Abstract

In IT industry there is an acute lack of qualified staff and what is more important there is a lack not only of programmers who know one or two programming languages but of experts with professional mathematical skills who are experts in certain subject areas. In the Mathematics and Mechanics School we constantly and purposefully take structural and staff decisions to improve the quality of education in the area during the last 20 years. In the article the structure of the IT cluster formed on the basis of already existing and three new chairs is described. There is a description of these basic chairs, information about the lecturers and the correspondence to global educational standards. A certain chapter is devoted to relations with the industry in the IT field and the organization of student’s research projects. The authors hope that the experience of our faculty will be useful to other universities where IT technology is taught.
