Lviv Polytechnic has eight such programs: in addition to the already mentioned cybersecurity and artificial intelligence systems, there are also Internet of Things, robotics, distributed information systems and technologies, systems analysis, IT product management, publishing and printing.
– The results of the admissions campaign show that, despite the difficult conditions, interest in IT specialties remains high. We are inspired that such a significant number of entrats have chosen Lviv IT Cluster programs. This means that our educational initiatives meet the modern challenges and expectations of young people. Today, we aim not only to provide students with knowledge and practical experience, but also to develop their entrepreneurial skills. This is necessary so that they can create their own projects and startups and thus not only be in demand in a competitive market, but also stimulate the development of the tech industry», says Yuliia Tsymbala, Head of the Lviv IT Cluster’s educational team.
Despite the challenges of the war and the general decline in the number of entrants in Ukraine, the level of students choosing Lviv IT Cluster programs is steadily growing. This is not only due to high entrance scores, but also to their activity, entrepreneurial ambitions, and creative potential. Entrants choose the Cluster’s programs because of the opportunity to receive a modern education that meets market requirements and enables them to create innovative projects and startups.
