School of Advanced Studies, University of Tyumen

The School of Advanced Studies (SAS), the University of Tyumen, was opened in 2017 in the frame of the Russian Academic Excellence Project 5top100. The strategic goal of SAS in the field of research is to contribute to the global debate on the fundamental problems of modern knowledge that emerge at the intersections of humanities, social sciences, and sciences (primarily biology and computer science). The strategic goal of SAS in the field of education is to provide high-quality education in the liberal arts and sciences paradigm for talented students from Russia and abroad, as well as to take on the role of a laboratory to develop new solutions, instruments, and modelling approaches to the undergraduate education that can be used in the universities across the country. The core principles of the SAS activities are internationality, interdisciplinarity, and experimentation.
