Pathway

High-Temperature and Superhard Materials

The program is devoted to innovative areas of modern materials science related to examination of processes for producing new high-temperature and superhard materials, their properties and the possibility of usage in various fields of industries. Students work on creating materials that are used to create gas turbine engines, hypersonic flying objects, cutting and drilling tools, and various protective coatings, and they also study the processes of synthesizing artificial diamonds, including for the jewelry industry.

Innovative Construction Materials

The program is aimed at gaining the knowledge necessary to design structures of new materials based on metals and alloys for the required properties, primarily high strength and resistance to destruction, and to develop technologies for producing materials for innovative applications in various fields: energy, aviation, space technology, transport, and medicine. Special attention is paid to developing the competencies of researchers and experimentalists, studying information technologies in materials science, including big data, machine learning technologies, using digitalization opportunities to create and manage properties, predict the performance of new materials and ensure the reliable operation of products and technologies.

Physics and Chemistry of Processes and Materials

The Master’s program focuses on the processes of obtaining innovative materials, studying their physical and chemical properties and practical applications in metallurgy, aerospace, nuclear power, nanoindustry and medicine. The structure of studying in the framework of the program combines the best traditions of the old school, key industry trends and innovative methods of materials research. Students explore nanomaterials, new types of metal alloys, diamonds and ceramics, composites, superhard and high-temperature materials, which makes it possible to obtain the widest possible training profile and be at the cutting edge of science.

Applied Analytics in Metal Science

Nowadays and for the long term, steels and alloys remain the main materials supporting all sectors of the economy and industry. The Master’s program in Applied Analytics in Metal Science combines state-of-the-art knowledge from materials science, digital technologies and big data as the foundations of technological breakthroughs, and meets international standards and requirements of Industry 4.0. Students learn the best practices and the latest advances in materials science, metallurgy and strength physics. They learn to design new materials, independently conduct complex research using world-class equipment, acquire Python programming skills to process large amounts of information, and solve specific fundamental and innovative problems of modern industry.

Materials Science of Semiconductors and Dielectrics

We train multidisciplinary professionals for scientific and industrial work in the fields of analytical methods of research, development and production of various materials, including biocompatible materials (semiconductors, dielectrics, metals) used in micro- and nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, solar energy, power electronics and information display devices, in medicine.

The Master’s program is delivered in a multitrack format and includes two tracks:

  • “Materials science of nanoelectronics functional materials”,
  • “Laser technology: materials and devices”.

Physics, Research Methods, and Technologies of Functional Materials

The Master’s program in Physics, Research Methods, and Technologies of Functional Materials is aimed at training highly qualified specialists in the field of studying the structure and properties of inorganic materials (including nanostructured and nanoscale ones) for various applications, including functional materials with record magnetic properties (soft magnetic and hard magnetic), as well as materials for biomedical applications. From the first year of their Master’s degree, students are involved in the processes of developing, researching and obtaining new materials using unique equipment of the latest generation. Graduates of the program work in leading scientific organizations and companies with high-tech industries.
