Career Opportunities

Features:
The possibility of studying not only in Ukrainian, but also in English provides conditions for the implementation of international mobility in the world's leading universities. In-depth fundamental training and interdisciplinary orientation of the content of educational components are an effective basis for implementing the concept of "lifelong learning" and allow quick adaptation to changes in professional activity, which is a guarantee of high competitiveness of specialists. Mastering modern information technologies, including mathematical and simulated computer modeling, using modern software environments allow computer engineering of new materials. The participation of VO graduates in student scientific circles lays the scientific foundations for their further implementation of international and startup projects, strengthens their practical training. Acquisition of practical engineering skills in the field of materials science, experimental research using high-tech research equipment (laboratories of electron microscopy, X-ray structural analysis, mass spectrometry, etc.), practice at industrial enterprises (SE "Antonov", DAHK "ARTEM", etc.), involvement of specialists and resources of leading institutions of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (FTIMS, IMF named after G.V. Kurdyumov, IPM named after I.M. Frantsevich, IEZ named after E.O. Paton, etc.) allow to form the competencies necessary for successful professional and innovative activity in the field of materials science.
