Entering the fourth year of University (Master 1 IFI - Faculty of Sciences & Polytech’Sophia)(Master 1 IFI - Faculty of Sciences & Polytech’Sophia)
Requirements (level expected in L3 IFI)
From Kharkov and Kherson
• Programming techniques (C or java)• Databases (creation and manipulation)• Algorithms • Operating systems (windows and Linux)• Object-oriented conception (UML, design pattern…)• Complex systems oror logic programming oror office informatics• Automata and language (theory of compiling)• Internet programming• Programming operating systems• Concurrent programming oror advanced internet programming oror advanced OOD• Project management oror database administration oror introduction to telecommunication

• Advanced database• Advanced programming (java) and design patterns• Distributed systems• Advanced Compiling (grammar, parser, etc.) • XML technology• Infrastructure and protocols of the networks• Web applications• Analysis and design of application with advanced UML• Computer-science policies in companies• Management simulation• Finance affairs and diagnostics• Company creation• Management control and audit
Entering the fifth year of University (Master 2 MIAGE - Faculty of Sciences)(Master 2 MIAGE - Faculty of Sciences)
Requirements (level expected in M1 MIAGE)
From Kharkov and Kherson• Mandatory courses are covered by the Ukrainian curriculum • Optional courses correspond to optional courses in Ukrainian universities
KharkovKharkov: about computer science most of the knowledge is covered by the mandatory and elective courses (there there is no specialization before the fifth is no specialization before the fifth yearyear). About management, the students will have to follow additional courses in order to fulfil to the requirements. This will be done by the inclusion of elective courses in the fourth year in KhNU programs.
KhersonKherson: About computer science most of the knowledge is covered by the specializations provided at KSU. About economics, the students will have to follow additional course units in order to fulfil to the requirement. This will be done in the faculty of economics of KSU.

Entering the fifth year of University (Master 2 IFI - Faculty of Sciences & Polytech’Sophia)(Master 2 IFI - Faculty of Sciences & Polytech’Sophia)
Requirements (level expected in M1 IFI)
Mandatory units Mandatory units : • Object persistence models • XML technology• Introduction to calculability • Distribution and concurrency• Software engineering• Introduction to logics• Distributed Programming• Networks• Introduction to complexity• Introduction to semantics
3 units chosen from3 units chosen from: • System programming or • Image Synthesis or • Digital Electronics or • Introduction to decision Databases or • Constraint programming.
One of the three groups of optionsOne of the three groups of options : :• G1: Cryptography and Security ++ Systems Programming ++ Compiling
• G2 : advanced relational databases ++ databases administration ++ Web 2.0 • G3 : software Architecture ++ Web 2.0 ++ man-machine Interface
KharkovKharkov: Three of five in the list of options (System programming or Introduction to decision Databases or constraint programming) are covered. About the group of options, KhNU covers G1 (except cryptography – only basics), G2 and G3.
KhersonKherson: Only one among three in the list options is covered by KSU. “Introduction to semantics” is not covered. KSU covers G2 and G3 but for G1 it provides only some bases of the 3 courses.
