The Faculty of Natural Sciences invites everyone to study in the master's program at FEN. Training is carried out in two directions - 04.04.01 "chemistry" and 06.04.01 "biology".
And the research work of master's students, as part of the preparation of a master's thesis, is carried out at academic institutes of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences under the guidance of highly qualified researchers of the SB RAS or at the departments of the Faculty. In this regard, the research topic is always relevant, in line with priority areas development of science, and unique, like any real scientific research. Work is carried out at the highest scientific level using modern instruments and equipment at the disposal of NSU and institutes of the SB RAS. The result of these studies is science articles in leading Russian and foreign journals, successful defense of master's theses, which often successfully participate in various competitions of student scientific works, and a good scientific foundation for subsequent postgraduate studies at NSU or SB RAS. The specializations of training in the areas correspond to the profiles of the graduating departments. In chemistry these are: analytical chemistry, biochemistry, catalysis, non- organic chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, chemistry environment. In biology: general biology and ecology, cytology and genetics, molecular biology, physiology, information biology. In addition, preparations are underway for new educational programs, for example, “biotechnology”, the implementation of which is planned. It should be noted that all students have the opportunity to implement individual curricula based on courses developed for various specializations.
At the same time as scientific work, training takes place in theoretical courses, taught, as a rule, by leading scientists of the SB RAS and NSU - specialists in these fields of knowledge, which provides the opportunity to acquire fundamental knowledge.
FEN master's graduates are in high demand both at the Russian and international levels, and have no problems with subsequent employment, not only in the scientific field, but also in education, business, and high-tech production. The vast majority of graduates of the master's program enter graduate school at NSU or institutes of the SB RAS and become candidates of science. A significant part of them, during their studies or after graduating from graduate school, acquire work experience in leading foreign scientific centers.
The master's program accepts persons who have a bachelor's or specialist's diploma (the admission rules are described in more detail). Training is provided only full-time on an extra-budgetary or budgetary basis (depending on the success of passing the entrance exam and competition). Applicants to the FEN master's program in the field of "Chemistry" take the entrance exam in physical chemistry (the program of this course is posted at:. Other educational and methodological materials for this course are posted on the website at the address, which can help in preparing for the exam. Applicants in the field "Biology" take an exam in biology, the program of which can be found. Information on deadlines for submitting documents and exam times is located.
The leadership of the Faculty of Natural Sciences invites everyone who wants to become a real specialist, in demand both in our Country and abroad, to enroll in the master's program of our Faculty. We are waiting for you!
Exams start at 10.00.

In order to enroll in a master's program in biology, you must already have a bachelor's degree in this field. However, this is not enough; you will also have to pass a specialized exam. Depending on the chosen specialization, this could be an exam in genetics, botany or any other area in biology.
The most common entrance exams:
- Russian language;
- Zoology;
- Botany;
- Physiology of humans and animals;
- Introduction or physiology of plants;
- Genetics;
- Biophysics.
Biology is a science that is directly related to the study of life. Science is constantly developing and today the Department of Biology trains such sought-after specialists as biophysicists, or, for example, astrobiologists and biochemists.
Brief description of the specialty
Biology is a synthetic science that interacts very closely with sciences such as physics or chemistry. Depending on the chosen direction, future masters will study sciences such as chemistry, physics, botany, genetics, etc.
Having received a master's degree in one of the areas of biology, a graduate has many opportunities to arrange his life in such a way as to engage in an interesting, modern and well-paid business. Today, a lot of research in the field of biology is being carried out all over the world, which is why good specialists in this area are valued “worth their weight in gold.”
Duration of training
Depending on the form of study, obtaining a master's degree in biology will take from two to two and a half years. Full-time study will take two years. If the student decides to study part-time or remotely, then for studying and writing thesis it will take two and a half years.
Subjects studied by students
Since biology is very often associated with the study of the most important problems of biology and related problems of medicine, students majoring in biology study disciplines such as:
- Physiology;
- Biochemistry or molecular chemistry;
- Biophysics and bioengineering;
- General biology;
- Eco biology, etc.
In addition, students, especially those who have chosen full-time study, often go on various expeditions (most often they take place on the territory of the Russian Federation), where future masters can study in practice the problems existing in the field of biology and try to find solutions to these problems . Also, pre-diploma internships for students of the Department of Biology are most often carried out on expeditions or in research institutes. During the learning process, students perform as independent practical work, and joint (with the whole group led by the teacher).
Gained knowledge and skills
Starting from the first days of studying in the master's program, students of the biology department are already engaged in research. They are given the opportunity for scientific research, scientific production (design), and organizational - management activities. The Department of Biology also trains teachers for both schools and universities in Russia.
Who to work with
Today there is a very high demand for graduates in the specialty “Biology” of all its areas. Specialists in this field can engage in a variety of research activities, work in structures that protect the environment, take part in the development of various projects in their field and, of course, engage in teaching activities.
Finding an interesting and well-paid job as a biologist is not difficult. Is held around the world great amount research that requires competent specialists. In addition, knowledge of biology is necessary in pharmaceuticals, biochemistry, biophysics and other popular “new” areas of human activity. Therefore, biology masters do not have to worry about finding a job. U good specialist there will be a problem of choosing a job, not a problem of finding one.
