Radiophysics Faculty

THE FACULTY TODAY

Now approximately 800 students are studying at the Faculty, the teaching staff consists of 160 people, including one Academician and two Corresponding Members of the Russian Academy of Science, 40 Doctors of Science, 85 Candidate of Science (PhD). Many courses are delivered by leading scientists from the Institute of Applied Physics, Institute for Physics of Microstructure, Institute of Machinery, Scientific-Research Radiophysical Institute. The Faculty's branches exist in these Institutes, as well as in the research centres of radioengineering industry, such as the Institute of Radioengineering and Institute of Equipment Design.

The Faculty confers the following degrees: Bachelor of Physics (period of education - 4 years), Master of Physical Science (2 years), as well as Diploma in Radiophysics and Electronics (5 years). The Faculty has considerable experience in supervising candidates for the degree of PhD, there is PhD Conferring Council.

The Faculty has close scientific links with Cambridge University, Universities of Italy (Bologna, Torino), Spain (Madrid), Sweden (Stockholm), Germany (Potsdam, Darmstadt), USA (California, Texas, Minnesota, Kansas), Netherland (Eindhoven). In 1992, 1994 International School-Seminars "Dynamic and Stochastic Wave Phenomena" were organized by the Faculty.

Graduates of the Faculty are working successfully not only in the research institutes of Nizhny Novgorod, but in the leading institutes of Russia, among them one can mention Institute of Radioengineering and Electronics, Institute of Earth's Magnetism, Ionosphere and Radiowave Propagation, Institute of Space Research, Acoustical Institute and Institute of Atmosphere Physics. Obviously, the Faculty's education is highly valued abroad as well- many its graduates are working there on grants or permanently.
