Department Head Welcome
WELCOME TO TPUUNIVERSITY TO GET MASTER’S DEGREE IN THE FIELD OFMATERIAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF MATERIALS
XXI century is the century of new materials development. Master’s degree programme is aimed at training specialists in the field of new materials design/construction for structural, instrumental, functional purposes as well as materials for electronics and medicine.
Choosing our programme you will get necessary knowledge and skills in developing surface strengthening and coatings technologies. You will master construction principles of new generation materials (nanostructural, intellectual, composite materials on ceramic, metal and polymer basis, thin films,etc.). The programme is intended for cooperation with leading Russian universities. There are opportunities of probationary periods for perspective students in leading universities of Europe, America, South Korea, China and others.
Specific characteristic of the programme is that it enables university graduates to work at enterprises of small business and medium-seized companies as well for big international companies. The programme implements science practical activity in the field of modern material science concerning definite branches of industrial material production and technologies, research methods, developments, application and diagnostics of new materials. Programme realization helps solve problems of economy real sector: training specialists in material science, development of nanomaterials and coatings of new generations, joint work with enterprises to introducenovel materials and technologies into industrial production.
According to“ The Programme of nanoindustry development in Russian Federation up to 2015” and “Activity strategy of State Corporation ROSSNANO” annual sales volume of Russian nanoindustry production must be 900bln.roubles by 2015. To achieve this goal The Conception of Academic Activity of State Corporation ROSSNANOTECH has been developed. Thus, Russian nanoindustry will demand about 100000 skilled specialists.

Unique Peculiarities:
Material Science has always been and still remains one of the most important branches of science development. Practically all fields of industry require fast progress of material science development. So specialists in this field are always demanded both at Russian and international labour markets. Bachelor training programme is aimed at meeting the requirements of Russian research and industrial organizations and companies as well as enterprises and plants in skilled employees to develop modern advanced science technologies and to put to practice new materials and coatings. The programme implies interaction and cooperation with leading universities of Europe to receive double education diploma.
For students training, laboratories and science database of the Institute of Strength Physics and Materials Science (Siberian Department of RussianAcademy of Sciences), where a TPU branch is organized, as well as science-education centre “Nanocentre” are widely used. Students, who choose the programme are enabled to handle up-to-date equipment which is installed in laboratories and enterprises in Russia and abroad.
Magistrate students take practice and carry out research work in the Institute of Strength Physics and Materials Science, Siberian Physics and Technological Institute, at industrial enterprises of Tomsk and other cities of Siberian region and abroad (Germany, Denmark, Czeck Republic, France, South Korea and others), thus training highly skilled specialists in the field of up-to date material science in accordance with XXI century requirements.
