About The National University of Science and Technology MISIS
NUST MISIS today is a top-notch scientific and educational center attracting the best graduates, scientists and lecturers. The University focuses on integrating science, education and innovations, as well as establishing a creative environment for unlocking the potential of every student.
NUST MISIS is located in the center of Moscow and has a great infrastructure. The University has over 30 world-class scientific labs and 3 engineering centers, which employ the leading scientists of the world. NUST MISIS successfully carries out joint projects with the largest Russian and foreign companies.
NUST MISIS is strengthening its leadership positions in a number of areas, including material sciences, metallurgy and mining, as well as strongly reinforcing its presence in bio materials, nanotechnologies and IT.
The University takes leading positions in the world in THE, QS and ARWU subject rankings in 16 areas at once, entering the TOP-100 in the categories of “Mining&Mineral Engineering” (QS ranking) and “Metallurgical Engineering” (ARWU ranking). In the field of “Materials Science” NUST MISIS enters the group of 101 best universities (QS ranking).
NUST MISIS comprises 10 colleges and 6 branches. About 20,000 students study at NUST MISIS on different levels of education. More than 26 percent of NUST MISIS undergraduate and graduate students come to study in Moscow from abroad.
The university offers 11 English-medium MSc (S.T.E.M.) programs, two of which are internationally accredited to ASIIN: Multicomponent nanostructured coatings, Nanofilms and Quantum physics for advanced materials engineering. A list of Master programs available in Russian is here.
Please note that our Bachelor and most PhD programs are taught in Russian. So in order to take courses at the Bachelor’s level, you need to take a preparatory course in Russian and then continue your studying in Russian. More information about the preparatory course and how to apply is here.
However, this year NUST MISIS launched English-taught postgraduate programmes in two areas: “Physics and Astronomy” and “Materials Technology”.
NUST MISIS offers stipends for international students entering English-medium MSc (S.T.E.M.) Programs who are getting admitted via the prestigious Russian Governmental Scholarship program (https://russia.study/en) and those students who cover their tuition out of their own funds. More information on scholarships is available here.
All foreign students are provided with a room on the campus.
NUST MISIS dormitories are the pride of the university. You can find everything you need for productive learning and comfortable rest there: high-speed Internet, computer classes and a reading room. The developed infrastructure of campuses comprises a swimming pool, a sports complex, a hairdresser, a laundry, a cafe and a canteen. And, of course, a fun student life.
International Master’s students live in NUST MISIS Commune House, which is not just a dormitory, but also a constructivist era monument of architecture, where large-scale popular science events take place here, and young scientists and entrepreneurs exchange new knowledge and technologies with colleagues from Russia and other countries.
20 000 students from 81 countries of the world study at NUST MISIS and you can become one of them!...
