Higher education for a programmer in Moscow

Question

IT education

Hello. This year I will be going to university. I am currently completing my secondary specialty with a degree in programming. I'm good at everything, I'm doing extra work. There are diplomas of Olympiads of various levels. I would like to know where in Moscow there are good departments for programmers, it is desirable that they have more practice and study as many new technologies as possible. I am also interested in the participation of the university in programming competitions.

So far, I have opted for MEPhI KiB. Largely because of the reduced program and hostel. But browsing their site somehow confused my choice - does it feel like they have a bias more towards physics? I would like to hear comments from MEPhI students.

I will also add that a budgetary reduced training program after secondary specialized and a hostel is needed.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Answer 1

Good advice - in no case do not go to MEPhI, especially to K. This will save you from wasted 5 years and meeting people like Rybina, Skvortsov and the like. The university has a disregard and complete disrespect for students.
They will not teach you absolutely anything, but they will endlessly torment you with outdated knowledge for a long time. I don’t know what to advise you, but I know for sure that this university is a bad choice.

Answer 2

The university and new technologies are incompatible concepts, because they don’t teach what they want, there is a program from which you won’t get away much. All novelties taught in universities are voluntary beginnings of teachers. My advice - DO NOT become a programmer =) Any exact science, but not programming.

Answer 3

I graduated from the B-Fact in 2007. There was a lot of theory, there was also practice, but not in such a way that programmers were trained there.
There was 1 good teacher from the KGB, he taught us to write a keylogger in kernel mode under Windows and work with softice.
A couple of dudes from the KGB also did a pretty good job with cryptography.
Yes, all the same, the emphasis there was on general knowledge, often absolutely not for a specialty.
By the way, at that time we had a site where you can find lectures and tickets for past years - you can form an opinion.
PP: Moscow State University still rules, try it there ...
PPS: If you still decide to do it, I advise you to go to basketball at physical school, regardless of height - there is a “compliant” female teacher. I went to sambo, where a couple of Soviet coaches forced me to consistently attend the prescribed norm of classes.

Answer 4

They did not look towards PS7 at MSTU. Bauman?

Answer 5

How about the Department of Data Analysis at MIPT or HSE? It's not easy to get there, to put it mildly.

Answer 6

MEPhI has a general physics for all technical faculties - 4 semesters. Some also have the 5th semester of physics, but this is only for faculties A, T, F.
More specifically, for the departments of MEPhI, ask at corum.mephist.ru/

Answer 7

At KiB, my friend Sveer teaches programming. I sent him a link to this question, if his hands don’t reach to answer - drop him a PM, remind him of yourself.

Answer 8

At the 22nd department of K, they teach how to manage IT projects (as I understand it, N years after graduation). This is what I am doing now… There is a dormitory, but I don’t know about the “reduced program”. Practice (labs) - full + coursework every semester (which is some use of students for teacher projects), if you write well - they can start paying money. Something like this.

Answer 9

From myself I will advise IU-6 and AK-5. One and the same, only AK in Reutov, the passing score is lower. MSTU :)
