The CASE-IN partner collaboration allows Yakutsk students to complete paid production internships.

At Northeastern Federal University, which is a partner of the CASE-IN championship, future geophysicists are trained by current employees of leading companies in geological exploration, which ensures practice-oriented training and immersion in scientific research and development. Geophysics students practice their acquired skills during a paid internship.

"Geophysics is a very interesting science. The depth of the deepest Kola well reaches 12,262 m. Drilling can only explore 0.19% of the Earth's radius. Models of the Earth's internal structure – the Earth's crust, the Mohorovichich section, the upper and lower mantle, and the Earth's core – were developed using the results of seismic studies based on data on patterns of seismic wave propagation. These waves propagate in the bowels of the Earth like X-rays, then they are detected by seismic sensors. And the results of processing the data obtained allow us to obtain information about the deep structure of the Earth.", – says Maria Marsanova, Associate Professor of the Department of Geophysical Methods of Prospecting and Exploration at the MPI GRF.

Starting from the second year, geophysicists master the skills of working with geophysical equipment and borehole geophysical methods: electrical exploration, seismic exploration, radiometry, gravity exploration and magnetic exploration. Then, to practice their acquired skills, students of geophysics undergo paid internship in industry companies, including partners of the CASE-IN championship ALROSA and YATEK.

Maria Marsanova emphasizes: "Due to the expansion of Russia's raw material base, we receive a large number of applications from employers. Our graduates are in demand at exploration and oil and gas enterprises, engineering and design organizations, and scientific institutes. They are actively employed by ALROSA, Almazy Anabara JSC, Yakutskgeologiya JSC, YATEK and many other organizations. Employability is 100%."

Vitaly Ivanov, a fifth-year student at GRF, shared that he appreciates highly qualified teaching staff, educational and industrial practices in his studies. "They take place mainly in mountainous areas. It offers the most beautiful views of nature," says Vitaly Ivanov. – During my studies, I was an activist of the "United Student Council of Dormitories" and the head of the "Operational Student Security and Law Enforcement Unit" sector. It brightened up my student life with a lot of new friends and emotions."
