Graduates of the Faculty successfully apply their skill participating in the development, research, production and operation of modern equipment and systems for various applications.

Training Areas for Bachelors, Masters and Engineers:

Academic activities

The two lowest tiers of training, a bachelor degree (4 years), and a master degree (6 years) are available  at NRU ITMO.

Two advanced tiers of scientific degrees:

Ph. D. (3 more years) and Doctor of Sciences (4 more years) are available as well

The training is progressing at the following departments of the faculty:

· Secure information technology (SIT)

· Computer Science (CS)

· Informatics and Applied Mathematics (IAM)

· Navigation Information Systems (NIS)

· Computer aided educational technologies (CET)

· Machine design onboard electronics and computer devices (MDECS)

· Optoelectronic systems and complexes (OESC)

· Design and security of computer systems (DSCS)

· Control Systems and Informatics (CSI)

· Visualization technology (VT)

· Electrical Engineering and Precision Electro-Mechanical Systems (EEPEMS)

MDECS,OESC, and CS departments are closely cooperating with  industry corporations. Their activity ensures training of the students that meets modern standards, and provides rapid adaptation of young specialists to the environment of research and production teams.

Over the past three years more around  170 persons became winners and participants of more than 30 Russian and International conferences and contests. In particular, at ASRTU Robot Contest&Fair 2011 students of the Faculty of Computer Technologies and Control Systems won theworld championtitle in one of the six nominations.

Student Design Labat our Faculty arranges annual festivals "Mechatronics and Robotics" at the exhibition complex "LenExpo" as a part of the International Forum "Russian Industrialist" and at the St. Petersburg International Innovation Forum.
