You expect to study professional things when you come to the university. But I as a Software Engineer did not study any serious programming until maybe 3-rd year in the university. There were a lot of math, more than you ever need. Half of those math could be optional subjects only for those who see themselves researchers in future. There was a one year course of the national language (Ukrainian). One year course of national history. Half a year course of religion. One year of law studies. All studies related to software engineering were outdated at least by 15 years (20-25 would be more real number probably). No software engineering best practices were ever used inside the university by anyone, those were not even mentioned. Students have 0 knowledge of IT security if they would only follow the main courses of study. Most of programs were written using Turbo Pascal… in 2006! Visual Studio was not used at all. C standard library was never touched. Real debuggers usage is absolutely unknown subject to any of the professors (windbg, gdb, ida). CMake is unknown within the walls of the university. Linux is known maybe by 5% of IT students.__If you go there – be prepared to spend large amount of time in self education and small amount of time in university courses education (just to achieve the necessary points to get to the next year).__The university still wins some cross universities competitions but only because tasks from those competitions has nothing to do with real life tasks and are prepared by the same guys who invented its educational plan.
