Why Choose This Field

IT specialists are needed in every company today. Even if a company does not produce information systems, it constantly uses them, which means they need to be maintained.

IT professionals enjoy a unique degree of freedom: they can work from anywhere in the world and tackle creative challenges on a daily basis. For example, a tester must be able to think outside the box and love experimentation in order to identify vulnerabilities. For a UX engineer, knowledge of design and psychology is more important than a background in mathematics.

The IT sector is one of the most dynamically developing fields today. To remain competitive, all professionals in this industry must continuously learn new programming languages and improve their skills. This requires the ability to focus, seek new solutions, as well as knowledge of the English language.
