Student review [#4431]
at Tomsk Polytechnic University - TPU

During my 3 days trip in Tomsk, for Young Vision Award Competition of Wintershall and Gazprom, I had the opportunity to meet with two professors, to visit the Petroleum, Mining and Geology Department and also to spend my free time in the city.
The facilities of the petroleum department are outstanding. Students are training with the latest softwares for every discipline of petroleum engineering and every year there is a special competition in the university for Master Students, to find the best ones and to recommend them to Oil and Gas Companies for Graduate Program.
The Mining and Geology Department is one of the best in Russia since there was a huge mining activity in the area for more than 200 years. The department has a big exhibition in the entrance of the hall with a variety of minerals from all around the world. One of the professor said that <>. Tomsk has a history if space exploration and engineering since in the past University was in charge for many space research projects.
As for the city, I have to say only the best. The people are really nice and kind and you can feel the hospitality of Russia. Just a small recommendation! Dress good because in winter time it might have temperatures of – 20 C.
