Program Overview
Nanotechnology is a priority area for the development of knowledge-intensive high-tech sectors of the economy integrated into the global space. Nanotechnology is one of the priority areas for the development of science, technology and engineering in the whole world. In general, nanostructured materials are components of the nanoelectronics of the future. The educational program is aimed at training world;class specialists focused on continuing their postgraduate studies or working in research centers and research departments of companies related to the development and production of electronics and photonics - the driving force of scientific and technological progress in the 21st century. The demand for graduates of our program, who successfully continue their careers in leading scientific and industrial centers in Russia, the USA, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Japan, Singapore and China, indicates a high level of training and the prospects of the proposed program.
Prospects. Career & Employment
There are several specialized areas within the field of nanosystems engineering, each focusing on different aspects of nanotechnology and engineering. Throughout the program, students participate in research projects related to applications. This is aimed to prepare students for working in emerging high tech industries or research laboratories that exploit nano and micro scaled materials and systems of various functionalities. The students will also understand the potential for the technology commercialization and its social impact. The alumni pursue successful careers in nuclear, aerospace, and automotive industries, new materials research in Russia, Europe, USA, China and other countries. Graduates are trained to work at enterprises of knowledge-intensive and high-tech industries. In the Rostov region, such enterprises are the Rostov Research Institute of Radio Communications, the Southern Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, research institutes of the Southern Federal University and other universities. Graduates of the department have a fairly high level of training, which allows them to be in demand in the above-mentioned organizations, and the best students successfully study at graduate schools in Russian and foreign universities.
