Today we would like to introduce you to a 1st year student majoring in «Computer Science» - Kostiantyn Yanin. Based on the results of his first year, the KROK administration awarded him with a merit certificate for his academic achievements, and we asked him to share his impressions of his first year:

«I am very glad that I chose «KROK» University and the specialty 122 «Computer Science» for admission. I chose it because many friends told me about it in a positive way, and now I know for sure that it is true. The university offers a fairly varied program that allows students to try themselves in different areas of IT and choose what they want to do in the future, and it also impresses with its lecturers who are always ready to help and are very thorough in their work.

I started to be interested in computers since I was very young because I had access to them throughout my life, and at about the age of 13 I started thinking about a career in this field because it was interesting to me and it also has many opportunities for personal growth.

In my first year, I was very impressed by the work of the lecturers, they really know how to do their job and are also able to help or, if desired, give additional tasks that will improve students' understanding in this area. It's also worth mentioning the university itself, which always offers students to take an active part in student life, and constantly holds various events and concerts.

«I expect that my specialty will open up wide opportunities for professional growth and self-realization, and I highly recommend «KROK» University to those who have already decided that they want to connect their lives with IT, even if they have not yet decided in which field, I think you will find and learn a lot of new and interesting things here».

We wish Kostiantyn success in his studies and further professional growth!

Anna Nyzhnyk, a 1st year student majoring in Computer Science, shares her impressions of studying at «KROK» University: «I became interested in computers and everything related to them as a child when I spent time with my dad. That is why I chose this specialty. In addition, I liked the Computer Science program itself. I am happy with my choice. In fact, I didn't expect that my studies would be so interesting and straightforward. Only what will really come in handy in the future. We have great lecturers who do their job perfectly and give us the opportunity to learn something new. It is important for me to enjoy my work and I hope that I have made the right choice and that I will only see this in the future».

Anna is one of the active students who have been recognized by the administration for their excellent academic performance. We just want to wish Anna not to stop there and to acquire new knowledge, skills and discover interesting horizons.

This profession does not prevent you from working remotely, which makes it possible to do other favorite things».

Today we would like to introduce you to our next student from the specialty 122 «Computer Science», who is studying in the fourth year and on June 12, 2024, he just successfully defended the BA Thesis at «KROK» University - congratulations!

Our hero's name is Oleksandr Bokuchava, and he is an encouraging Ukrainian eSports player who currently represents the Passion UA team.

Since childhood, Oleksandr has dreamed of a career in eSports, and this dream began to come true when he became one of the top 500 players in Europe in the popular game Overwatch. His success in this game at the age of 16 became the starting point for taking eSports seriously and it contributed to his even greater interest in computers. Therefore, the choice of «KROK» University and the specialty 122 «Computer Science» was not just due to positive reviews on the Internet or its proximity to home, but to a greater extent due to Oleksandr's desire to immerse himself even more in the world of computer science and win new victories. However, despite his ambitions, Oleksandr faced unforeseen circumstances: first, the COVID-19 pandemic, which moved offline tournaments to an online format, and then the war, which prevented him from traveling to participate in international competitions.

When being asked about his future plans, Oleksandr’s answer is as follows: «At this stage, I plan to finish my studies, I don't really like to make plans for the distant future. But I hope that this rather universal major will help me to provide for myself if I don't succeed in becoming a millionaire in eSports ».

Oleksandr continues to pursue his dreams despite the obstacles, and his story is an inspiration for many young players who aspire to succeed in the world of eSports and Сomputer Science!
