The Faculty of Applied Mathematics, Computer and Information Science

After completing school it was not an easy decision for some school leavers to come to the Faculty of Applied Mathematics, Computer and Information Science at the Novosibirsk State Technical University.

Admission to NSTU and to this faculty is open to all but it is more selective than admission to some other faculties. But for many people this decision does often prove to be a winning one. They successfully pass their entrance exams and are enrolled.

Now they are in the first year of study and are very pleased that they chose this faculty because mathematics, computer science and information technologies are still a new and challenging area and the faculty has quite a reputation for it.
