Features of curriculum
The curriculum includes learning of modern theoretical questions, practical exercises, and laboratory workshops on the base of modern and unique equipment, the implementation of research in the form of classroom and in the form of independent work. Central to the training of graduate students engaged in research work, training and protection of final qualifying work and preparation of the master's thesis under the guidance of eminent scientists involved in research projects in the relevant areas of fundamental and applied research, which allows to generate at graduate the ability to work in a scientific team, generate new ideas, as well as to demonstrate the skills of independent research work. In the process of research graduate students acquire skills in searching and analyzing scientific and technical information, learn about actual problems of science and technology, gain setting research tasks skills, performance and protection of research results. Particular attention is paid to training of drawing up surveys, reports and publications, implementation of research results.
