Institute of Physics and Technology (FTI)

The Institute trains specialists in applied physics, informatics and information security for science and high-tech sectors of the economy. Graduates will be able to create new mathematical methods and technologies for computer processing of information computer engineer.

The Physicotechnical Institute has 4 areas of training, of which 2 are directly related to IT:

"Applied math"

Graduates will learn to create:

mathematical methods, models and technologies of information processes for computer processing of information,

software and hardware-software means of information protection,

mathematical methods for analyzing information in the Internet space,

automated data processing systems,

models and technologies of cryptographic information protection, authentication, digital signature, cryptographic protocols,

cryptographic tools in banking, commercial and other areas.

The direction of training includes 3 specializations:

Mathematical methods of computer modeling - development of computer models for forecasting and decision-making in industry, economics, ecology; creation of fundamentally new methods and technologies for processing and transmitting information.

Mathematical methods of cyber security - the development of mathematical methods, models and technologies for creating integrated protection systems that combine software, mathematical and hardware tools.

Mathematical methods of cryptology - development of cryptographic methods of information protection and innovative technologies for organizing cryptographic information protection systems.

Security of information and communication systems

Graduates will learn to create:

information protection and security policy in computer systems and networks,

protection of verbal information and information in telecommunication networks and communication systems,

integrated information security systems based on software and hardware-based information security,

software and hardware methods of information protection,

cyber security support systems.

Andrey, FTI:

Applied mathematics  is a more scientific direction. A lot of physics, mathematics, fundamental knowledge of IT (multimedia technologies, structural methods of pattern recognition, quantum informatics). In addition, we learn C ++, Java, OOP, web programming, system programming, cloud computing and GRID, operating systems, databases, networks, quality assurance, software systems design.

ICS security is more of an engineering specialty, but there are many fundamental subjects there as well.

Oleg, FTI:

There is a huge amount of mathematics in applied mathematics , but physics is also enough - everything from mechanics to quantum informatics will be explained here. Plus, there are several semesters of programming, and in general it often has to be used for other disciplines.

On safety  - physics is the least, mathematics is also much less than on PM. Informatics is about the same. It is much easier to study than in applied mathematics.

Phystech differs from all other faculties primarily in the level of knowledge (one of the first places in the KPI). But it's worth enrolling only if you are truly willing to learn. High dropout rate in junior courses.

Nikita, FTI:

Phystech is an institute within the KPI, which was founded by the SBU, like they urgently needed a bunch of cool specialists in the field of mathematics, physics and IT. For several years, MIPT was almost the coolest Math Faculty in Ukraine, but then people got here, who, to put it mildly, do not like it. It's a shame what to say.
