The university is really prestigious, but very expensive. Not only is the education itself not cheap, but you also have to pay extra for additional classes, about 40 thousand rubles in mathematics. per semester. Price at the Department of Mathematics - 2,500 rubles. - one lesson - this is for those who are not welcome - this is decided by the teachers. and 2000 rub. for ordinary students. Moreover, it is better to study almost perfectly, average children will not be able to achieve this department, these are those who had 4, almost 5 at school, i.e. minimum 5 on the Unified State Exam -75 points. If you're unlucky, of course, write it off or use some cunning. Indirect bribery in this department is thriving in the academy. I had a disgusting impression of the institute, as a mother, my daughter studied at this university for a little over a year. The strong point is the language department - the German language, only because of it they entered here, they entered 3m everywhere. exams 201 points. Basically an ordinary university - not worth the money, extra. class at the cafe mathematicians have existed for more than 14 years. A friend's son graduated from this institute. Moreover, children really fail in mathematics; those who have 5 and know it can hardly pass with a 3. A girl, an excellent student, whose mother is an engineer and mathematician, took 5 hours to take the mat. analysis, her mother had difficulty solving the problem for her. I went to the institute twice, I wanted to talk to the rector - he is always on vacation. I had a telephone conversation with the teachers of the mathematics department, I was not delighted, I don’t like liars. The price of the exam at the institute is 1 thousand euros per subject - in the form of classes. I, as a candidate ek. in science and a former university teacher, I don’t recommend this university to the middle class, only if you have nowhere to put the money, then you should go there. Moreover, the teachers of the math department. students are told: “You and your parents will shed tears of blood in the 3rd year when you take econometrics.” If you like it, you come here. Moreover, when submitting documents, I asked if an ordinary child would be able to complete the program of your university - the answer, of course. And about expulsion, they expel in batches, with one exam not passed. What happens is that they simply recruit more paid students, and starting from the end of the first year there are approximately 3-5 people, up to the 3rd year. The daughters were hired as teachers from MADI and MSU, very strong men and women. Both teachers saw the VAVT manuals on math. analysis. Verdict - this is not a 1st year program; in other universities (and there is an emphasis on this subject) it is a 2.3 year program. The problems are twisted and wrapped up in charades - teacher Madi thought for about 20 minutes. In general, after my daughter was expelled, I barely survived it. It was stupid to feel sorry for the money, because... we made money from it. And I also think that the prosecutor’s office is crying for this institution. And there is no government for them. ;
Even though there is still a whole academic year ahead of the entrance campaign, high school students and their parents are already having a headache: which university to choose? Various rankings of state and non-state universities in Moscow and the regions are intended to help them decide. There are quite a few of them floating around the internet now.
Because the criteria can really be different. For example, you can take into account the position of the university among other higher education institutions (and relations with leading foreign educational institutions as well). Its prestige for students and, very importantly, for employers. Availability of dormitories, does the university help with job placement, etc.
Other possible criteria:
- level of quality of training programs;
- qualifications of teaching staff;
- opportunities for extracurricular activities: sports, creativity;
- corruption in the entrance campaign and examination sessions;
- material and technical base of the university;
- average USE results of applicants.
You can approach the ranking from the point of view of students (how effective a university is and how well its curriculum is designed), teachers, employers (how highly graduates of a particular university are rated when hired).
We will present here several ratings published in several sources. So, firstly, you can compare them and draw your own conclusions. And secondly, we will dwell in more detail on several top positions in the rankings of specialized universities. And we’ll try to figure out why they made it to the TOP.
TOP 30 universities in Moscow
Let's start with the rating published here - http://5ballov.qip.ru/ratings/100/moskva/?sort=5. It is based on visitor voting. That is, on the one hand, the criteria are not strictly defined. On the other hand, this is a kind of sampling of the “voice of the people.” The number of votes the university received is indicated in brackets:
- Moscow State Technical University named after. N.E. Bauman (526344);
- Moscow State University named after. M.V. Lomonosov (459165);
- State University of Management (353190);
- Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration under the President of the Russian Federation (244306);
- Moscow State University of Economics, Statistics and Informatics (MESI) (230940);
- National Research University Higher School of Economics (219132);
- Peoples' Friendship University of Russia (174726);
- Russian Economic University named after. G.V. Plekhanov (128348);
- Moscow Financial and Industrial University Synergy (103640);
- Academic International Institute (71502);
- First Moscow State Medical University named after. THEM. Sechenov (66362);
- Russian State Medical University named after. N.I. Pirogov (64121);
- Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation (62808);
- Moscow State University of International Relations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia (MGIMO) (60192);
- Moscow Energy Institute (Technical University) (58405);
- Russian State Social University (56536);
- Moscow Military Institute of the Federal Border Service of the FSB of the Russian Federation (55213);
- Moscow State Law Academy named after O.E. Kutafina (46303);
- Russian Legal Academy of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation (43610);
- All-Russian State Tax Academy of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation (42846);
- Moscow State University of Civil Engineering (41991);
- Moscow Humanitarian Institute named after. E.R. Dashkova (40677);
- Moscow Aviation Institute (national research university) (39971);
- Moscow Pedagogical State University (38149);
- National Research Nuclear University (MEPhI) (37438);
- National Research Technological University "MISiS" (35747);
- Russian State University of Oil and Gas named after. THEM. Gubkin (34512);
- Moscow Architectural Institute (state academy) (33484);
- Russian Chemical-Technological University named after. DI. Mendeleev (32470);
- Moscow State Institute of Radio Engineering, Electronics and Automation (Technical University) (30928).
To be honest, this rating does not seem entirely logical. For example, Technical University named after. N.E. Bauman and Moscow State University. M.V. Lomonosov really occupy the top lines in many rankings. But why then did MGIMO end up only in 14th place? What didn't you like?
Ranking of universities and Unified State Examination
A rational approach to choosing a university includes several mandatory points. For example, it is very good if the applicant likes his future profession. After all, he will have to spend several years mastering it. Often people go to a university only to get a “crust”, leaving the final professional determination to their future selves. It seems to us that such an approach is a waste of the invaluable time of youth.
The next stage is choosing a university. One of the rational criteria for such a choice is to correlate your abilities with the requirements of a particular educational institution. For example, look at the Unified State Exam results for admission to this university last year.
| University | Average score of those enrolled based on the results of the Unified State Examination 2013 (calculation – 1 subject) | Average Unified State Exam score of those enrolled in the 2013 competition (calculation – 1 subject) |
| 90,5 | 92,5 | |
| 89 | 90 | |
| First Moscow State Medical University named after. THEM. Sechenov | 86,1 | 90,8 |
| Russian Economic University named after. G.V. Plekhanov | 85,2 | 87,6 |
| National Research Nuclear University (MEPhI) | 84,6 | 86,5 |
| Moscow State Law Academy named after O.E. Kutafina | 83,5 | 88,5 |
| Russian State Medical University named after. N.I. Pirogov | 83,2 | 88,5 |
| Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration under the President of the Russian Federation | 82 | 87,8 |
| 81,6 | 85,5 | |
| Peoples' Friendship University of Russia | 77,6 | 82,1 |
| Moscow State Technical University named after. N.E. Bauman | 76,9 | 81,5 |
| 76,6 | 77,5 | |
| National Research Technological University "MISiS" | 74,6 | 75 |
| Moscow State University named after. M.V. Lomonosov | 72,5 | 72,7 |
Of course, this is not a complete list. Its full version (includes not only Moscow, but also other universities in the country) can be found by following the link - http://4ege.ru/navigator-2014/.

Instead of a conclusion
As you can see, you can approach university rankings with different standards. However, some of the educational institutions are at the top of the list in any case. This means that they are at the same time attractive to future students and highly valued among potential employers. And besides, they are able to provide students not only with proper theoretical training, but also with the necessary material and technical base.
The ranking of Moscow universities in any of its variants is not a direct indication of action. Its main goal is to help parents and high school students find their way around. It is worth considering all the important points: the possibility of pre-university preparation and admission to the Olympiad, for example. And also the university’s provision of dormitories, if we are talking about nonresident students. MBA and master's programs also have value for applicants who are serious about future success.

There was a saying at the Academy that the diploma is only good when you pass the state exam in English with a 5 (or at least a 4). I have studied English all my life, was in the strongest English group at the HSE preparatory courses, wrote the Unified State Examination in English with 92 points without special preparation, and, in the end, got a 3 on the state test at VAVT. My diploma suddenly turned blue, it was very disappointing; subsequently, when entering an English university, I was very nervous, because due to the fact that my diploma’s average score was spoiled by this three, I was crossing the line (it was reflected twice - for the subject and for the state, the average score for the diploma simply collapsed) . But still, it should be noted that I passed IELTS without preparation with a very good score, I can’t say for sure whether this is the merit of the Academy and the English department, or the fact that I have been learning English since kindergarten.
*Highway*, *fence-building* Academy is called only by people who do not work in the field for which the Academy is designed. The target audience of the Academy is international companies, ILF, and so on. I have always aspired to work for international companies, since the salaries there are much higher than the average in Russian companies, and I have never encountered questions “what is VAVT” either from recruiters or from managers. Most Russian companies offer salaries much lower than in international ones, plus not so interesting work, so if future/current VAVT members are reading me, strive exactly where you are being trained.
Studying is very difficult, there are really a lot of classes, you crawl home, and there is also a lot of homework, but let's look at the other side of the coin. International companies have a very high competition; there is almost always an interview on legal issues, either in the form of a test or orally. If it weren’t for the pressure at the Academy, like any lazy student, I would hardly have taught the way I did. By the way, I don’t agree that the program is poorly structured (3 types of stories don’t count, this applies to all law schools; Latin was excluded during my time, when it was still taught as a separate subject at many law faculties). At the moment, I regret that I did not pay enough attention to electives and “unimportant” subjects, since now I am independently looking for the information that was given to us on a silver platter, and I cannot find it to the extent that was explained at the Academy (special courses on INCOTERMS, operations on foreign trade transactions, etc.).
Conclusion: if you are ready to work your butt off and then reap pleasant rewards in the form of a big salary in good companies, the Academy is for you. It is no coincidence that many good vacancies on hh.ru write “preferably MSU, VAVT, MGIMO.” If you want to go on a spree like in American films, it is better to choose a simpler place, but in this case I am more than sure that subsequently getting a job in an international corporation for a pleasant salary will be very difficult due to gaps in knowledge and due to the tough competition, including from students and graduates of VAVT.
