The faculty of the department prepares standard programs for the subjects taught at the department, which are approved and implemented in the educational process. Comprehensive educational and methodological complexes for these subjects are also created.

For all subjects taught at the department, methodological guidelines are developed to support new pedagogical technologies for conducting lessons.

A special place in the department’s activities is occupied by issues related to spiritual and educational work and moral upbringing.

The faculty of the department conducts a “Department Day” once a month at the student house. During these sessions with students, a "Round Table" is organized, where answers are given to questions about issues of interest to the students, such as economic, social, and legal reforms being carried out in the Republic.

Currently, the "Banking" department employs 17 full-time staff, including 15 professors, 3 part-time staff, and 1 head of the office.

The future goal of the "Banking" department is to further improve the educational process, provide textbooks, study guides, and methodological support for disciplines using new generations of educational and information technologies based on modern requirements. The goal is also to increase the effectiveness of scientific research (implementation in practice), expand integration between "subject – education – production," attract doctoral students and researchers to scientific work, ensure the timely completion of tasks, and improve the content and forms of individual work with gifted students through the "Mentor - Student" system, which includes non-traditional forms of relationships.

Suggestions for work that professors of the department will undertake in the near future may include:

-       Ensuring the creation of textbooks and study guides planned for the department (in co-authorship with scholars from other higher educational institutions) in accordance with the requirements of the time, within the prescribed deadlines.

-       Ensuring that all doctoral students and researchers working on doctoral dissertations at our faculty defend their dissertations within the planned timelines.

-       Ensuring the participation of the faculty in the competition for state and international grants.

-       Examining economic reforms being carried out in the Republic in terms of ensuring the comprehensive interconnection of topics for master’s and doctoral theses, based on the problems identified.
