Department of Metallurgy of Non-Ferrous Metals

The Department of Metallurgy of Non-Ferrous Metals is the oldest and most respected department of the School of High Technologies in INRTU. The opening of the department coincided with the rapid development of the gold mining industry in Siberia and Transbaikalia in the pre-war years. In general, for more than 90 years of history, the Department of Metallurgy of Non-ferrous Metals has had a significant impact on the development and improvement of the production of light, precious and rare metals and silicon in Siberia, Transbaikalia, the Far North and the Far East. Currently, the Department provides training for students in Metallurgy (bachelor's degree - full-time, part-time, master's degree - full-time). During the training period students have the opportunity to implement their knowledge during the practice at industrial enterprises and research organizations in Irkutsk and Chelyabinsk regions, the Far East, Khabarovsk and Krasnoyarsk Territories, the Kola Peninsula, etc. with a further prospect of employment after graduation
