Results of the Public Discussion on the Draft 2025 Bachelor's Programme

The public discussion on the draft Bachelor's educational and professional programme "Machine Learning and Mathematical Modelling", which ran from April 2 to May 2, 2025, has concluded.

Prior to the publication of the draft and during the public discussion, meetings were held with the students and the alumni, during which thoughts and suggestions for updating the educational programme were discussed. In addition, the Applied Mathematics Department received feedback and proposals from the following stakeholders:

  • Igor Sinitsyn, Director of the Institute of Software Systems of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor;

  • David Rohn Morgan, CEO of Simulmedia Inc. LLC (New York, USA);

  • Yurii Demchenko, Senior Researcher at the University of Amsterdam (Netherlands);

  • Valerii Buslaiev, alumnus of the educational programme (class of 2018), PhD student at the Applied Mathematics Department;

  • Serhii Sakharov, PhD student at the Applied Mathematics Department, Member of the University Scientific and Methodological Commission for major F1 Applied Mathematics.

Based on the outcomes of the public discussion, it was decided to introduce the following changes to the published draft educational programme:

  • remove "Data Visualisation" from the list of compulsory components;

  • move the teaching of the component "Fundamentals of Machine Learning" from the 6th semester to the 5th semester;

  • remove the component ПО 04 "Programming. Academic Year Paper", as executing a term paper during the first semester of studies may prove to be an overly complex task for students;

  • remove "data analysis and data science" and "artificial intelligence" from the educational programme's list of keywords to avoid a conflict with the titles and subject areas of other specialties within Field F;

  • add the following phrase to the "Features of the Educational Programme" section: "With the development of artificial intelligence, the need for specialists capable of coding known algorithms will decrease — and very quickly."
