The programme and the setting
Tomsk Polytechnic offers engineering and technology study. International programme material covers mechanical engineering, computing and electrical power, with English availability varying by programme and degree level.
Projects, laboratories and research
Begin with your technical interests. Compare laboratories, project modules and research supervision, especially when moving from a bachelor’s degree to a specialised master’s programme.
Teaching language and your qualification
English availability depends on the subject and degree level. Compare the programme title, awarding qualification and teaching language in the current catalogue with the course on your offer.
Look at the modules, laboratory work and final project as well as the degree title. For postgraduate study, compare entry prerequisites with the subjects and projects in your existing qualification.
