MIPT opens Russia's first advanced master's program in Computer Science and Software Engineering

The program was developed by the Department of Discrete Mathematics of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and the basic departments of the IT companies Sbertech, Tinkoff, Yandex, ABBYY and 1C at the Phystech School of Applied Mathematics and Informatics (FPMI). It is a set of courses that the best applicants for the FPMI master's program will be able to choose based on the results of entrance examinations.

How the advanced track will be arranged

Each department prepares a set of courses that provide an in-depth understanding of various areas of Computer Science: data analysis, industrial development, distributed computing and other areas.

Track students will have access to courses from all participating departments. Undergraduates will be able to choose disciplines and form an individual learning path depending on their personal scientific interests and career aspirations.

List of courses:

9 semester

  • Software architecture (1C)
  • Bayesian methods in machine learning (Yandex)
  • Coding Theory (Department of Discrete Mathematics)
  • Computer Models of Natural Language Processing (ABBYY)
  • Image processing and analysis (ABBYY)
  • Introduction to proof theory and program verification (Tinkoff)
  • Statistical Data Analysis (ABBYY)

10 semester

  • Memory and data storage (1C)
  • Reinforcement learning (Yandex)
  • Neuro-Bayesian methods (Yandex)
  • Scalable distributed systems (Sbertech)
  • Add. Heads of Computational Complexity (Department of Discrete Mathematics)
  • Random graphs. Part 1 (Department of Discrete Mathematics)
  • Convolutional Networks in Computer Vision (ABBYY)
  • Computer vision (Yandex)

11 semester

  • Metaprogramming (1C)
  • NLP (Yandex)
  • Software systems performance optimization (Sbertech)
  • Multiprocessor programming (Sbertech)
  • Algorithmic Game Theory (Department of Discrete Mathematics)
  • Random graphs. Part 2 (Department of Discrete Mathematics)
  • Deep Learning in Natural Language Processing (ABBYY)

How to proceed

In July, each department involved in the development of the track opened a competition for places.

Applicants will have to pass the standard entrance examinations for enrolling in the FPMI master's program. First you need to choose competitive groups, and then see their corresponding examinations.

Based on the recruitment results, each of the departments will be able to recommend for admission to the advanced track program no more than 20% of the undergraduates who applied for it and showed the strongest results during the entrance examinations.

For selection for the track and coordination of individual programs, you will need to contact the department.
