MIPT: faculties, specialties and passing scores

Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (Fiztech or MIPT), whose faculties regularly produce a large number of qualified specialists, is one of the most prestigious educational institutions that are engaged in research and development. Future professionals in applied mathematics, physics, chemistry, biotechnology, informatics and other disciplines of this kind are trained here.

History

This institution was founded in the 50s of the last century. At its sources stood such famous scientists as Lev Landau, Peter Kapitsa and others. The basis of MIPT's education is a unique system, which, according to the founders, was the most suitable for mastering this or that sciences to the fullest.

For the years of existence of MIPT faculties of the university have produced Nobel laureates, cosmonauts, world famous engineers and inventors. In 1995 he received the status of a state educational institution. And already in the beginning of 2000 the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences adopted a resolution that deals with the integration of education and science in the training of profile staff.

What is the system of the Physicotechnical Institute?

At MIPT, faculties of different orientations have been working on its principles for more than a decade. They were formulated by P.L. Kapitsa, and they look like this:

• Students should be trained by their specialty as scientists of basic institutes with the use of modern technical equipment for training;
• Work must be conducted with each student individually;
• Every student is obliged from the second or third year to take a direct part in scientific activities;
• After graduation, he must be able to use and know the methods of research in theory and practice, as well as have sufficient knowledge of engineering to solve certain technical problems.

Description of the MIPT educational system

Faculties of the university have their own system, the consonant of which is practiced a combination of such things as:

• Fundamental education;
• Classroom work without homework;
• Engineering disciplines;
• Attraction of students to research work on the basis of branch institutions.

It should be noted that the number of academicians and corresponding members from the RAS in the faculty of MIPT is much greater than in any other Russian university.

Information about the educational institution

It is important at the admission to find out in MIPT, which faculties and specialties are most suitable for you or your prospective child. All of them are aimed at training specialists in various scientific and technical fields.

On the basis of the university there are various forms of training and preparatory courses that take place at the correspondence physical-technical school of MIPT. Faculties and specialties of the institution help to obtain a bachelor's or master's degree.

The university itself is located in the Moscow region, the city of Dolgoprudniy.

Specialties of the University

An important question will be what are the faculties in MIPT. Below are their list:

• Aeromechanics and aircraft. This department of the university appeared in the 60s with the purpose of training qualified personnel in the field of aerospace transport and not only.
• Aerophysics and space research. Here you can get specialties that are related to mathematical modeling, cosmonautics, new technologies, mechanics and many others.
• Biological and Medical Physics.
• High technology and innovation.
• Nano- and other technologies.
• Problems of energy and physics. This faculty has a thorough cycle, it contains all the modern specialties in this area, including applied ones.
• General and applied physics.
• Humanities.
• Radio engineering and cybernetics and others.

Conditions of admission

In MIPT faculties and passing points are interrelated. They may differ somewhat in this or that branch. They can also vary from year to year depending on various circumstances or requirements.

For example, take 2013 and some faculties of MIPT. The passing score in most of them is 275 in the first wave and the same in the second. So, to enter the specialties related to innovation and high technologies, they should be recruited in almost 300, a similar situation with nano- and biotechnology.

In the admission committee and on the site of the educational institution, you can specify more relevant information about passing points when you enter in 2016.

For future physicians

There is a department of biological and medical physics at MIPT, which trains specialists in the field of the most promising professions of the future - bioengineering, technology and biological physics.

Its structure includes chairs, whose staff helps students to learn the features of various directions. In particular, such as:

• Molecular physiology;
• Systemic biology;
• biophysics;
• Biomedicine;
• Physics of living organisms;
• Molecular-cellular technologies and many others.

FMHF

In MIPT, the chemical faculty combines molecular studying of certain objects. It is based on a large number of profile areas. The Faculty of Molecular and Chemical Physics has combined disciplines that are somehow connected with modern natural science. Here, objects and organisms are studied, beginning with cosmic plasmas and ending with molecules.

Many graduates of this faculty take an active part in the research and scientific work of the Russian Academy of Medical Science and the Russian Academy of Sciences, stand at the helm of industrial companies and are engaged in high-tech developments.

FMBF

Another faculty, similar in terms of disciplines to the previous one, molecular and biological physics, was formed in the 90s. To date, he has united 15 graduating departments. Like many other faculties at MIPT, he concentrated in himself the work of academicians of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and also members of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine teach here.

He provides training for students in such areas as:

• Physics of low temperatures;
• Information technologies in biology and medicine;
• ecological problems;
• Control of thermonuclear fusion;
• Composite materials ;
• Quantum chemistry and chemical physics;
• Electronics at the molecular level and much more.

The basic departments that are part of this faculty are located not only in MIPT, but also in many specialized Institutes, including the Russian Academy of Sciences, research institutes and others.

For specialists in the field of information technology

There is a faculty of cybernetics based on the MIPT, which is integrated with radio engineering. He, like the whole university, prepares masters and bachelors in applied sciences. A key feature of this unit is an obligatory combination of a deep and detailed theory with detailed experimental preparation. All this is an indisputable condition for the formation of a student as a highly qualified specialist who is able to offer innovations and be able to implement them in real life.

Such skills are widely claimed in the field of information technology and not only. Innovations are needed in medicine, business, economics, and management at different levels. The diploma awarded at the end of this faculty is recognized in large companies not only in Russia, but also far beyond its borders.

Here students can choose the following disciplines:

• Computer networks and communication systems;
• Satellite and mobile communication;
• Navigation systems;
• Space monitoring;
• The neurocomputer industry;
• Optical information technologies;
• Management of technical and economic systems and much more.

Feedback from students and alumni

Like any other university, MIPT one of the students like, and someone not very. Many students after graduation were able to find a good job, someone needed additional education. Everything depends on the department, faculty, teachers. A lot of factors depend on the student, first of all, on his eagerness to learn.

However, if you go to the reviews on the Internet, then the key advantages of this university are its students and graduates call for the possibility of a fundamental study of certain disciplines, as well as the fact that already during training they have the opportunity to work in promising areas of activity that will be in demand not just a dozen years.

They note the minuses of this institution. So, most of them believe that the program is overloaded with unnecessary disciplines. In addition, the level of teaching is far from ideal in all subjects. Especially with regard to research methods.

Some also believe that the program is not fully thought out and changes too often. Others are unhappy with the small number of sports grounds, but note that other sections and circles are more than enough.

Among the positive feedback is the solidarity of students and mutual assistance, good preparation in English and other languages, high quality of teaching.

Graduates of the university can not always find a job in their specialty, especially in the scientific sphere, it is not always easy to find it. Those who graduated from the school in the areas related to information technology, it is much easier. If they are professionals, they are in demand not only in Russia, but also abroad.
