Master program "Nanoscale Structure of Materials" is an interdisciplinary program combining physics, chemistry and materials science. The program is aimed to grow high-level specialists, able to perform scientific investigation on the modern experimental equipment and "mega-science" facilities: synchrotron sources and X-ray free electron lasers. Being a partner institution of the European master program MaMaSELF, we offer an internship program during the preparation of the Master thesis. The educational technology is based on the “leaning-by-doing” principle, where practical part plays the key role in the learning process.
Key Features:
Project Activities

All the obtained knowledge and skills will be nesessary to solve final practically-oriented problems. To make high-lever thesis works, master students will participate in real on-going recearch projects
Access to Mega-Science

Students have a possibility to participate in the training courses and internships in the Mega-Science facilitites such as European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (France), Swiss Light Source (Switzerland), DESY (Germany), Kurchatov Synchrotron (Moscow, Russia), and European XFEL (Germany)
Practically Oriented

Apart from lectures master students focus on the laboratory and computational practicals, which give them a possibility to work on the modern scientific equipment
