In 2011, the festival extended considerably and became a nationwide event. Today, the festival is held in more than 80 regions of the country. It is one of the most global Russian projects promoting science.

The aim of the Development Program of Moscow University is the creation of Vorobyovy Gory (Sparrow Hills) Scientific and Technological Valley – the university cluster uniting in one locality a network of specialized research organizations, start-ups as well as cultural, educational and sports organizations.

The total peak performance for Lomonosov-2 Supercomputer exceeds 5 petaFLOPS; a new generation of supercomputers is being developed.

The Noah’s Ark Project is aimed at the preservation, research and careful use of the biological diversity of the planet. More than 80 expeditions for collecting samples have been conducted; more than 200 newly discovered animal species, plants, mushrooms and bacteria have been described. The average volume of data loading in the system is about 7,500 samples a month; the system has already acquired more than 1,000,000 samples.

Hello, today I would like to talk about how I studied at this university In teaching, the topic of mathematical analysis, all the nuances, various theorems are studied in sufficient detail, and also the differentials are described in detail. Also, topics such as: -Discrete Math -Theory of games probability theory I also learned to program in Pascal.work with databases such as MySql and SQL lite. The training method is such that the first two courses have been biased towards general subjects, and already starting from the third one begins a more in-depth study of the profession. I would also like to mention the high qualification of teachers and the head of the department Yu.I. Zhuravleva. Excellent practice and the prospect for better learning is that the faculty cooperates with a number of IT companies, which makes it possible to have no difficulties in finding work in the future. If we talk about the hostel, then for living are provided double and triple rooms. On each floor there are thirty-six living rooms, two kitchens (each with 2 gas stoves). Kitchens are open 24 hours a day, and there is a laundry in the basement. In the buildings there is an opportunity to access the Internet. All important information for residents is placed on the stands located in the elevator halls on the first floor of the hostel. The university dormitories are 7 branches, which consist of separate buildings.

I do not know how others choose a university, and I chose it precisely because of the beautiful view of Vorobyovy Gory. I came to come from Tver and so I dreamed of studying and looking out the window at the beauty. There was such a romance in my head. By the way after school, I still have to live in Moscow. I entered the sociological faculty of the passing ball. I did not like that our faculty needed an electronic pass. If it is not, then you can not get to study, which in the future is not threatened with anything good and perhaps deduction. The hostel was provided to us as a nonresident. Repair is not available in all rooms. Mice and cockroaches are present. Near the park and the embankment. Thanks to the Moscow State University, we often got free tickets to the theatre.

The best and most famous university in Russia. More prestigious in Russia simply does not exist. It's very difficult to enter there, you need to write the EGE almost perfectly, close to 100 points. But if you do and study diligently, then you will be a sought-after specialist and you will not have any problems in life. There is one familiar professor from there, a very highly educated person, knows his business - we can conclude that the teachers there are very upscale.

Of course enter the dream of many people in Moscow State University, beckons and the brand of the main university in Russia, and the opportunity to move to the capital and the level of education. It's really hard to get there, you just need to collect the maximum points for the USE, and on some specialities to go through challenging entrance tests. But the process of learning is very pleasing. For example, I really liked that one subject, say a story, every lecture leads a new teacher who understands exactly this part of the topic (ie defended his thesis in this field). This is very interesting, although there have been teachers who are hard to hear. But they did not know the composition of the groups and when streaming lectures it was easy to circle them around, leaving the entire list of the group present. Of course, there were many questions, many examinations were given hard. The protection of term papers and diplomas is also not an easy process. I still remember visiting practice. It really existed, unlike many universities, where everything is put for a tick. And of course a diploma. It is very appreciated by employers and is the start of a successful career.

Moscow State University is a great choice if you’d like to receive fundamental theoretical education with all its advantages and disadvantages. What is more, if you are a foreign student you have a clear set of it’s necessary for the application, lists of examination questions always attached on the site of each faculty. Speaking of the site, it’s one the things that can be improved, in the meaning of digital appearance. In addition, the number of bilateral programs could be improved, due to Russia is not part of Erasmus exchange program, increased number of international agreements will help to improve the quality of education in general.

I am sure that MSU is the best university in Russia, and many programs occupy leading positions in the country. If you decide to get an education in Russia, then this university will be the best option for you. It contains a vast amount of faculties in any field with many detached buildings, libraries and campuses. MSU provides numerous opportunities for its students to improve their studies, create their own projects, possibilities for self-development and also for making sports or even spending their leisure time. However, MSU may not suit everybody's needs. In MSU you will get a fundamental education, a strong basis for your chosen field. But if one plans to get a concrete specialization and the applied knowledge in the field, this may be not quite a proper option. In MSU's Bachelor programs there is a huge amount of theory that not everyone prefers to learn. So if one has an intention to just learn "how to work and do his job" or to simply get a subspecialty, you had better to choose another university. I am finishing my studies at faculty The Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics at MSU. Educational process involves staff of professionals with great expertise in research and practical work. The disadvantage is the not quite satisfactory situation with accommodation at the university. There are also programs at the university that do not provide equally high level of education. Therefore, you need to carefully study the program that you are going to apply for. Thanks.
