About Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT / Moscow Phystech)

Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) is a leading Russian university in STEM education and research. It is ranked among the best 100 universities for Natural Sciences by both Quacquarelli Symonds and Times Higher Education. The strong alumni community is spread globally and includes distinguished scientists, businessmen, politicians, people of art, astronauts, and Nobel laureates. 


The success of MIPT education has been achieved to a large extent due to a set of principles known as the Phystech System. Those principles were formulated by MIPT founding fathers - the Nobel laureates Pyotr Kapitsa, Lev Landau, and Nikolay Semenov. The two basic tenets are attracting the best talent and engaging students in advanced research supervised by outstanding scientists at partner organizations that currently encompass over 100 institutions of the Russian Academy of Sciences and leading corporate research and development centers. Owing to their early exposure to present-day scientific and industrial problems, MIPT graduates enjoy attractive career prospects.

The research conducted at MIPT serves both national interests and global goals: humanity's need for high-performance computing, cleaner energy, fighting diseases, prolonged healthy life, managing complicated IT systems, exploring space, etc. There are 92 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 them. 


In 2018 MIPT was chosen as a National Research Center for Artificial Intelligence. AI Center undertakes breakthrough research in conversational AI, neural networks, deep machine learning, robotics, computer vision, and computing systems for AI.
