Moscow Institute Of Physics And Technology
About University
Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) is a leading Russian university in STEM education and research that was established in 1946. It is ranked among the best 100 universities for Natural Sciences both by Quacquarelli Symonds and Times Higher Education.
Institute gives its students and alumni a great number of career opportunities in Asian and European countries in the future. The strong alumni community is spread globally and includes distinguished scientists, businessmen, politicians, people of art, astronauts, and Nobel laureates.
There are 92 Research Laboratories at MIPT, and more than 50 of them have been opened over the past five years. The university has summoned top researchers from all over the world to head it. The curriculum allows MIPT students to gain not only profound knowledge but practical skills as well. The educational process includes entrepreneurship projects and the MIPT business accelerator Phystech.
After four years of study and the defense of a Bachelor’s qualification work (effectively a smaller and less involved version of the Master’s thesis), students are awarded a Bachelor’s degree. The full course of education at MIPT takes six years to complete, just like an American bachelor’s degree followed by a master’s degree. The MIPT study curriculum is more extensive compared to an average American college according to the school. There is an opinion at the school that a MIPT specialist/Master’s degree may be roughly equivalent to an American Ph.D. in Physics.
Most study courses include a combination of theoretical lectures and practical seminars (problem-solving study sessions in smaller groups) or laboratory experiments. Lecture attendance is optional, while seminar and lab attendance affect grades. The base organization idea is somewhat similar to an internship abroad in that students participate in “real work.” All base organizations also have a study curriculum for students to follow and besides their work, the students are required to take those practical classes and pass exams. In other words, a base organization is an extension of MIPT, specializing in each particular student’s area of interest.
Recognition
In international rankings, the Russian university was ranked 44th by The Three University Missions Ranking in 2022, In 2020 and 2021, Times Higher Education ranked MIPT #201 in the world, and in 2022 QS World University Ratings ranked it #290 in the world.
In 2018 MIPT was chosen as a National Research Center for Artificial Intelligence. AI Center undertakes breakthrough educational research in conversational AI, neural networks, deep machine learning, robotics, computer vision, and computing systems for AI.
Since 2019 MIPT is a member of one of three Russian consortiums for genomic research – Kurchatov Genomic Center. Scientists of MIPT solve complex problems in general medicine and biotechnology using a combination of traditional methods in studying molecular biology, genetics research, virology research, endocrinology research, and advanced MIPT potential in mathematics and machine learning. The curriculum allows MIPT students to gain not only profound knowledge but practical skills as well. The educational process includes entrepreneurship projects and the MIPT business accelerator Phystech. Start offers assistance to stellar students in putting their brilliant ideas into practice.
