Our students say

Alisheva Kamaliia
CSAI student, 2 year

"Since I was a kid, I’ve loved math and IT, and I used to go to math camps, which I really enjoyed. This made me want to study Computer Science, where I can keep exploring both of these fields. One of the highlights of the CSAI program is the internship opportunities offered by JetBrains, which provide practical experience. Additionally, the small class sizes mean teachers can give personalized attention to every student".

Alekseev Stanislav
CSAI student, 2 year

"There are multiple nice things about studying CSAI. One of the more important ones is being able to have direct contact with the professors, even outside the university program. It's also very nice to have a lot of interesting extra courses that I can visit even if I'm not old enough and if they get too hard, I can just try again later. This allows to try some things early and understand whether I'm interested in them or not. Outside of the studies, we also can get all the help we need pretty quickly".

Petrenko Sofia
CSAI student, 2 year

“After some years of sports programming I decided to go on to study Computer Science.I like to take extra courses from JetBrains because they provide very applied skills that are useful in work, and the teachers leading the extra courses are always practicing and developing professionals.The experience of studying in another country is an option that helps you learn independence and self-confidence. Аt first it seems difficult to build your life in a new country, but since you get a lot of new emotions during this period, it's actually not too difficult to adapt.”

Ivanov Artyom
CSAI student, 2 year

“I spend a lot of time with my friends here. When one of us needs to buy a blanket or bring documents to the bank, we may walk together: this makes it easier to solve living problems and get adjusted to the town.
Still, I had enough time for personal coding projects and side hobbies during my first year. In the beginning of my second year, I am going to combine studying with a part-time internship.”
