In this context, the achievements to date, challenges, and plans for further advancement of the program were presented, in alignment with labor market demands and international standards.

Subsequently, the focus of the visit shifted to the evaluation of infrastructure and laboratory capacities. The evaluation team visited teaching facilities, specialized laboratories, modern equipment used for practical project development, as well as supporting infrastructure for academic and extracurricular activities. During this segment, the experts highly appreciated the progress made by the Faculty of Applied Sciences in developing modern infrastructure and laboratory equipment, emphasizing that these resources create optimal conditions for achieving program objectives and developing students’ practical competencies.

This positive assessment, also supported by the growing interest of high school graduates in this study program, provides a strong foundation for its further development. The high demand for studies in Software Engineering, combined with broad professional development prospects and strong employment opportunities in both local and international markets, demonstrates the relevance and sustainability of this program within the university’s academic offerings.
