The metallurgical institute teaches not only working professions, but also the implementation of scientific projects. The Department of Chemistry is considered one of the most difficult to study, but as a result, highly qualified specialists graduate from it, having the opportunity to find engineers in any laboratory or research institute.
The Faculty of Civil Engineering teaches future architects. It is considered prestigious to complete a profile in the construction of unique buildings and structures, which makes it possible to become a sought-after civil engineer.
