterprises and institutions in the region. Develop the ability to take responsibility for making and adopting decisions in unpredictable contexts, contributing to solving applied problems of sustainable development of the state and the Zaporizhia region.

Teaching and learning is based on the implementation of active methods that ensure a person-oriented approach, development of critical thinking and professional autonomy of students. The educational process is built on the principles of student-centered, problem-oriented and interactive learning with extensive use of web technologies and self-learning. The study of disciplines involves lectures, practical and laboratory classes, work in small groups, which forms horizontal connections between students, preparation and presentation of educational and research projects, participation in debates and professional discussions. Considerable attention is paid to individual work under the guidance of teachers during course and diploma design, presentation of the obtained results at conferences. Applicants are involved in independent work using the university’s resource base (library, computer classes), as well as the potential of partner institutions.

Education quality control involves control measures and analytical work on the analysis of their results. The student’s learning results are assessed using control measures provided for by the educational program and programs of educational components on a 100-point scale or on a two-point scale (passed – failed). The share of mandatory educational components, which provide for a final assessment on a 100-point scale, should be at least 70% of the total number of educational components.

Control measures include final control, and may also include input, current, intermediate and other forms of control, if they are determined by programs of educational components. Forms of control measures, criteria, methods and assessment tools must correspond to the learning goals and expected learning outcomes from each educational component.

The educational process under the OPP is provided by the graduate department of system analysis and computational mathematics. 100% of the teachers of the department have a scientific degree and an academic title and work at the main place of work, among which 50% have a scientific degree of doctor of sciences and an academic title of professor. All scientific and pedagogical workers have a level of scientific and professional activity that corresponds to the Licensing conditions for conducting educational activities, namely at least four achievements in professional activity over the last five years, defined in clause 38 of the Licensing conditions. The correspondence of educational and/or professional qualifications of scientific and pedagogical workers to the educational component is determined on the basis of documents on higher education; awarding of a scientific degree; having at least five years of professional activity experience in the relevant specialty (except pedagogical, scientific-pedagogical, scientific activity); supervision (consulting) of a thesis for obtaining a scientific degree in a specialty that was defended in Ukraine or abroad and at least five publications in scientific publications, which are included in the list of specialized publications of Ukraine, in scientometric databases, in particular Scopus, Web of Science Core Collection, during the last five years.

For the implementation of educational activities under the OPP, the Department of System Analysis and Computational Mathematics is equipped with classrooms and two computer classrooms equipped with multimedia equipment, a laboratory of system analysis and computational methods. In addition, a large computer hall of the entire faculty is used for the educational process.

Applicants have the opportunity to use sports halls and sports grounds, a stadium in a volume sufficient for the implementation of the educational program and curricula, as well as a medical center, a library with reading rooms and an electronic catalog, an assembly hall and a catering point.
