13.04.01 Heat Power and Heating Engineering
Course description
A unique master's program in the field of advanced energy conversion technologies providing training in the research laboratories that have no analogues in the country and are included in the register of unique scientific facilities of Russia.
Program features: combination of theoretical and practical training, flexible educational process, use of electronic resources and project-based approach.
Specialized laboratories and equipment are available for training, and close ties with business are established for internships. Courses are taught by qualified faculty with highest academic degrees and expertise solving real industry problems.
The Program students may perform their graduation thesis in the form of business start-ups producing multi-component fuel blends for individual consumption and small business, or providing local energy resources to remote communities.
