Message to Prospective Students
Friends, you’ve faced incredibly tough challenges at the very dawn of your adulthood: the pandemic, the war... and now, the time has come to make a life-altering decision — where to pursue your studies. It’s crucial to make the right choice because your career will occupy nearly half of your life. It's more than just the eight-hour workday and the commute; your profession stays with you, shaping your thoughts even when you're back home. That’s why it’s so important to find a field that truly inspires you.
What do we really want from a career?
We want it to match our strengths and be something we truly enjoy mastering.
If you’ve found your way to this page, you clearly possess a logical and rational mindset; you aren’t intimidated by mathematics, and you have a keen interest in IT and programming.
This is exactly what we live and breathe at the Applied Mathematics Department.
We all look for a career that is in high demand, intellectually stimulating, and—of course—well-compensated. Does such a job actually exist? Absolutely.
In recent years, roles in Machine Learning and Data Analytics have seen remarkable growth, reflecting their vital importance across all industries. For instance, the demand for Machine Learning engineers has surged nearly tenfold since 2019, with average salaries reaching approximately $165,000 in 2024. Furthermore, LinkedIn's 2025 "Jobs on the Rise" report ranks AI Engineering as the fastest-growing profession in the market.
These trends highlight a global necessity for experts who can bridge the gap between complex data and real-world solutions, making this one of the most promising paths for your professional future.
One thing is to implement a technical task through coding; quite another is to master the intersection of mathematics and programming to reveal insights hidden in data. It’s a completely different level of challenge.
Make the right choice for your future. The Applied Mathematics Department deeply values its community. When the war began, we reached out to all 369 of our students, some of whom were in high-risk areas like Kherson and Mariupol. We didn't stop until every student was found safe. This is the level of commitment you can expect from us.
We look forward to welcoming you to our Machine Learning and Mathematical Modelling program!
