Science & Research

The most serious attention at Tula State University is given to scientific work in its various forms: the implementation of work on grants; training of highly qualified personnel through postgraduate and doctoral studies; cooperation with institutes and scientific centers of the Russian Academy of Sciences; patent and licensing work; holding and participating in scientific conferences and exhibitions of various levels; research work of students; issue of monographs and other scientific printed matter. Scientific activity has a positive impact on the quality of training of specialists and is evidence of the fruitful work of the teams of the departments.

Tula State University has 16 doctoral dissertation councils in 37 scientific specialties. Every year 12-15 doctoral and 80-100 master's theses are defended at the university.

The scientific potential of Tula State University today is a qualified staff, these are well-known in the country and abroad traditional scientific schools of thermophysics and gas dynamics, mechanics of a deformable solid body, engineering technology, automation of production processes, metal forming, material cutting, electrochemical and electrophysical technologies , materials science, aerology, labor and environmental protection, mining engineering, theory of dynamic systems and control processes. These are new scientific directions of the humanitarian, natural science and medical fields.
