ITMO graduates for technological leadership

STRATEGIC GOAL #2
OBJECTIVES
Our goal is to implement an educational model capable of producing the creators of new technologies, products, businesses, and markets. At the core of this educational model is in-depth personalization, fundamental and frontier science, values, as well as hard and soft skills supplemented by meta-competencies.

Our ambition is to form and set our own educational standards by training graduates who will start their careers above entry-level positions and will be ready to work within the logic of technological leadership. A crucial element of such training is teaching specialists to work in collaboration with AI, thus accelerating their professional performance and boosting its effectiveness.
