Opportunities for students

  • Publishing Research Papers

    By the end of your degree, you may have a paper ready to be published or already published in a scholarly journal, usually based on the results of a thesis project. To do this, you will study academic writing, participate in a journal club, and write a research paper.
  • Participation in scientific conferences and schools

    Starting from the first semester, you can participate in scientific conferences and schools, including international ones.
  • Internships

    As part of your research work, you will complete a mandatory internship at ITMO scientific centers or at partner organizations. You can also choose your place of work as an internship if it is directly related to your studies.
