Working with faculties

The work with the faculties is based on the implementation of the “order” by the department for the implementation of academic disciplines included in the educational programs of the Faculties. An important aspect of this activity, the department sees the coordination of the expectations of faculties on the content of academic disciplines, including the study of professional applied information systems and technologies.

Interdepartmental cooperation

The main direction of interdepartmental cooperation is work on the coordination of the content of academic disciplines assigned to departments and departments and implemented in educational programs in the direction of "Business Informatics"; The key factor in the effectiveness of such cooperation, we see the openness of educational and scientific departments of the university to a dialogue on content and, in some cases, the methodology of the taught disciplines.

The presence of the faculty of the department of competencies in the field of application of information technologies creates conditions for conducting, at the request of departments, consulting and exchange of experience on the use of information technologies in the personal work of the CPD.

The presence of joint academic disciplines creates the basis for the preparation of joint textbooks and teaching aids, the development of methodological support for the educational process.

The department actively engages (and plans to maintain this trend) the teaching staff of other departments with the required competencies and experience to conduct scientific research, in which it initiates or leads them.

We see an important place in our work in this direction in the continuation of active interaction with the departments of the branches of the Financial University, where educational programs in the direction of "Business Informatics" are being implemented in order to monitor the quality of the learning process, exchange the accumulated experience through internships of the teaching staff of branches, joint videoconferences, access to scholars and teaching materials of the department.
