Become a railway worker? Who could it be? This article will provide tips, recommendations, and answers to frequently asked questions from both schoolchildren and adults. Which railway institute to choose in Moscow, what exams should you prepare for?

At what age should I go?

Young people and girls, after graduating from school, lyceum or technical school, can enter any university. Of course, you need to have USE results in Russian language, literature, mathematics and physics. These are the items needed to train a specialist. It is no secret that the Institute has humanitarian, economic and other specialties. It is recommended to find out in advance what subjects are needed for admission (preferably 2 years in advance). But the article deals specifically with specialties that are associated with the railway, metro, tram, and monorail.

Often people, having learned some profession at one time, and starting to work, understand that their souls do not lie. There was a desire to become, for example, a metro worker. And the years go by, the age is no longer youthful. Is it possible? According to the rules for admission to universities and colleges, no one is prohibited from studying, unless, of course, you are already 45 years old. After all, training will be either evening or correspondence. You need to devote 6 years to study. At the time of receiving the diploma, the specialist will be over 51 years old. Retirement is just around the corner.

Who can become a railway worker?

You need to understand that in the transport industry, many professions require good health. Very poor eyesight, a bad heart, hypertension, poor hearing or distracted attention can become an obstacle to working with rolling stock, on tracks, with contact networks, radio equipment, and so on. Only absolutely healthy people become machinists.

The Railway Institute in Moscow gives you a chance to make your dream of being a railway worker come true. After all, you can go to work as an engineer in a design bureau, VNIIZhT. Currently, in the capital's metro there is no need to undergo a medical examination, but on Russian Railways it is required. But everything will depend on the state of your health.

Full-time or part-time?

Often, future students ask themselves: what form of education should they take? It all depends on the circumstances, age, marital status, place of residence, preferences and, of course, money (applies to those who do not qualify for the budget). It’s worth noting right away that if you already have a higher education diploma, then the second higher education will be paid in any case.

So what kind of railway institute exists in Moscow? There are two of them, but they are combined into one. On "Novoslobodskaya" there is MGUPS (Obraztsova St., 15). Full-time and evening students are trained here. To receive correspondence education, you need to go to the Sokol station (Chasovaya St., 20). Let's decipher the abbreviation MGUPS: means of communication.

Of course, after school or college, it is advisable for young people to receive full-time education. Part-time and evening classes are suitable for working people and mothers on maternity leave.

Specialties, faculties and departments

On the street Obraztsova, 15 (MSUPS/MIIT) wider choice of specialties. Therefore, you can choose any one you like. The “correspondence course” (Chasovaya St., 20) offers mainly narrow-profile specialties designed for working students in the field of transport.

Let's look at the approximate list that the Institute of Railway Transport offers, specialties and departments are presented generally and in aggregate, so that the future student can decide on the type of occupation:

locomotives, cars (work with rolling stock of railways and subways);
organization of transportation (dispatchers, managers, traffic service);
automation and communications (invention, repair of communication equipment, signals, communications, electrical networks, power supply);
bridges and tunnels (construction of structures, metro, railway tunnels, buildings, recovery points, and so on);
tracks (construction of tracks, rails and sleepers, as well as quality control and condition);
safety in the technosphere (environmental protection, work with employees of transport enterprises).

In fact, the Railway Institute in Moscow offers many more areas, even those that are practically not related to the railway, but have a bias during training, for example, linguistics, jurisprudence.

The university explained the name change with the new status of the educational institution. “MIIT now has the status of a federal university and is subordinate to the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation. [The university] has retained its abbreviation MIIT because it is known throughout the world,” explained Andrey Kryuchkov, head of the public relations department of the Russian University of Transport (MIIT). Now the university will train personnel not only for railway, but also for other types of transport, he noted in a conversation with RBC.

The MIIT representative also emphasized that the disappearance of the name of Nicholas II from the name of the university “is not an anti-monarchist action.” “We honor him as the founder of our university. Initially, when MIIT was founded, it was founded by the highest order of Nicholas II and was imperial,” Kryuchkov said.

The name of Emperor Nicholas II will be immortalized in the National Transport Museum being created on the basis of the MIIT museum, Timur Khikmatov, head of the press service of the Russian Ministry of Transport, told RBC.

“Indeed, the new name of the university does not contain the name of Nicholas II. The fact is that in July the university was transferred from the jurisdiction of Roszheldor (Federal Agency of Railway Transport. — RBC) to the Ministry of Transport. When the decision was made on the name of the university, the world practice was taken into account when universities are given names that are not too long. The main thing for us was that the MIIT abbreviation, which has become a global brand, retain its name,” said Khikmatov.

In total, the university changed its name 12 times: it was named after Nicholas II in 2015, “to emphasize the age of the university” - then it celebrated its 120th anniversary.

The Moscow Engineering School was founded by decree of Nicholas II in 1896. Soon after this, it received imperial status (IMIU). In 1913, on the initiative of the Minister of Railways Sergei Rukhlov and the IMIU council, the school was renamed the Moscow Institute of Railway Engineers (MIIPS), its three-year training program was changed to a four-year course with a fifth “diploma” year. On December 27, 1913, MIIPS was named after Emperor Nicholas II.

After the revolution of 1917, the university was renamed again - the Moscow Institute of Transport Engineers of the People's Commissariat of Education of the RSFSR; in 1924, a reference to the October Revolution was added to its name (Moscow Institute of Transport Engineers (MIIT) named after the October Revolution of the People's Commissariat of Education of the RSFSR).

Then the institute used in its official name in various combinations the names of Felix Dzerzhinsky (1926-1928 and 1988-1993), Joseph Stalin (1946-1951), as well as the names of the Order of Lenin and the Red Banner of Labor.

In 2015, in honor of the 120th anniversary of the founding of the educational institution, it was renamed again - the Moscow State University of Transport of Emperor Nicholas II (

Institute of Economics and Finance.

This is not training, but complete profanation!

Students are given grades for money, either through cronyism, or just like that - at the direction of the institute's management.

Most students do not study because they know very well that in a year they will attack “this teacher” and force him to give a C grade based on the results of the “false” debt acceptance. Whoever wants to mark it earlier pays a bribe.

Deductions are possible, but only for unpaid tuition.

I would like to say about the Humanities Institute of MIIT. I graduated from it myself. I majored in public relations. Next, it’s about studying in this specialty. Guys, all the places in this specialty are paid (well, there are a couple of free ones, but it’s not very clear who gets there), but education there is not worth the money you’ll pay if you go there. Firstly, prices will constantly rise. the last semester, in which there are only state exams and a diploma, you will pay the full price, and a considerable one. Half...

In the second half of the nineteenth century, with the beginning of the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway, Russia had only one institute where railway engineers were trained - in St. Petersburg. There was a huge shortage of specialists, so the idea arose of creating a second higher education institution that would satisfy all these needs. Many cities wanted to host the new institute on their territory: Kazan, Kyiv, Ekaterinoslav, Voronezh, Saratov. Eagle, but preference was given to Moscow by the emperor, since it already had the best teaching staff in the country. This is how MIIT appeared, reviews of which are presented in this article.
