About the program

The major Technology of artistic handling of materials was founded in Jewelry technologies and design department in 1995 by Doctor of Geological and Mineralogical Sciences, Professor, Member of the Designers Union Raisa Lobatskaya. From the department founding gemological disciplines were chosen as the main focus of the curriculum.
Keeping pace with the times, there were changes in the curriculum, the teaching staff was updated. These changes also affected the main direction of the curriculum, which shifted towards jewelry design and technology. Despite this, the gemological direction remained, because education in the field of jewelry design and technology cannot be fully mastered without gemological disciplines that have been transformed and updated.
In the process of learning, students study 3 areas - design, technology and materials science. Already from the first courses, students can engage in scientific activities, participate in exhibitions and conferences of various levels. The major allows the student to study the vast field of jewelry design, in order to further deepen knowledge in a narrower specialization in professional or scientific activities
