Description

Our world is changing. Climate change is already having a noticeable impact on various aspects of our lives. Enterprises and society as a whole recognize the need to take responsibility for the sustainable management of their companies and their way of life. The political environment - globally, nationally and regionally - is changing the framework for doing business and setting ambitious goals for carbon neutrality.
The answer to these challenges is impossible without innovation in everything: in technologies of various industries, social development and design, financial innovation, new public policy tools, etc.
Renewable energy technologies reach advanced stages of technological maturity. Digital technologies change business models and even society. It makes us seriously talk about the circular economy or the sharing economy. Startups develop innovative solutions for agriculture, and cities invest in green infrastructure and modern mobility concepts. Companies report on their environmental and social impact and develop responsible supply chains in highly internationalized operations. Business changes are inevitable and more important than ever, and business leaders are already forming a demand for decision-making skills within the new – «green» - economy.
The Faculty of Economics of NSU offers a unique - the first in Russia - master's program in English in doing business for a green economy. Interdisciplinary approach, combination of theoretical and instrumental courses, involvement of researchers and practitioners form a systematic understanding of contemporary problems and challenges that determine the context of decision-making both in business, public and non-profit sectors. Research work and project activities in teams provide skills in research and management tools, forms soft competences of teamwork, communication, creative thinking, ability and readiness to learn. Students and experts from around the world bring the global agenda straight to the classroom.

Program goal

To equip managers with tools for analysis and decision making under a global challenge of climate change and following shift to a green economy. The graduates of the program will be not only capable of making decisions in new conditions, they are supposed to form an active and proactive business attitude in response to new challenges and contribute to the achievement of sustainable development and carbon neutrality goals.

For whom?

Conceptual scheme of the program

Group 17.png-2

The program combines a modern research base with a business perspective. We are convinced that future managers need to understand the world and the context in which they operate before implementing viable solutions. Based on an understanding of environmental challenges, the program covers economic, social and political aspects related to sustainable development and the formation of a green economy. Just as sustainability is based on the concept of triple bottom (three foundations): economic, environmental and social, understanding these foundations forms the philosophy, strategy and tactics of doing business, embodied in the principles of ESG. This is how the main content blocks of the program are formed: 

Level 1

Therefore, the program begins with an introduction to sustainable development research and the natural sciences of climatology and ecosystems (Environment). Along with an initial introduction to economics and management for sustainable management, the master examines the economic perspective of resource exploitation and emission control, on the basis of which government regulations (Governance - Economics and Management) are formed. Thus, the emphasis moves to the social area: politics, values, lifestyle form the perspective of management, given changing social and political priorities (Society).

Group 25 (1).png

Level 2

All this makes it possible to form approaches to management from the standpoint of sustainable development and a green economy, to master various tools: green finance, green markets, including carbon markets, green marketing, technologies and ways to reduce the carbon footprint.

To complete the MA Program in “Paleobiological and Stratigraphic Aspects of Paleobotany Research”, students must prepare and defend a Master's thesis. The GGD Historical Geology Section proposes thesis topics that are approved by the Department’s academic council. Supervisors appointed by NSU GGD specialized departments provide the research work materials. Graduate students from foreign counties can bring their independent research material with them. With prior agreement, students can use the subject of their undergraduate research for their MA research activities.

The NSU GGD Historical Geology and Paleontology Sections will assess the need for 1st and 2nd-year MA students to conduct geological field research in the summer and, when possible, costs will be covered by NSU and SB RAS specialized, geological institutes. The key planned subjects for field geological research are the Altai-Sayan folded region, the Siberian platform, and the neighboring regions of Siberia. In these regions, there are stratified geological objects of Late Precambrian - Paleozoic - Mesozoic - Cenozoic age sedimentary basins in which various marine and continental communities of organisms are found. Fieldwork is conducted according to Russian legislation regarding foreign citizens stay in Russia.

Examples of topics

  • Taphonomic analysis and facies fossil confinement of macro skeletal residues from border Vendian and Cambrian Olenek deposits raising the Siberian platform. .
  • Investment Attractiveness of Renewable Energy Companies
  • Systematics and paleobiology disk prints from the Khatyspyt formation of the Upper Vendian Olenek uplift

Description

The program includes several modules (directions). The main direction - in-depth study of the classical anatomy of the human body (and other mammals, in particular, laboratory animals) in combination with the analysis of images obtained with the help of modern methods of intravital imaging (CT, MRI, ultrasound). The study of the structure of the human body will be conducted both systematically (the system of the skeleton and joints of the bones, the muscular system, the cardiovascular system, etc.), and the topographic (head, neck, chest, abdomen, limbs) principles.

Description

This program introduces students to the basic concepts of modern pharmacology. This unit provides the study of drugs and xenobiotics: chemicals that affect living systems. Topics covered will include the fundamentals of their action and the molecular basis of disposition. Lectures will consider the pharmacologic mechanisms by which chemicals may interfere with physiologic functions to cause abnormal side effects. Therefore the course of “Toxicology” included into program. In general, the program consists of a detailed account of the pharmacology of drugs and xenobiotics that affect selected organ systems. These include the pharmacology of substances affecting the endocrine system, the respiratory system, the digestive system, the immune system and the central nervous system. Emphasis is given to the clinical application of pharmacology in therapeutics through specifically-designed workshops that focus on case-studies. GLP and GCP approaches will be considered. Acquisition of new knowledge of biochemical processes in normal physiology and pathologies broadcast of this knowledge in new technologies for the further development of pharmacology will be investigated. For today the education in pharmacology is highly demanded over the world included Russia. The announcing program is unique for Russia and will train specialists in the field of chemical pharmacology and toxicology, drug design, drug and xenobiotics metabolism and disposition. The leading scientists of NSU who are currently working in the field of chemistry, biology and pharmacology will participate in the announced program.
