TOMSK, Jul 7 – RIA Tomsk. Tomsk State University (TSU) actively develops interdisciplinary programs. In 2016 the university conducts an intake of Masters who will be able to do projections on information from social media, teach mathematics, focusing on the gene pool, work as ecologists in the Arctic. In more detail – is in material RIA Tomsk.

According to the press service, in 2016 TSU plans to accept on a budgetary basis nearly three thousand people, from them in a magistracy – 1,1 thousand people. Submission of documents to the magistracy is carried out from April, 1 to August, 10.

Today more than 370 people submitted the documents to a magistracy, from them 61 - are the citizens of 19 neighbouring countries and beyond. For the first time in magistracy of TSU wished to be trained applicants from Jordan and Ghana.

Different genes – different textbooks

"We investigate individual distinctions of people through neuroscience, psychology and genetics. We can consider this problem from the different angles. And it strongly distinguishes this program from others similar", – the manager of the new program "Human development: genetics, neuroscience, and psychology" Maxim Likhanov told RIA Tomsk.

He specified that the program is realized at the TSU International Centre for Research in Human Development. Teaching is conducted in English. "Children are built initially in the international research environment – they can read and write scientific works, speak at conferences", – the interlocutor of agency noted.

The most part of teachers – are the invited researchers from the Russian and foreign partner universities of the project. For free training only six places are provided.

Specialists of the center study, in particular, what factors influence development of the person. For example, how people handle numbers, how they learn to read and write, how it is connected with genetic features of the person, how the children who were born by means of extracorporal fertilization are built in society and how they are similar to others.

The graduate of the program can both remain in science, and to be engaged in applied things. For example – to be engaged in promoting of science or to create educational programs of new type which will promote more effective training of children with taking into account more deep cognitive processes or will help them to study mathematics, that for modern school students becomes more harder and harder.

For Siberia – with love

According to the manager of the profile "Siberia: resources and modern practices of regional development" Dmitry Haminov, this program of preparation is designed for foreigners.

"We train people who want to work with Siberia or in Siberia, know specifics of the Siberian regions. We train these foreigners also for work abroad, and for work in Siberia or in the Russian companies, and for work from Siberia with the foreign companies", – the interlocutor of agency explained.

According to his information, this is the first intake of undergraduates to this program, 10 budgetary places are provided, but they are intended only for citizens of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. Training will be conducted in Russian as students should work in Russia. And so far interest is shown generally by students from the countries of Central and South-East Asia and China, the most closely cooperating with the Siberians.

Haminov noted that graduates of the program will know not only the specifics of Siberia, but also other Russian regions. In a year before it was launched one more training program - "Siberian region in Russia and in the world", which allows to more deeply explore the specifics of the Siberian region.

From this year it is possible to study the region nature  within the profile "Study of Siberia and the Arctic" .

"We train ecologists, but with profound knowledge of physics and chemistry of environments. Also there is a course "Methodology of Scientific Search" – it's prepare to be the scientist. At us foreign experts will be attracted. But they will give lectures, they will supervise research works, to grow up young scientists from undergraduates", – told RIA Tomsk the deputy administrator of the program Larisa Kolesnichenko.

She specified that practical training will pass in laboratories of the TSU center of superiority BioClimLand or at university stations in deep taiga.

According to her, these areas are insufficiently researched now. And studying of Siberia and the Arctic is important, first, because of considerable influence of regions on global climatic processes, and secondly, because of interest of many companies in these for the present poorly developed territories.

"There is a development of an oil and gas complex – the Arctic is very actively developed. Several posts, bulk-oil terminals are already created, on Yamal several fields have begun to develop. And everywhere the question is raised, including, about ecological safety – and our experts will be able to solve such problems", – explained Kolesnichenko.

According to her data, researchers of the Arctic and Siberia in Russia are trained by only several higher education institutions. And now foreigners are interested in such programs more than Russians. Within a profile only 10 free places are provided in TSU for arriving this year.

New reality

The TSU laboratory of humanitarian problems of informatics this year realizes several master programs. Among them – is the updated "Digital technologies in socio-humanitarian practices". The first intake on this program took place last year, this year the program is continued with taking into account the got experience.

"We teach students to create a digital product for the person. It's important not only to create a code, an operating system, but also to solve social problems. For example, during creation of the program "the information government" it is necessary to think over how to use it. We occupy a niche in development of products which will use in daily occurrence", – the manager of the program Anastasia Haminova told RIA Tomsk.

She explained that the main goal of the program – is to teach the bachelors who have got technical education, to analyze requirements of modern society and, as a result, to predict what has to be a product and what problems it has to solve.

Such expert will be able to operate projects, to advance technologies, to become the expert in the sphere of information technologies. In Russia similar programs are realized only in the sphere of culture.

One of the first projects of the undergraduates who are trained on this profile became the development of applications for the program website, which helps to organize learning materials.

And here on the "Humanitarian Informatics" profile don't develop new products, and investigate how new technologies influence human consciousness and society, and also learn to work with new digital tools to solve research problems. This program is unique for Russia in spite of the fact that TSU about 10 years is engaged in this scientific area.

According to Haminova, experts who can see both pluses, and minuses of new technologies are necessary for the new world because of the innovations the mentality of people changes. Especially strongly it is noticeable by children who can already intuitively be guided in interfaces and gadgets.

"If in the first case experts create technologies with taking into account features of consciousness, then in the second – they study how to use it and what it can lead to. There is very good conglomerate turns out. When we teach our students, they crossed in many areas – in projects, on occupations. And both experts speak one language, creating new reality", – she explained.

The interlocutor added that on each programs about 10 budgetary places are supposed.

One more updated program which learns to work with new flows of information, – it's "Data mining and bioinformatics". According to the head of the program Alexander Zamyatin, two components are connected in one course for the first time in Russia. This year for training in this profile for the first time are allocated the budgetary places – for 10 people.

These experts will be capable to draw conclusions and forecasts, taking necessary and not always obvious data from large volumes of information – for example, from the social networks, data about traffic of the websites or medical statistics.

"The owner of the internet portal abroad sets a task to our student to create the program of forecasting of demand for a car which are placed on his portal. Or, for example, a task to increase adequacy of the forecast during the financial and analytical work with the using not only standard tools, but also a spirit at discussion of these things in social networks", – Zamyatin gave an example.

TSU realizes the program together with partners from the USA, Great Britain, Germany and the Russian higher education universities.
