About the training program

The program is intended for bachelors who want to deepen their knowledge in the field of physics and continue a research career in a university, high-tech production, or research laboratory. Along with lecture courses, the program pays great attention to involving students in research groups working in promising areas of modern physics: space and plasma physics, astrophysics, and the development of equipment for astrophysical and plasma research.

What will they teach you?

  • High-temperature plasma diagnostics
  • Plasma theory
  • Physics of cosmic plasma
  • Cosmic rays and neutrino astronomy
  • Particle kinetics and electromagnetic radiation in astrophysics
  • Space electrodynamics
  • Advanced topics in plasma electrodynamics
  • Fundamentals of observational astrophysics

What do graduates do?

Graduates can work as: • Physicists-cosmologists – study processes in cosmic plasma, interstellar medium, and planetary atmospheres in scientific centers and observatories. • Specialists in plasma technologies – develop facilities for thermonuclear fusion, plasma engines, and industrial applications. • Space systems engineers – participate in the creation and operation of satellites, probes, and diagnostic equipment. • Scientists – model space weather, magnetospheric processes, and solar-terrestrial interactions. • Data analysts – process information from telescopes and space missions using ML and numerical methods.
