Study at Moscow Polytech

In the course of education, all the students (with no regard to their profile) are actively involved in project activity. The customer of most of the projects carried out by students is the Department of Information Technology of Moscow Polytechnic University. All projects have a purely practical focus and are tied to the current tasks of the University.

Teaching of disciplines is aimed at developing both individual qualities of each student and teamwork.

Starting fr om the second year, when division into profiles occurs, the students independently choose topics for theor course projects, at maximum linked to their profiles.

One of the most important stages of teaching students in the course is their proactive activity outside the University. Our students take part in various hackathons and competitions on the regular basis.

Scientific achievements should be separately mentioned: the best students take part in All-Russian and international conferences and workshops. Their works are published in various scientific journals. Education is focused on both professional and scientific growth of students.
