“INRTU is one of the best technical universities in our region. That is why here I will study the interesting and promising field of "Chemical Technology".
In my student life, I intend to show myself in creativity by continuing my music and vocal activities”.
There are graduates of specialized secondary schools and employees of major oil and gas companies among the 2023 freshmen year students in the field “Chemical Technology”. For example, Vadim Amosov was enrolled in the INRTU for a state-funded place. Previously, he graduated a college with a specialization in “Design, construction and operation of oil and gas pipelines and oil and gas storage facilities”. Vadim now works for “Gazprom Dobycha Irkutsk” as an operator at a gas condensate loading terminal. He noted:
“In 2022 at the training and simulation center of oil and gas business of INRTU I took a course in "Commodity Operator" and "Oil and Gas Production Operator". During my studies I got acquainted with the university and decided on my further education. I chose chemical technology as a multidisciplinary field of knowledge related to my job”.
