While at Skoltech, students were free to curate their course uptake as it may align with research interests and career goals. I was open to opportunities to discuss and interact with like-minded people in and outside academia during my Master's program in materials science. For me, the Skoltech learning experience was an embodiment of clear improvements on all frontiers of academic and research excellence.

I chose to study at Skoltech because it allowed me to receive a world-class education, while also experiencing life in a foreign country. Nowhere else could I live out my dream of living abroad in a cosmopolitan city like Moscow while studying at a top university. Skoltech encourages collaboration and team projects, teaches its students to make an impact, and this means that you learn how to create something that people can use.

Skoltech was the place where I finally decided to build a career in science. Working alongside top-notch professors in a state-of-the-art lab means plenty of opportunities and strong motivation for break-through research. But research opportunities are not the only reason why I love Skoltech: its supportive community, amazing campus and exciting extracurricular activities make you a perfectly happy Phd student!
