In November this year two students of UBD group Myroslav Krylovych and Vitaliy Kondratyuk took part in All-Ukrainian cyber security competition Capture the Flag in Lviv and won an honorable 7th place among more 30 teams of Ukraine.

To raise awareness of this event a meeting with first year students of UBD11, 12 and BSD11,12 groups was organized by Mykola Dmytrovych Polonskyi, a senior teacher of the Department of English at ESITC, where the seniors shared the acquired experience and offered valuable advice.

First year students learned a lot about competition  structure, content, tricky tasks, complex cyber security and IT assignments, obtained professional advice how to behave  in complex situations and act to achieve success. The speakers draw special attention to the critical importance of possessing good English language skills and proper knowledge of professional terminology without which it is next to impossible to win in a similar high level competition.
