What faculty should a programmer enter?

Question

IT education

Guys, I'm studying html + css + js + jquery by myself, I want to enter a Russian university as a programmer, in the future, in addition to the web, I'm interested in java, python C ++. But I don't know which faculty to enter. My father also says that there are supposedly so many programmers and there is no sense, my father says to me (Are you the kind of person who will write a mega program?). But I myself feel that programming is mine, even though I don’t know algebra and physics, but since childhood I have been sitting at a computer and I love my job. Another such moment, the father says that at the present time, programmers are not relevant XD, of course, I understand that this is absurd, but still the father will not advise bad things.
Undergraduate:
Informatics and Computer Engineering
Applied Informatics
Software Engineering
Information Security
Instrumentation
Business Informatics

Answer 1

Informatics and computer science - a bit of everything (programming, administration)
Applied informatics - depending on the faculty, if in economics, it looks like a mixture of ICT and economics It all depends on your thinking, what do you like more - programming or something else. In addition to instrumentation, all specialties are related to programming to a greater or lesser extent. Business informatics is the least related to programming from computer specialties. at the same time, you can work in the same poppy on weekends or in the Euroset or as a promoter, there will be money, if you enter free full-time, you will receive another scholarship
Software engineering - programming
Information security - programming + administration + something security-related
Instrumentation - electronics, circuitry , physics, chemistry + a bit of programming
Business informatics - I don’t know what it is, but it looks like the administration of banking systems
In the outback, programmers are really not needed - your father is right about this, therefore, as soon as you learn, you will need to move to Moscow or St. Petersburg. It is advisable to take a couple of fellow programmers with you.
And you can immediately enter Moscow or St. Petersburg - according to the Unified State Examination, it’s really possible to enroll in a free faculty in person if you score about 200+ in three subjects. You can not look at the prestige of the university, the main thing is that it be a state technical one and provide a cheap hostel immediately after admission.

Answer 2

Well, then listen to your father, since he will not advise bad things. In the next 20 years, replacing McDuck workers and loaders with robots will be expensive for sure, so you are unlikely to be left without a job.
And as for the direction, did you not think that there is no panacea here? What interests you in programming? It depends on which direction to choose. And yes, it also depends on the specific university, training is different everywhere.
And you can't run away from math. Matan, algebra, discreet, geometry in the first courses are available in almost all areas of programming. Surely something else will be added in the course of training.

Answer 3

It doesn't matter at all.
Business informatics is probably the easiest.

Answer 4

Dude, if you want to be a normal programmer, enter a purely programming faculty. They are easy to distinguish even by their names - these are engineering, applied mathematics, applied computer science, computer science, etc.
You know that being a programmer will quickly bore you - do something related (neither this nor that in a different way) and turn around as you like later) This is business informatics (mostly marketing), information security and everything about IT, but not itself programming.

Answer 5

Look not at the name of the faculty, but at the content of the curriculum. If possible, go to an open day and talk to the teachers. If arrogance is your second happiness, then you can talk personally with the dean of the faculty.
UPD: the Computer Science course of a well-known university can be considered as the basis of the curriculum, for example www-cs.stanford.edu/courses

Answer 6

In the regions, unfortunately, it is not easy to find a decent job as a programmer, in Moscow, on the contrary, there is a terrible shortage of personnel. I advise you to go to the university you want to enter and talk to the admissions committee. Most questions will disappear immediately.
The education of an electronics engineer does not prevent me from working as a software developer at a research institute.
