Of course, studying in such an educational institution is prestigious and difficult. However, for true chemistry lovers, this is not a university, but a dream

This year, two research institutes were affiliated with MSTU MIREA - information technologies and computer-aided design systems, as well as the All-Russian Research Institute of Technical Aesthetics. Thus, the university becomes a large scientific cluster designed to train specialists for high-tech production in the peaceful and military industries.

The following technical specialties are especially popular among 2013 applicants:

At the moment, the process of strengthening structural divisions is actively underway by merging closely related faculties into institutes. Thus, the history and philology faculties were united into the Institute of Humanities. The Institute of Natural Sciences included the Faculty of Life Safety, as well as the Faculty of Chemistry, Biology and Geography. In these conditions, the training of specialists will take place in the specialties and areas transferred to the departments.

Among the graduates are such celebrities as Knipper and Meyerhold. In 1902, RATI, which was then still a music and drama school, moved to a mansion on Maly Kislovsky Lane, owned by the Soldatenkovs, where it is located to this day.

The competition for a place is very high, since many people want to become famous, but only a few people are accepted for the course, since it is impossible to train a large number of actors, and according to one of the graduates of this university, an actor is a “piece product”, and classes are often conducted individually with everyone.

Scientific schools were created at MADI by academicians Stechkin and Chudakov, and other scientific figures of the country.

In 2013, the minimum Unified State Exam score to be able to submit an application was 40; applicants were admitted to the budget department based on the results of this score.

Among the famous teachers are Nobel Prize laureates Sakharov, Cherenkov, Tamm and others. Kurchatov, Zeldovich, Kikoin and a number of other academicians and famous scientists also taught students. From its founding to this day, the university has been working for the defense industry.

The Institute has branches in a number of cities in the Russian Federation; it is an elite university that is world famous. His diplomas are quoted in the world without further confirmation. The competition for one place is always big, in particular, in the current year, 2013, it was easier to enter nuclear specialties, the competition is from 1 to 2, 58 people per place, depending on the faculty. Despite the apparent simplicity of entering here, studying is much more difficult and many leave MEPhI after the 1st semester. It was more difficult to get into economics; there were over 28 people per place.

The creation and development of the institute took place in a difficult time of change, changing ideologies and the emergence of new opportunities, but this did not prevent teachers from preserving classical fundamental teaching and introducing the most advanced, innovative methods into it.

The founders of the institute set ambitious goals for themselves. The main task was to create a new type of higher education institution. Such a university:

Focused on the most popular specializations;
Interesting for students;
Independent of government agencies;
Combines European and Soviet traditions of education;
Uses new teaching methods.
The main goal that the teaching team has set for itself is to create a unique, cohesive university that provides training for highly qualified, comprehensively educated specialists.

As you might guess, this university pays more attention to high technologies. The university itself was founded in 1884, and its education was not divided into men and women, which was very innovative at that time. Stanford graduates: Sergey Brin (founder of Google), Kofi Annan and Philip Knight (founder of Nike).

2. Caltech

This institute, within the walls of which the series “The Big Bang Theory” takes place, is truly the most advanced university in the United States. This is surprising, since the California Institute of Technology is a small educational institution by the standards of other institutions on this list. Only 1,000 undergraduate and 1,200 graduate students study there annually.

California Institute of Technology was established in 1891. It is considered to be very difficult to study in because students are given a very large amount of information in a short time. And although the list of Caltech graduates is not replete with names familiar to ordinary people, among the graduates of this university there are real celebrities in the world of science.

1. Oxford University

Of course, the most popular and famous educational institution is Oxford University, which tops our ranking of the best universities in the world. It is the oldest university. Education there began in 1096. The structure of the university consists of 38 colleges. More than 20 thousand students study there at a time, and the staff of regular teachers includes more than 4 thousand people.

Since 2007, video materials with lectures and events taking place at the university began to be posted on the YouTube Internet portal. This was done on Berkeley's initiative in accordance with its ideology as a public institution.
