Dmitry Tolstykh, a graduate of Ural Federal University, is a vivid example of how knowledge acquired at the university can be successfully applied to build a career. He graduated with a Master's Degree in Molecular Biotechnology and Bioengineering from the Institute of Chemical Engineering and got a job in his profession at Biocad.

"Studying at Institute of Chemical Engineering gave me a lot of opportunities for self-development and self-realization both in scientific and extracurricular activities; the atmosphere of studentship, especially in the first year, when you just get into a new community for you; participation in international scientific conferences in Russia and abroad," said Dmitry.

Now, as a Senior Researcher, he is engaged in the development of new medicines, including anti-tumor medications.

"Education helped a lot to quickly understand the various problematic issues that arise during research, to look for and find solutions to complex development problems," said the graduate.

Most of the students from the Master's program that Dmitry Tolstykh finished is now working in their specialty. This is a common situation for the Institute of Chemical Engineering.

"Since the first year, the largest enterprises are interested in our students, and we receive many applications from them. For example, if you go to a Research Center of the Concern "Kalina", there are 90% of employees who graduated from Institute of Chemical Engineering. There are a lot of food industry enterprises and small businesses in the Ural, so our students and graduates are involved everywhere. I can say that we have 95-98% employment," emphasized Mikhail Varaksin, Director of Institute of Chemical Engineering.

In 2022 there are 150 state-funded places on 9 fields of study in the Master's Degree program at Institute of Chemical Engineering. It is possible to get a free consultation and find out about admission on the Institute of Chemical Engineering website.
