Tomsk Polytechnic University

The program's goal is to train specialists in developing advanced technologies for obtaining modern materials, processing natural/technogenic raw materials, and creating ceramics and composites.

The program was developed at the request of Russian enterprises in 2023 and includes two profiles: Сeramics and composite materials technologies and Methods and devices for processing mineral and technogenic raw materials.

We train specialists for R&D and engineering careers. Graduates work in high-tech enterprises, research institutions or continue their education in postgraduate programs. There are two Thesis Committees.

Master students participate in the creation of materials for the leading sectors of the economy: oil and gas, aerospace, nuclear, defense, electronics, metallurgy, medicine, and energy. This ensures that graduates are competitive on the job market and can choose from many career paths.
