The department encourages its students to actively engage in extracurricular activities and supports the activities of – the “Engineers Club”. The “Engineers Club” is a medium for students to improve on existing technologies or create new ones. At our club students do lots of learning and research in workshops. Expert lectures are organised to help students learn more about the chosen field or any other particular section. Lectures are given by the faculty members and guest lecturers are also invited for the same. Engineering is a multi-disciplinary field where one not just learns about application of existing process and technologies but also about discovering new ones.

The department supervises “Engineers Club”. Together with the club, it annually holds:

·        Engineer’s week;

·        Lectures on Software Development;

·        Competitions for students such related to Computer Systems;

·        Workshops for students and teachers on Soft Skills for engineers in IT sphere;

·        Scientific, methodological and practical conferences and seminars.

Technology changes rapidly in computer information sphere, so the Department of Computer Technologies and Systems educational staff is comprised of young professionals, who has a vital connection to real-world trends and topics. Educational Stuff help to serve the needs of our students and our community by advising on our strategic direction and goals.

The teaching staff of the department successfully combines teaching activities with creative and scientific work in the field of Computer Systems. 

The Department of Modern Computer Technologies is one of the three departments at the Faculty of Information Technologies and is a young team of scholars engaged in both educational and research activities in two major area of Information and Communication Technologies. Department staff are involved in the implementation of undergraduate educational programs at the faculty, as well as in other structural units of the university, thereby ensuring inter-faculty interaction in the implementation of university educational activities. The educational courses of the department are delivered in English.

Currently, the department carries out educational, methodological and research work in the areas of training and academic disciplines, determined by the Turkmen State Educational Standard.

The department encourages its students to actively engage in extracurricular activities. Our students, members of the aforementioned “ Engineer’s club”, actively participate in scientific competitions at both national and international levels, such as: Digital innovations, digital solution, Web programming, Young scientific competitions and  etc. Besides our students take active participations in various Olympiads  both at the national and international levels. The department organizes for its students meetings with the representatives of IT organizations and other government bodies on a IT basis. Faculty members and students publish their research and projects  regularly in top journals of the our and foreign country.

The department annually holds:

•        Law week;

•        Exhibitions;

•        Meeting with honored guests;

•        Competitions for students such as web development, Fast typing competition, Arranging keyboard competition,  Debates, etc.;

•        Scientific, methodological and practical conferences and seminars.

The staff of the Modern Computer Technologies Department regularly improve their qualifications, participate in national and international conferences, and submit applications for competitions of scientific projects, organize various events, publish in scientific journals, and actively cooperate with other departments.

The teaching staff of the department successfully combines teaching activities with creative and scientific work in the field of IT. The results of this work are reflected in the publication of textbooks and teaching aids, publication of articles in local and international publications, participation in scientific symposia and conferences.

In 2014 the Department of Exact and Natural Sciences was created as a separate structure of the Faculty of Information Technologies.

The educational courses of the department are delivered in English.
