    Department of Communication Networks graduates the Bachelor of Science, specialist and Master of Science at a specialty “Information Communication Networks” in Telecommunication direction. The licensed amount of the acceptance is 140 students both with the full time and correspondence education on state budget and contract base. Also there are two auxiliary forms of education to be provided by the department: externship and postgraduate. The specialty “Information Communication Networks” is a broad scoped one in the area of information technologies. Our students are experienced in software, hardware equipment of computer and telecommunication networks for a different purpose.
     During their education the students get professional knowledges and skills at up-to-date digital technologies of telephony, mobile communications (cellular, trunking, personal satellite), data networks (local, wide, corporate), integrated services digital networks, intelligent networks, multiservice networks, next generation networks (NGN), in creation and providing resources and services of the Internet.
     There are six chief subjects within the specialty “Information Communication Networks”:
     - Information communication networks.
     - Mobile communications.
     - Information technologies, networks and systems in business.
     - Software of information communication networks.
     - Automatic telecommunication facilities.
     - Mail service networks.
     All of these chief subjects are confirmed by Ukrainian Ministry of Education and Science.
     The graduate students of the specialty “Information Communication Networks” work:
     - at companies and organizations providing such services as telephony, mobile communications and the Internet (Ukrtelecom, U'tel, Veltontelecom, KyivStar, MTS, Life, Beeline, Internet-providers and the others);
     - as system administrators that manage local and corporate networks, database administrators at banking establishments, product and trade companies, educational organizations, organs of government and power structures;
     - at companies that work in area of development and designing of information communication networks of various types.

     There are 39 employees at the department. The stuff includes:
     - 6 doctors of science and professors (Bezruk V.M., Voloschuk V.I., Presnjakov I.M., Botcman P.D., Emeljanov V.V., Zelenin A.M.);
     - 11 candidates of science (PhD), assistant professors (Astrahancev А.А., Bidni U.М., Bondar D.V., Eliseev V.I., Zolotarjov V.А., Krivenko S.А., Коroljov V.M., Коstromicki А.I., Оmеl'chenko А.V., Коchkin М.I., Оmеl'chenko S.V.);
     - 6 upper teachers (Bibka O.I., Koltun U.M., Мalinin O.P., Мal'kov O.М., Svid I.V., Shirjaev А.V.);
     - 16 assistants, PhD-students and scientific employees.

The students are being learnt following disciplines: discrete mathematics, informatics, computing technology and microprocessors, applied computer technologies, principles of information distribution theory, switching systems in telecommunications, telecommunication and information networks, local area networks, network operating systems, Internet-technologies, information systems and Internet, information communications based on Internet, IP-telephony, intellectual networks, neural networks, digital communication technologies, document communication networks, integrated services digital networks, mobile objects communication systems and networks, technologies of subscriber access networks, satellite communication and navigation systems, systems and networks for radio- and telecasting, automation of designing telecommunications, methods of optimization, information security in telecommunication systems, business processes in telecommunications, billing systems in telecommunications, databases in information communication networks, electrical signals and circuits theory, principles of circuits engineering, telecommunications transmission systems, measuring technologies in communication networks, planning and designing of information systems, information networks management, packet switching networks equipment, fiber-optic communication networks, mobile communications hardware, cellular and trunking communications, mobile objects switching systems, subscribes’ access to base telecommunication networks, information networks in economy, information security in bank networks, e-payment systems, transactions security in the open networks, etc.
Tutorials and text-books that reflect modern achievements in corresponding areas of science and engineering are being prepared and published on all disciplines.

     A scientific direction of the department is Information-Telecommunication Technologies and networks.
     Scientific manager d.t.s., prof. Bezruk V.M.
     Components of the department scientific direction:
     - Studying and development of methods to increase efficiency, noise immunity and information security of information communication networks.
     - Studying and development information communication networks simulation and multicriterion optimization methods.
     - Methods of modulation, coding and spectral analysis in multiservice communication networks studying.
     - Improvement of mobile and satellite communications, and navigation networks technologies.
     - Technologies of information distribution and management in next generation multiservice networks.
     - Information distribution and digital signal processing methods development with respect to communication networks.
     There is a problem scientific research laboratory “Radiophysical signals processing” in the structure of the department. A scientific direction of the laboratory is “Technologies and hardware-software of digital information communication networks”.

     International collaboration
     The scientists of the department have close contacts on the fields of science and education with leading universities and companies in Russia, Poland, Germany, France, Mexico, Canada.
     The employees and students of the department constantly take part in scientific conferences of international, republican and regional levels. In scientific developments at the department are involved not only employees and PhD-students, but also students in their 2-5 years. There are 100 scientific articles have been recently published on results of the scientific studies that are kept at the department. Scientific and technical implementations are protected by 50 certificates of authorship and 8 Ukrainian and Russian patents.
