Защита практики

Research practice is carried out on the basis of educational and research institutions and other organizations that can be considered as experimental sites for researches in the field of master's training. In practical training the master’s students have the opportunity to perform experimental researches according to their developed program. Research practice ensures improvement and extension of theoretical knowledge, ability to set tasks, analyze received results and make conclusions, development skills of independent scientific research work. Research practice is important for writing Master’s thesis and further scientific work as a candidate for a degree.
A Master’s student can:
- think analytically, structure and edit information;
- apply scientific methods of research and experimental works;
- evaluate research results critically, identify advanced research directions and develop research program
- perform independent researches according to the developed program;
- practise abilities and skills in the arrangement of creative, research and design projects and in the team management;
- perform theoretical or experimental research within the master’s thesis;
- meet regulatory requirements to execution of scientific and technical documents.
