When you think of the university, generally, you imagine reliable education programs. When you think of a startup or industry, it's usually about communication and sharing experience. Luckily, Skoltech is a place where these two worlds meet and create a unique environment for talent development. Every course is a challenge that gets you practicing the full range of skills. The most important thing is to set a definite and precise goal. If you are ready to commit, Skoltech will provide support and mentorship. For sure, applying to the Petroleum Engineering MSc program was one of the wisest decisions in my life.

It took me a long time to choose a university to pursue my master's degree. It was very important for me that it fully corresponded to my preferences and plans for the development of my career. The final choice fell on Skoltech for several main reasons, besides my own sympathy for Russia: the friendliness and openness of the university, high-quality immersion in the industry while studying and the intense educational workload. What I received did not disappoint me.

It is with great pleasure I remember the days I spent at Skoltech while completing my MSc in Petroleum Engineering. As a former student, I can proudly say that Petroleum Engineering is an innovative, advanced program that offers a variety of research areas to explore under the compassionate leadership of the top professionals of the oil and gas industry. Well-equipped laboratories, access to resources and data, networking and student exchange are some of the most distinguishable features available to students. I'm extremely thankful for the opportunity to study at the University of Calgary in collaboration with Skoltech.
