Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT)

Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (National Research University) (MIPT) known informally as Phystech, is a leading Russian university famous in Theoretical and Applied Physics, Applied Mathematics, IT, Life Sciences and related disciplines.
MIPT was founded in 1951 by Nobel Laureates Pyotr Kapitsa, Lev Landau and Nikolay Semenov and an acting member of the Soviet Academy of Science Sergey Khristianovich.
Pyotr Kapitsa, one of the founders of MIPT, outlined the following basic principles of the “Phystech System”:

Leading scientists from key institutions (such as universities, research centers and commercial knowledge-based organization where students do research and write their theses) shall be involved in student education using the high-tech equipment of these institutions.
Training in key institutions implies an individual approach to each student.
Each second-third year student shall be involved in scientific work.

Upon graduation, students shall be able to apply contemporary methods of theoretical and experimental research and possess ample engineering knowledge to meet relevant technical challenges
