“The main goal of the department is to make our graduates free people. A free person is not the one who is looking for a job, but the one who is looking for a job and finds it anywhere in the world,” says Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Mykhailo Dmytrovych Godlevskyi, Head of the Department in 1990-2021, Director of the Educational and Scientific Institute of Computer Science and Information Technologies of NTU “KhPI”.
