The National Research Nuclear University MEPhI invites you to enroll in the master's program "Software Engineering and Data Analysis for High Energy Physics", which combines nuclear physics and information technology to train interdisciplinary specialists.

The NICA collider in Dubna is one of the possible places for graduates of the program to work

The Master's degree program "Software Engineering and Data Analysis for High Energy Physics" combines training in elementary particle physics with advanced knowledge and competencies in the field of information technology (computer science).

Modern particle physics is based mainly on large-scale experiments that use sophisticated computer algorithms to reconstruct particles from a large volume of primary data from ionizing radiation detectors. Work on megascience-class installations in the field of high-energy physics is associated with the widespread use of information technology. Specialists in this field should not only know physics, but also have serious IT competencies.

The master's program includes the study of methods for processing and analyzing the results of physical experiments, the basics of system administration, algorithmic programming, the use of machine learning algorithms, and working with big data. Along with this, students master methods for recording the interaction of radiation with matter, the basics of nuclear electronics, nuclear physics and elementary particle physics.

Practical and diploma theses aimed at solving current IT problems in experiments on megascience class installations are carried out by projects in leading Russian and international scientific organizations that act as partners of the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI. The first graduation under this program, which took place in 2025, showed the great demand for these specialists. Most of the graduates were employed at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (Dubna), the rest of the guys work in the country's leading IT companies.
