Composite and powder materials, coatings

The Bachelor’s degree program «Composite and Powder Materials, Coatings» is your opportunity to become an architect of the future – to create materials that have not yet existed in nature!

The world around us is changing – smartphones are getting thinner, rockets are flying further into space, and medical implants are perfectly taking root in the human body. Behind each of these breakthroughs is not just an engineering idea, but a specific material that has made fantasy a reality. If you want to not just use ready-made gadgets, but create new materials for next-generation technologies – your place is in our progressive educational program!

We have combined the four most promising areas of modern engineering and science into one unique learning trajectory:

  • Composite materials – they are lighter than aluminum, but stronger than steel. These are the composites that are used to build Boeing aircraft fuselages, Formula 1 racing cars, modern prosthetics, and SpaceX spacecraft hulls.
  • Nanotechnology is magic at the atomic level. You will control the structure of a material at the nanoscale and create materials with new, previously unseen physical properties.
  • Powder metallurgy and 3D printing are a digital revolution. You will become a high-class IT engineer and technologist, modeling processes on a computer and growing complex parts from metal powders using lasers.
  • Functional coatings are reliable super armor. You will learn how to protect turbine blades from temperatures or make a smartphone screen invulnerable to impacts using ultra-thin plasma films.

Graduates of this program are versatile research engineers who are expected in the aviation and space industry, automotive industry, defense sector (development of modern defense and drones), renewable energy sector (solar panels, hydrogen fuel cells), IT companies engaged in the simulation of physical processes, as well as in modern medical centers where biocompatible implants are created.

Friend, if you have an inquisitive mind, love to experiment, are interested in natural sciences, and dream of leaving your mark on the history of technological progress, then you should join us! We don’t need rigid rules – we need your desire to create something new and change the world for the better.

In the future, we guarantee you a quick start to your career – the demand for composites specialists in the world is huge. We have partnerships with leading universities in Europe, which will open up opportunities for internships and double degrees.

Become the architect of the future: create materials that have never existed before!

Independent work with information in the university library and use of Internet resources. Individual consultations of university teachers, managers and leading specialists of enterprises in the construction industry. OPP is provided for at least 25% of the amount of training chosen by the applicant.

Control measures include: current control; current border control; modular control; semester (final) control; state certification of students of higher education. Evaluation of educational achievements of students of higher education is carried out: on a 100-point scale or on a two-point scale (credited – not credited). Positive scores for all forms of control are scores from 60 to 100 points on a 100-point scale and a score of «credited» on a two-point scale. The limit of unsatisfactory learning according to the results of the final control is a score below 60 points on a 100-point scale or a score of «failed» on a two-point scale.
