Employment Opportunities

The university has close cooperation and coordination with the main employer, a state-owned enterprise JSC “Ukrainian Railways”. Ukrzaliznytsia has the largest branch departmental telecommunications network in Ukraine. These are more than 20 thousand fiber-optic and cable communication lines, 20 thousand kilometers of mobile technological radio networks, a significant capacity of digital switching stations of technological communication. This network is comprehensive, focused on providing a highly reliable system of train traffic control and management of the transportation process. Our educational program is focused on meeting the needs of telecommunications in the control systems of the transport process and train traffic on railway transport, which distinguishes it from other telecommunications programs and is a competitive advantage of graduates. Close cooperation with JSC “Ukrzaliznytsia” allows to solve problems of employment, organization of industrial practice, promotes the introduction of dual education.

Graduates can hold positions in the divisions of transport infrastructure enterprises of Ukraine (JSC “Ukrzaliznytsia”, subway), operators and providers of telecommunications, Internet services, information and computer centers, service centers and technical support centers for telecommunications equipment, as well as in research and development organizations engaged in the development, research and design of telecommunications systems and networks, or in educational institutions that conduct educational activities in this or related to the educational program specialties.

Additional Information

In carrying out educational activities, a unique educational and training complex created at the department is used, which combines equipment into a single network: Iskratel, Watson Telecom, Raisecom, D-Link, TP-Link, Ericsson, «Стальенерго», as well as terminal equipment of control centers. On the basis of the Department of Transport Communication there is a specialized academic council D 64.820.01 for the defense of dissertations in the speciality ” Telecommunications”.
