MSc - Software Development

Language of instruction: Russian

The training program is based on modern international standards, following consultations with representatives of the largest IT companies, whose employees are also involved in teaching. In addition to basic courses (software development technologies, object-oriented programming, databases), specialized subjects (data mining, development of language processors, etc.) are also taught. The main emphasis is on individual practical work with students developing software. In the fifth year, this work consists in the fulfillment of the project chosen by the student under the guidance of a teacher of the department or a representative of the company. The project implementation assumes both individual work of the student, and weekly personal meetings of the student with the teacher (at least an hour per week). On the sixth course, students from groups of 3-4 people are formed, working under the guidance of the teacher to develop either open source software or mini-projects for companies (Yandex, Parallels, JetBrains, EMC)....

Graduate - Algorithmic Bioinformatics

In algorithmic biology laboratory headed by Professor Pavel Pevzner, University of California opened a specialized master's program at the algorithmic bionformatike. Training includes in-depth courses on algorithms and data structures used for the analysis of large data sets, which are obtained by means of modern biotechnological methods.Also included in the training programming, discrete mathematics, the foundations of molecular biology, statistics, machine learning and other more specialized subjects. A detailed program of training is available on the following page. As a research student under the direction of the laboratory staff involved in solving real problems of bioinformatics.This is the development of algorithms and software systems for the assembly of genomic sequences (de novo genome sequence assembly), as well as theoretical and practical problems in computational proteomics and mass spectrometry. The program is designed to produce high-quality specialists in bioinformatics algorithmic questions, popular both in science and in industry.... [-]

Graduate - Theoretical Computer Science

&nbsp

Manager - Deputy Head of Department for Science, leading researcher POMI E.A.Girsh Sciences.Training is carried out with the direct participation of employees POMI Academy of Sciences: assistant professors in the department teach D.M.Itsykson, A.S.Kulikov, S.I.Nikolenko, F.V.Petrov and others.The training program includes basic and advanced courses on algorithms, computational complexity, discrete mathematics, mathematical logic, cryptography, and many more specialized subjects, reflecting the current trends in computer science.The majority of courses is supplemented by practical exercises in which students solve interesting and nontrivial task to help navigate the material at a level sufficient to conduct independent research.As the courses for the students may be counted towards course Computer Science and Physics and Mathematics at POMI clubs. An important part of graduate research is that students spend under the guidance of specialists in theoretical computer science.... [-]

Master in Physics and Nanotechnology

Language of instruction: Russian

The department of physics and technology of nanostructures is intended to prepare high-qualified specialists in this field.

The modern notion of nanostructures embraces a wide range of materials and devices applicable in absolutely different spheres: from electronics and mechanics to biotechnologies.

Besides the laboratories of the department, facilities for the trainees are provided by the Academic University, the Ioffe Institute and the Scientific-Engineering Centre of Microelectronics.

The department offers the following Master programs:

Master in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics

Language of instruction: Russian

The Department of Theoretical Physics was set up in 2009 by the decision of the Academic Council in order to train professionals in modern theoretical physics. It is one of the most important departments of the St Petersburg Academic University that provides up-to-date training in theoretical and mathematical physics.

The faculty is formed from highly skilled physicists-theorists who are well-known in the scientific world. Professors of the department work in leading research centers (Ioffe Physical-Technical Institute, St Petersburg Academic University etc.) and leading universities (St Petersburg State University, St Petersburg State Polytechnical University)....
