Faculty of innovations and high technologies evolution:

2006 - creation 2007 – crisis 2008 – change of policy:

no more management - IT and mathematics only 3 semesters of physics instead of 5-6

Now: excellent results in IT but crisis in business education

Physicists or doctors?

«ЕГЭ»-score (SAT,ACT in USA) in MFTI is one of the highest 260 points for the faculty of molecular biology300 points (max possible) – for the faculty of physics210 – average score for the students of medical universities

It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education A. Einstein
