The Higher School of Applied Physics and Space Technologies was established at the Institute of Physics, Nanotechnology and Telecommunications in 2016 with the support of the 5-100-2020 Program and united the following departments: Radio Engineering Systems, Radiophysics, Integrated Electronics, Quantum Electronics. At present, the school consists of more than 80 teachers, 20 engineering personnel, and more than 20 research workers.
More than 1000 students study at the Higher School: 780 full-time undergraduate students, 180 part-time undergraduate students, 200 masters. Training is conducted in three areas of training: "Infocommunication technologies and communication systems", "Radio engineering", "Electronics".
The Higher School regularly organizes summer and winter schools on the following topics: «Space Technologies», «PolyPhotonics», «Space Technologies: basics and theory», «Microelectronics materials, circuits and devices». Short-term training programs are also organized for foreign students on the following topics: electronics, radio engineering, navigation.
Higher school annually holds 5 international Scopus conferences:
- International Youth Conference On Electronics, Telecommunications and Information Technologies (YETI)
- International Conference on Next Generation Wired/Wireless Advanced Networks and Systems (New2An)
- IEEE International Conference On Electrical Engineering And Photonics (EExPolytech)
