Academic program

Students of the academic Master's programs carry out a research project in the leading laboratories of Russia in order to enter the postgraduate school and continue their research. A Master's degree of such type is a classic link between undergraduate and postgraduate schools and is most suitable for those who have decided to make a career out of science.

The main task for future M.A. is to master particular subjects at the beginning of the program and to fully focus on research activities. The emphasis is on specific and respected knowledge and skills necessary for work in a certain Institute with a specific technology stack.
