It is formed individually in accordance with the needs of a concrete graduate-master work, its complexity and structure. According to his affinities and preferences, the student chooses the field of study work or the subject teacher from the list of teachers in the study program, which defines the specific task. The student studies professional literature, professional and scientific papers dealing with similar topics, performs analyzes in order to find a solution for a concrete task, or perform certain experiments in the laboratory. The study includes active monitoring of primary knowledge, organization and performance of experiments, numerical simulations and statistical data processing, preparation of seminar work from the narrow scientific-scientific field, which is the topic of independent research work.

Course outline:

The final paper represents an independent research, practical or theoretical methodological work of the student in accordance with the level of studies, in which he becomes acquainted with some narrow area through the literature review and adopts methodology of research or designing necessary for the production of the paper. By making the paper, the student applies the practical and theoretical knowledge acquired during the studies. In written form, as a rule, the paper contains an introductory chapter, a definition of the problem, an overview of areas and existing solutions, a proposal and a description of its own solution, a conclusion and literature. A public oral defense of the paper is organized in front of a commission of three members, one of which is a mentor of the paper. During the oral defense, the candidate explains the results of his paper, and then answers the questions of the members of the commission, whereby the candidate demonstrates the ability of the oral presentation of the project.
