A student from St. Petersburg intends to become a CASE-IN champion after moving to Tomsk.

The admission Committee of Tomsk Polytechnic University continues to accept documents from applicants entering the university's master's program. Alexander Khazov, a multiple participant and finalist of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship, has a great chance of admission. He completed his bachelor's degree in St. Petersburg, and decided to go to Tomsk for a master's degree.

Since childhood, Alexander began to be interested in chemistry: the young man grew up in the refinery town of Kstovo (Nizhny Novgorod region). In high school, his interest in natural sciences only grew stronger, at the same time the applicant began to participate in chemistry Olympiads.

"I completed my bachelor's degree in St. Petersburg. I learned about Tomsk Polytechnic University thanks to the olympiad "I am a professional" and the target corporate program "Trajectory". I decided that I would enroll in Tomsk. Because TPU makes it possible to combine studies with work in production. Besides, here I will be able to continue my professional trajectory with a focus on the head of production," says Alexander.

Alexander chose the program for himself "Chemical EngineeringThe results of the "I am a professional" Olympiad will help applicants to enroll in TPU without entrance tests.

Since 2022, Alexander Khazov has been participating in the CASE-IN championship. By solving real production tasks, he improves his professional skills and declares himself to the largest employers. In 2024 and 2025, the student and his team became finalists of the project and demonstrated breakthrough developments to leading industry experts in Moscow. Now he plans to become a CASE-IN champion.

 "Now I work as an operator of technological installations of the fifth category at the pyrolysis plant at SIBUR-Kstovo. That's why the university's connection with industrial partners is so important to me. I know that TPU works closely with SIBUR, which is a great advantage. I have big plans for my master's degree: I want to compete for a grant from the President of the Russian Federation, the Potanin scholarship, win a CASE-IN in petrochemistry and take part in various competitions and forums. I hope Tomsk Polytechnic University will help me with this," he adds.

By the way, Tomsk Polytechnic University is one of the most decorated universities of the CASE-IN championship, students of the region have repeatedly become winners and prize-winners of engineering competitions. Therefore, Alexander Khazov's chances of success in the championship after enrolling in the master's program may increase significantly.
