Fields of Study and Industry Collaboration
BSUIR trains specialists in three key areas: microelectronics, radio engineering and electronics, and information technology. The university has over 16,000 students, including international students from 30 countries.
BSUIR Rector Vadim Bogush emphasized that close cooperation with employers is a key feature of the university. BSUIR was the first in Belarus to implement a system of educational, production, and research laboratories operating in collaboration with industrial enterprises. This cooperation extends beyond Belarusian companies to international partners, including the Chinese corporation Huawei.
Will Admission Increase for Popular Specialties?
Specialties related to the IT field have traditionally been in high demand. Last year, the passing score for "Software Engineering" reached 395 out of 400. The most popular faculty remains "Computer Systems and Networks." However, despite the high demand, the university does not currently plan to increase the number of seats in these areas.
BSUIR representatives explained that the approach to adjusting admissions should be balanced. The main goal is to meet labor market needs while maintaining a high level of graduate training. Admission to the university is based on a competitive selection process within faculty groups: applicants first choose a faculty and then a specific specialty.
A New Specialty in 2025
This year, BSUIR is introducing a new specialty—"Ultra-High Frequency Systems." This field is gaining popularity due to the growing demand for such specialists. The selection process is based on centralized exams (CE) or testing (CT) in mathematics and physics.
The first group will consist of 30 students: 25 on a state-funded basis and 5 on a paid basis. The duration of study will be six years, after which graduates will receive a master's degree.
Distance Learning and Career Prospects for Graduates
BSUIR offers distance learning for six specialties, including "Information Management Systems," "Software Engineering," "Informatics and Software Technologies," "Information Systems and Technologies," "Electronic Economy," and "Digital Marketing."
University graduates are in demand in IT companies, government agencies, state enterprises, and the field of information security. BSUIR actively trains specialists in information protection, demonstrating to students how to work with equipment capable of detecting hidden surveillance devices.
Open House Day
At the end of March, BSUIR will hold an Open House Day, where prospective students can explore the university’s opportunities and ask questions. A detailed event program can be found on the university’s official website.
