Where to go?

Question

IT education

Now I am finishing my studies in the 11th grade in Ukraine. The question is more and more what to do after school. I do not get into the army, at least because of terrible eyesight (about minus six). The range of interests and opportunities, in my opinion, is quite large. For example, I have a diploma of the winner of the All-Ukrainian Physics Olympiad. So far, I have decided only that I will not study for the humanities)
Interests: mathematics, IT, science, research, physics, also economics and even a little biology.
Presumably I will enter the physics department of the Kiev National University in Kiev. However, again, it is not clear where to go next - to try to enroll in a master's program abroad? Or is it better to just go there? Or maybe it’s better to start working right away?
I thought about doing science, but I'm too mercantile, I want to have some kind of support in life, and rather big one)

Answer 1

I told everyone, I say and I will say - go to mathematics (physics, if you like). And in no case do not go to the "programmer". It's not about science, it's just that the knowledge gained at school in this version is more useful than in the others.

Answer 2

I was in such thoughts at one time (a couple of years ago; the situation is similar, up to participating in all-Ukre in physics;). As a result, he went to Moscow and entered the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (aka MIPT aka Phystech). I have absolutely no regrets - the place is magnificent, they teach excellently, the students are smart and adequate. The only thing is that you should not be afraid to study in another country :) You
can talk a lot about the physics and technology department, and you won’t be able to tell everything. If you are interested - write questions in a personal, I can tell you more.

Answer 3

Where to go? In the Institute!
Which one exactly? It's up to you to decide!!!
Your K.O.

Answer 4

>I thought about doing science, but I'm too mercantile, I want to have some kind of support in life, and rather big)
Well, what do you mean by support? As far as I know, there are no problems regarding the financing of scientific activities. To get into technical science, you must first study physics or mathematics. At the end of your studies, you will have a choice:
1 go to graduate school,
2 go to production,
3 or start your own business.
From 1 you can always go to 2 and 3, but from 2 and 3 to 1 you are unlikely to get there. So think. The best option, IMHO, is to try yourself everywhere and draw some conclusions.

Answer 5

> Or maybe it's more useful to start working right away?
Yes.

Answer 6

Go to the programmer, they are in demand now and they pay them well. Going to math/physics in exUSSR is a utopia.

Answer 7

Listen, go to cybernetics, everything that you listed is used there. Unless you're bored of course.

Answer 8

KPI FIOT ASOIU - programming, 10 mathematicians (the highest of which is the simplest), circuitry, networks, physics, computer architecture. A bunch of professors, doctors of science. In general, they will teach.

Answer 9

Go to SevNTU, there is the Crimea, the sea, the mountains… then you will remember.
The main thing is to figure out why you will be taught all this terrible mathematics, theories, etc., etc., so as not to think “this is something completely useless and is not used in life, I’ll forget about it.” Then study a lot of things and you will be a good specialist, and you can find a job for a specialist everywhere. And you can get abroad if you have the desire to get settled at home quite well. And don't think that you will be taught, they teach you at school, at the university they give you a basis for self-study.

Answer 10

I would now choose this way - if there is an interest in the "iron" part of IT, then go to acc. faculties / departments - Technical Cybernetics, etc. If you are interested in “becoming just a programmer”, then it’s better to go to mathematical departments - they will give you the basics of physics and so on there, but they will not be of much use to “just a programmer”, but with good mathematics you can specialize in various interesting “progammer” areas.
If you need a super spherical department in Computer Science in order to work in parallel up to 40 hours a week and get a +- decent diploma without straining and not really attending classes, then KPI, Faculty of Informatics, Department of TC;). And yes, IT at the Faculty of Informatics is taught for C grade, i.e. only if the student is an "enthusiast" and is still learning on his own. An approximate list of topics on the TC is a year of Pascal and C (as in school), half a year of OOP (without specifics, we choose the language ourselves), half a year of the network, half a year of the database. Maybe I forgot something else, but the main thing is so.

Answer 11

Now the most promising areas are robotics and data analysis (including bioinformatics). See where at least one of these topics is well developed.
