Purpose of EP

High-quality training of highly qualified specialists for the educational sphere in universities, and for domestic and foreign research centers in the field of nuclear physics.

The program is aimed at forming a professional personality of a specialist capable of:

- critical analysis and evaluation of modern achievements, generation of new ideas in solving research and practical problems, including in interdisciplinary fields.

- participate in the work of Kazakhstani and foreign research teams to solve scientific and scientific-educational tasks.

- use modern methods and technologies of scientific communication in the state and foreign languages.

- plan and solve the tasks of your own professional and personal development.

- independently carry out research activities in the field of nuclear physics using modern research methods and information and communication technologies.

- independently develop theoretical models to study the structure and properties of atomic nuclei, nuclear reactions, the interaction of nuclei with beams of elementary particles at low intermediate and high energies, as well as to identify the role of nuclear interactions in astrophysical phenomena.

- independently or as part of a research group to develop experimental methods for studying the physics of fission and nuclear fusion the synthesis of superheavy elements, as well as mesoatomic and mesomolecular physics and physics of muon catalysis

- independently or as part of a research group to design and create new experimental installations and equipment for research in nuclear physics and cosmic ray physics;
