How to become a part of the ITMO University community
- Our master's programs are divided into four types of programs: scientific, corporate, industrial and entrepreneurial. The first ones are focused on the market need for research (not only in research institutes or universities, but also in IT companies and R&D centers). The second we implement jointly with leading organizations. They are aimed at highly specialized business needs. Industrial is experimental design activity. And entrepreneurial ones are arranged according to the principles of R&I (research and innovation). Their graduates will be engaged in their own or corporate startups.
- In the process of studying, we give our applicants the opportunity to become employees of international laboratories and engage in science, taking into account the tasks of industrial customers. In addition, as part of practice-oriented R&D initiatives, we allocate up to 5 million rubles for two years of work on a project under the 5-100 program.
- This year we have prepared 2645 budget places and more . General information on admission is available , and a full list of non-classical opportunities (in addition to traditional exams): from a portfolio competition to various student competitions - at the end of the material .
- Among them are 5 gold medalists in Biotechnology, Information and Cyber ββSecurity, Programming and Information Technology (two tracks for bachelors and masters) and Advertising and Public Relations.
- This is the second Olympiad βI am a professionalβ. This year there were: 523 thousand applications for participation, 54 Olympiad directions, 10 886 finalists - of which 106 gold, 139 silver and 190 bronze medalists, 952 winners and 2085 prize-winners.

- Artur Gleim, head of the Quantum Informatics Laboratory, and Sergey Kozlov, director of the International Institute of Photonics and Optoinformatics, are working on this topic in their own small innovative enterprise, Quantum Communications.
- Quite recently, Quantum Communications received an investment of one hundred million rubles. This money will help the company bring the product to the international market and develop quantum control systems for distributed data centers.
- In simple terms, quantum networks allow the transmission of cryptographic keys using single photons. When you try to "listen" to the network, photons are destroyed, which is a sign of "intrusion" into the communication channel. For more information on how the technology works, see .
