Post-graduate courses and doctoral studies

Post-graduate courses

In 1944 the Kuybyshev Aviation Institute introduced a post-graduate course "of mechanical, physical and technical processes, machines and tools". Currently, it is training full-time graduate students and part-time forms of education and candidates for a PhD degree in 32 specializations.

Doctoral Studies

The centre for doctoral studies has been functional since 1992. At present it is training PhD students in three research areas:  
 
01.02.06 Dynamics and robustness of machines, devices, and equipment*
05.13.05 Components and devices of computer science and control systems*
05.13.18 Mathematical simulation, numerical computing, and program systems*
 
The dissertation committee awarding the degree of a candidate of science (the first level of doctoral degree) was first set up at Kuibyshev Aviation Institute in 1962 by the written order of the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Vocational Education of the USSR. Since 2002 seven dissertation committees have been appointed and re-appointed in SSAU (the * sign indicates the specialties that have dissertation committees).
