Head of the programme: Yury I. Nyashin, Honoured Scientist of the Russian Federation, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor, Head of Theoretical Mechanics Department

Academic degree: Master’s degree.

Area of study (qualification):
151600.68 Applied Mechanics

Priority development areas of PNRPU:
Nanoindustry

Target of the programme:
providing research specialists of high quality and profile in Applied Mechanics, in particular, Biomechanics.

Programme characteristics:
: in Perm city and cities of Western Ural there are large scientific and research institutions and medical centres working with biomechanics to some extent. In order to solve problems of patients’ diagnostics and treatment based on biomechanics mathematical models, designing orthopaedic and supportive equipment, it is necessary to have good specialists able to combine fundamental scientific and special knowledge with great knowledge in humanities and social economics. They should also have scientific and research experience, be ready to solve complex scientific and technical problems. Within the present Master’s programme the University is cooperating with Perm State Medical Academy named after Academician E.A. Wagner, Institute of Continuous Media Mechanics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Ural branch, Institute of Ecology and Microbial Genetics, Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Target group:
Bachelors of the following programmes: 151600.62 Applied Mechanics, 010400.62 Applied Mathematics and Informatics.

Major clients:
institutes of Ural branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, PNRPU departments.

Possible places of work for the programme graduates:
— scientific and research institutes; — construction design offices; — educational institutions; — state authorities; — enterprises and companies using methods of applied mathematics, applied mechanics and computer technologies.

Cooperation with research and development institutes and enterprises within the programme:
the Master’s programme is supported by Perm State Medical Academy named after Academician E.A. Wagner (Department of Traumatology, Orthopaedics and Military Surgery, General Surgery, Dental Orthopaedics), Institute of Continuous Media Mechanics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Ural branch (Laboratory of Materials Physical and Mechanical Properties, Laboratory of Physical Foundations of Strength), Institute of Ecology and Microbial Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Ural branch (Laboratory of Alkanotrophic Microorganisms).

List of main subjects:
