Why is that important? Alexander Mayatin, the head of ITMO’s Information Technologies and Programming Faculty, shares his perspective on the initiative:
Program heads and deans can not only provide versatile and structured information about their faculties but also answer applicants’ questions about future prospects and development strategies. Such initiatives allow prospective students to experience one of ITMO’s key values – namely, openness – early on. As they submit their documents, they will see that here they can avoid bureaucracy and talk to the head of their program face-to-face.
