Students of all specialties receive fundamental mathematical education during the first two years of study, with the further profound preparation in chosen specialty, specialization and personal interests.

Mathematicians go deeply into the theoretical thicket of mathematical analysis, differential equations and higher algebra, mathematical physics, geometry and topology, mathematical statistics, infinite-dimensional spaces, functional analysis, theory of functions of real and complex variables, homological algebra - theories that make up the majestic edifice of mathematics of the new XXI century .

Applied mathematicians build models of physical, technical, financial and economic systems, using modern software to solve the problems of numerical modeling, computer geometry, management of systems and processes. They train to create extensions and superstructures for systems of engineering and computer graphics, office and specialized mathematical packages.

Mechanical engineers are involved in modeling of movement of liquid, gas and plasma, which is associated with the tasks of modern technology, materials knowledge, environment, nano-and biotechnology, aerospace and biomedical applications. Students master modern software packages for computer modeling of complex processes. They study Biomechanics, which is widely used in medicine, sport and biomedical engineering.

Information science students study according to the international standard training COMPUTING CURRICULA 2001 to develop software and network projects to protect information. Students apply mathematical and computer modeling of processes and systems in the fields of information science, natural history and technology. They also master system programming and systems of database management, mathematical analysis software, quantum science, study and build information systems.

At the end of 4th year of study students defend bachelor's degree theses. Admission to the Master’s degree course is possible on the competitive basis – appropriate academic performance of 4 years and a bachelor’s degree diploma are to be submitted. Both Mechanical Engineering and Mathematics School graduates and graduates of any higher educational establishment who have diplomas in "Mathematics", "Information Science", "Applied Mathematics" can enter the Master degree course. Departments that train masters in the relevant specialty, provide teaching special courses and supervising theses research during the entire period of study.
