Graduation

I'm going to graduate this month and I will finally get my bachelor degree. My specialization is close to the Computer Science but not exactly. It is more general and includes studying computer networks, hardware and programming as well. If I translated the name of specialization from Russian it would be "Information Systems". To be fair, the specialization courses were outdated and the materials we're given were not that interesting. I liked more spending time with my classmates rather than studying. Due to the quarantine the real life education went online which was even more boring and also lacked the feeling of presence and communication with my classmates. Now it is the last week of grading and I should get my degree soon. I haven't decided if I really will work with computers after getting the degree. I'd like to find a job as a programmer but I feel that my skills aren't good enough to be a professional.

Graduation

I'm going to graduate this month and I will finally get my bachelor's degree.

My specialization is close to the Computer Science but not exactly.

It is more general and includes studying computer networks, hardware and programming as well.

If I translated the name of the/my specialization from Russian, it would be "Information Systems".

Comma added for clarity. It's not necessary.

To be fair, the specialization courses were outdated and the materials we' were given were not that interesting.

alternatively, 'the materials we're given ARE not that interesting.'

tenses must agree in that clause

I liked more spending time with my classmates rather than studying.

Due to the quarantine the real life, education went online, which was even more boring and also lacked the feeling of presence and communication with my classmates.

Try rephrasing 'feeling of presence and communication'. It makes sense, but it's not natural. I'll come back and check if you reply with a new phrase here.

Now it is the last week of grading and I should get my degree soon.

'the last week of grading'

as in, your professors are currently grading your assignments, working through the heaps and heaps of papers and files?

I haven't decided if I will really will work with computers after getting the degree.

To my eyes, 'really will' implies something slightly different than 'will really'. I'm trying to wrap my head around it.

It's sort of feels like expression of general possibility versus choice. I'm not sure if I'm nitpicking here; I'd get a second opinion.

I'd like to find a job as a programmer but I feel that my skills aren't good enough to be a professional.

Feedback

I tried to give nuanced feedback since you're clearly an advanced writer. Very well done )

I wonder if the specialization you’re thinking of is IT, short for information technology.

Thank you. I tried my best but it's hard to explain some feelings even in my native language :)

Yeah, they should rename it to "IT".
