Tomsk Polytechnic University

Chemical Technology of Modern Power Industry Materials

Professionals in the field of nuclear technologies, mining and processing of rare, trace and noble materials.

Program Overview

In the Asian part of Russia, only TPU trains engineers in the field of chemical technology of rare, scattered, radioactive and noble materials. This is one of the few programs where the training period of 5.5 years has been preserved, and upon completion, the qualification of an engineer is awarded.

During their studies, students do practical training at industrial enterprises, including the military-industrial complex, and also participate in scientific research, the results of which are applied, for example, at Rosatom.
