KPI provides training, guided by the needs of the labor market, the requirements of European quality assurance system, the relevant national system of licensing and accreditation, holds a leading position among the universities according to national and international rankings. That's why he has the status of a research university is traditionally one of the best local educational and research institutions.
Compliance with international standards of education provided, in particular, the introduction of a system of self-examination (Rector's control, state accreditation, monitoring, surveys of employers, etc.); double degree programs; students' participation in international events (Olympics, schools, competitions); cooperation with domestic and foreign partner universities and international accreditation organizations; implementation of internal quality assurance system.
To date, the "KPI" trains specialists in 55 fields, 116 specialties EQL "specialist" and 122 specialties EQL "master." Of them are accredited (as of 01.03.2014 ): direction of preparation - 55 (100%); specialties EQL "specialist" - 113 (97.4%); specialties EQL "master" - 118 (96.7%). The University is recognized as an accredited status of the university IV level (MES of Ukraine order of 01.07.2013 g .. № 2494l). 107 departments of the university (81.7%), including 99 graduating (87.6%) was drawn to conduct accreditation
Quality of applicants and the number of students. In the KPI as a research university training, demanded by the country's economy today, is based on the knowledge triangle: education - science - innovation. Quality of training includes five main components: quality of applicants and students, curriculum, personnel structure, the level of financial and material security, quality assessment system.
As for the applicants: admission to the university in the academic year was carried out in 123 specialties, the average number of applicants contest - 7.34. Among our freshmen 25% had an average score of EIE 162-172; 27% - 16% of points 173-183 - 184-190 points; 8% - 190,5-195 points; 5% - 195,5-199,5 score that is significantly higher than the average for Ukraine. Share of graduates of pre-university training system (SPT) "KPI" in the total number enrolled in the first year - 32% (previous year - 31%). In the academic year 2013/14 total number of students in the SPT "KPI" (with lyceum classes) is 2500. According to preliminary data, the vast majority of them wish to study at IASA, IPT, FICT, FAM, ESITS, FE. In 2013, 383 winners of Ukraine MAS competition, including students of NTU "KPI" - 99 people became freshmen of capital universities. They learn to FICT, IASA, IPT, FBB, FPE, FE, FAM and so on.
As for graduates. Requests for them in 2013 amounted to 128% (mostly in the FCT, FIDE, FPE, FHPE, etc.) employed - 99%. FHPE, IASA, FICT, FMM, ESITS are the best among institutions (faculties) according a comprehensive index of " reception-release ". Most graduates work in IT technology, engineering, power engineering, radio electronics, instrument and so on. According to the center, "Socio +" more than 60% of employers believe the selection of qualified personnel important issue, with 90% of graduates KPI qualifications meet the requirements of 97% - have a high level of training. The disadvantages are still referred to as the lack of practical training skills with official documents, possession of modern software, foreign languages and more.
The quality of the teaching staff depends on the training of highly qualified personnel through postgraduate (doctoral), the requirements for competitive election of academic staff, enhance their skills, training, compliance with the rating the performance evaluation system. Comprehensive system of indicators used for ranking academic staff. It includes teaching work, valued at 450 points (45%); research and innovative work - 450 points (45%); organizational and educational - 100 points (10%).
Compliance with the requirements of accreditation. Unfortunately, 36 graduate departments do not meet these requirements. Deficit of doctors is 40 people. Four departments are headed not by Doctor of Science, and there is no PhD or Professor in staff of the Department (department of the organization of publishing -IPP, printing and book distribution; machines and apparatus of printing production - IPP; cybernetics chemical-technological processes - FCT, information and measurement technology - FASS). 12 heads of departments are not PhDs. No PhD or professor (except head of the department) to 28 departments. At present, 89 departments are no doctoral students, 17 - graduate students, 35 departments in 2017 are not planned doctoral theses, 16 - candidate. At the same time, there are the departments with a high rate of graduate (doctoral): Metal Physics, Acoustics and acoustoelectronics, optical and optoelectronic devices, mathematical methods of system analysis and others.
In recent years, the average age of the teaching staff decreased slightly (see. Chart on p. 4). Today it is 50 years (2013 - 50.3): 1.3% of teachers are aged 20-24; 26.7% of those aged 25-35 years; 15.4% of those aged 36-45 years; 15.4% of those aged 46-55 years; 22.5% of those aged 56-65 years; 14.6% of those aged 66-75 years. In KPI "youngest" age of teachers is FL (42.3 years); IPP,FMM,FBB,ESІТS, most honorable - FEPEA,IESEM,FPM,FASS, FRE (55.8 years). We have 49 departments, which are leaded by professor over 65 years, and 64 chairs, whose heads are up to 65 years. Only 48 departments have reserve (PhD under 65 years) at the head of the office. Deficiency of doctors to create a general reserve - 37 people.
The good news is was a steady decrease in the average age of University Academic staff.
Quality of educational programs, scientific and methodical provision is based on the introduction of through integrated training Bachelor - Master - PhD (PhD); high requirements for master's programs; "quota" on the number of graduates; modern teaching development; new information technology education; system of independent monitoring and evaluation of knowledge and skills of students (including employers); State certification of graduates; international integration curriculum. An innovative component of training of specialists includes programs for bachelors, masters; course projects, bachelor thesis projects and practical guidance, Master's thesis; practical training; preparing candidates for integrated plans (master - PhD); scientific work of students; joint innovation targeted projects with industry.
Confirmation of high authority CPD in higher education is the creation and functioning of the university-based scientific-methodical commission MES: system analysis; Computer Science and Engineering; automation and control; engineering and materials processing; Energy and Power Engineering; electrical engineering; electronics; radio engineering, radio-electronic devices and communications; metrology, measurement technology and information-measuring technologies; information security.
Over the past year the in tne University were made structural changes of departments, were opened new specializations in the departments of sociology and law, and biomedical engineering. In particular, were opened new specializations: at the Institue of Energy Saving and Energy Management IEE - "Municipal Energy Management" specialty "Power management"; in the departments of FSL - "Information Law" specialty "Jurisprudence"; "E-Government in the administration of" specialty "Administrative Management"; "Sociology of modernization and technological development of" specialty "Sociology".
By comprehensive monitoring of the quality of training in the "KPI" for 17 rounds (2005-2013) were covered 74,857 students, 146 specialties, 1546 disciplines. 318 thousans works were tested and processed on the base of rector's control of quality of residual knowledge of the basic, professionally oriented, humanitarian and professional disciplines.
Total enrollment in KPI of masters in 2013 - 1563 person (in 2012 - 1748, in 2011 - 1391). High competition in Masters admission was observed on FMM, FAM, FL, FRE. 27 of 105 departments have accepted students without competition (45 last year).
Characteristics of scientific reserve: enrolled in the graduate school of the University of masters 128 people; enrolled in the group of scientific reserve 87 people, daily postgraduates under the state order - 148 people. Of them left to work in KPI: pedagogical work on- 64 people, scientific and administrative - 28 Seven institutions (faculties) provides training in the integrated program "Master" - "PhD", which provides a productive scientific work and study on a selected topic of research aimed the final result.
In the KPI has double degree program with universities in eight countries: Germany - FE, ESITS FICT, FW, IME; France - FPM, FCT, FMM, FICT, IPT, IASA, FAM; Korea - IESEM, FBE; Bulgaria - FICT; Brazil - FW; Czech Republic - FICT; Greece - NTUU "KPI"; Slovakia - NTUU "KPI". KPI 67 students traveled for education abroad in 2013.
