University has an awesome teaching staff who are always ready to help students and encourage them to participate in interesting scientific research work. During my studies at the Faculty of Physics, I participated in several student conferences, which helped me in writing scientific articles. Now I am implementing my skills in various projects, and I’m already working as a software engineer. I really appreciate all the opportunities that Southern Federal University has given me.
