Among the achievements of the E&R ITS scientific school is the training of more than 30 doctors and candidates of sciences, the performance and implementation of many developments on the state demand, created with the participation of highly qualified members of our team, including 14 laureates of State prizes in the field of science and technology. The original scientific results of the E&R ITS scientists are used in the formation of the content of professionally oriented academic disciplines of all new educational programs. Thanks to the scientific basis, the training of specialists in the E&R ITS is aimed at obtaining competencies that will allow improving 4G technologies and creating and using 5G systems.

Training of specialists at the Institute of Telecommunication Systems is carried out in the field of knowledge 17 "Electronics and Telecommunications" at three levels of higher education – first (bachelor's), second (master's) and third (educational and scientific). It takes 4 years to get first (bachelor’s) level, 1 year 9 months (educational-scientific program) to get second (master’s) level and 1 year 4 months (educational-professional program), and 4 years to get third (educational-scientific) level.

While studying at E&R ITS, the most successful students are awarded with nominal scholarships of the university and leading telecommunications companies. Taking part in international and all-Ukrainian Olympiads, our students are awarded prizes.

According to the index of creative achievements, students of E&R ITS occupy leadership positions in the university.

The E&R ITS has introduced a master's training program in cooperation with the Dresden Technical University "Double Degree", which functions within the framework of the European program "Distributed Systems Engineering", with the participation of which ITS students have the opportunity to receive a second education in parallel under the single international double master's program "Engineering distributed systems". After graduation, ITS students receive a master's degree from TUD "Master of Science" and a master's degree from Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, i.e. two master's degrees - Ukrainian and European.

"Engineering and programming of infocommunications"

The set of information and telecommunication systems/technologies, which in the process of processing and transmitting information act as a whole, is determined by the term of infocommunication.

Modern development of the field of infocommunication is characterized by an increase in its convergence of communication architecture with computer and information technologies and, as a consequence, an increasing amount of infocommunication systems by software. This tendency and the need to accelerate the processes of creating and implementing such tools indicates the need for training specialists who possess not only knowledge of the creation and operation of electronic communications, common general programming principles, but also knowledge of the implementation of specialized software for transfer, processing and storage of data .

The growth of demand for infocommunication services, the development of such systems and technologies requires continuous improvement of the appropriate means: from simple electronic devices - to complex hardware and software complexes that solve not only the problems of direct reception, transmission, processing and reproduction of information, as well as increased flexibility, productivity and reliability when creating a variety of programmable communications structures.

Educational program

"Information and Communication Technologies"

To provide access to modern Internet services and facilities at any time and in any place, communication systems and technologies use electronic networks that connect geographically distributed data centers with end users. The rapid increase in the need for obtaining information services and facilities determines the growth of the storage and processing of heterogeneous information and computing resources in nodes of "cloud" (located in different regions of the world) data centers. This requires the constant development and improvement of modern information and communication technologies, the construction of software and hardware platforms that will ensure the receipt of Internet services. Instead of developing their own infrastructure, communication operators and Internet service providers are increasingly introducing elements of a heterogeneous environment based on the Internet, Intranet, "cloud" technologies in combination with modern 3G, 4G and 5G communication networks to ensure high-quality user service. In addition, the latest IoT (Internet of Thinks) technologies require the organization of M2M and D2D (machine-to-machine and device-to-device) communications. These circumstances create an urgent need for the training of specialists who will not only have knowledge of the creation, administration and improvement of the information and communication infrastructure of communication operators and Internet service providers, but also knowledge of the general principles, information and communication technologies of creating and improving the software platform, languages and programming tools, specialized software protocols and data processing technologies with a given quality of service.
