Education at the College of New Materials

Education at the college is distinguished by fundamental theoretical and practical training in the development of new materials, as well as in-depth study of basic disciplines. Students and postgraduates study and develop new materials based on metals, ceramics, semiconductors and dielectrics, composites, etc., master information technology, applied programming, and methods of mathematical modeling.

This college accepts graduate students for the following English-language MSc courses:

Science at the College of New Materials

Scientists from NUST MISIS conduct scientific research on a wide range of issues, including materials science, physics, physical chemistry, technology development, and instrumentation. Materials research conducted by specialists at the College of New Materials covers a wide range of directions: from fundamental calculations to solving applied problems — creating materials and devices for nuclear energy, automotive, aviation and space industries, and biomedicine.

The specialised departments of the college develop technologies for obtaining nanostructured, nanodispersed, biocompatible, composite, magnetic, superhard, amorphous, and quasicrystalline materials and coatings, materials for atomic, hydrogen, and solar energy, study their physicochemical properties, and create an electronic component base.

Researchers at NUST MISIS participate in international scientific collaborations, take leading positions in experiments searching for new physical effects on MegaScience-class installations. The university’s laboratories develop new technologies for obtaining radiation-resistant materials, detectors of a new generation. Students, postgraduates, and young scientists participate in scientific developments and international projects, become winners and laureates of prestigious awards and grant competitions.

The institute was created on the basis of two materials science faculties: the physico-chemical faculty, which appeared at the dawn of the Soviet atomic project, and the faculty of semiconductor materials and devices, created in the 1960s
1970s — 1990s
the department of theoretical physics, which is now part of the Institute of New Materials, was headed by future Nobel laureate Alexy Abrikosov

“Graduates of the College of New Materials are the engineers of the future. It is nanotechnologists and creators of new materials who are expected to change the world in the near future, making life more comfortable and safe. The success of the college’s graduates is based on fundamental knowledge as well as practical skills, enabling them to solve the most complex scientific and production tasks. The level of training of the MISIS University graduates allows them to occupy highly paid positions in government structures and innovative corporations, major research and scientific-production centers, and create successful startups.”
