My Step Foundation announces the launch of the Master’s degree program “Quanta”
Today we have entered the era of quantum technology when quantum mechanics as science has obtained a very important practical role. This was very hard to imagine a few decades ago.
Taking into account the current international scientific-educational
developments, My Step Foundation has initiated a program “Quanta” Master’s
degree program in Quantum and Mesoscopic Physics.
In the framework of the program, the lectures will be given by highly qualified Armenian lecturers from leading international universities. The education will be organized through lectures, practical assignments, seminars, and laboratory classes. Each student is going to conduct their own research, working individually with a research supervisor. The result of that work will be presented in the student’s thesis and later published as an academic paper.
The program aims to produce high-end professionals, who are capable of fulfilling the main tasks of the military industry to ensure national security. These specialists will also invest their knowledge in the private sector, conduct research, and create startups that can potentially become national technological companies.
Considering the fact that the Armenian scientists of the world’s leading scientific centers will participate in the educational process, the Masters will have the opportunity to be involved in the working process of the scientific groups of the corresponding centers.
At the end of the program,
it is expected to have availability of specialists with advanced knowledge in
the fields of quantum and mesoscopic physics, who will be integrated into the
international scientific community and various scientific groups, will become
high-quality specialists for the country’s security system and will form
scientific ecosystem through startup companies, thus making Armenia into a
regional scientific-educational center.
