Brief description of the curriculum
A key role in the education process is attributed to a scientific research, in which doctorates acquire skills in analysis of scientific and technical information on the subject; development and examination of physical models, numerical modelling of physical processes and analysis of experimental results.
The base of industrial and/or scientific practice and employment
Doctorates pass practice in research, perform research activity and prepare the final certification works in NRNU MEPhI, NRC “Kurchatov Insititute”, Russian Federal Nuclear Centers RFNC-VNIIEF and RFNC–VNIITF, FSBI “Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics ”, VNIIA named by N.L. Dukhov and other enterprises of “ROSATOM” corporation, institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences, including Lebedev Physical Institute, Institute for Crystallography, Space Research Institute, Institute for Spectroscopy and others.
