MEPhI history began with the founding in 1942 of the Moscow Mechanical Institute of ammunition. Subsequently, at its base formed a leading Russian Nuclear University MEPI, in the development and formation of which was attended by prominent Soviet scientists, including the head of the USSR atomic project Academician Igor Kurchatov. The MiFi in different years worked six Nobel laureates - Basov, A. Sakharov, Semenov, Tamm, IM Frank, PA Cherenkov.

Today MEPhI - one of the leading research universities in Russia which trains engineers, practitioners and scientists in more than 200 destinations. Among the most promising:

nanomaterials and nanotechnologies;
radiation and beam technologies;
medical physics and nuclear medicine;
superconductivity and controlled thermonuclear fusion;
ecology and biophysics;
Information Security.

In addition, the study MEPhI future managers, experts in the field of management analytics, engineering economics, nuclear law, international scientific and technological cooperation, and others.

MEPhI program:

comply with international quality standards of education;

Since 2014 the university is implementing CDIO standards of the Global Initiative on the modernization of engineering education in high school. They are aimed at improving the training of highly qualified engineers. These standards apply such world leading universities as Stanford University, California State University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and others.

have international accreditation FEANI (Federation of National Engineering Associations) and the accreditation of engineering education programs Agency (ANO APIO).

Graduate enrolled in an accredited program and have the necessary professional experience, is able to get the title (international certificate) "Evroinzhener".

MEPhI students are guaranteed:

Credit-modular system of education (educational program consists of modules and sub-modules).
Students have the opportunity to make an individual trajectory to pass part of the modules at the partner university, which implemented joint educational programs. The training system is used ECTS grades (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System), after graduation the student may receive the Diploma Supplement of the European standard specifying in each discipline "credits" (volume) and evaluation of ESTS scale.
Internships in renowned research centers and laboratories around the world.
Programs "double diploma".
Program of the international academic mobility.

A distinctive feature of MEPhI - a combination of education, research and innovation activities. Students from the beginning connected to the scientific work, the third course - participation in research projects is necessary. Undergraduates, masters and post-graduate students are involved in research laboratories, university departments and research centers.

Traditional foreign university partners are world-class scientific centers: the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN, Switzerland), Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL, USA), Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL, USA), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL, USA), the National accelerator laboratory. Enrico Fermi (the Fermilab, USA), the German Electron Synchrotron (the DESY, Germany), Astrophysics Max Planck Institute (Germany), the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (the ESRF, Grenoble, France), the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (the ITER, France), Academic Medical center (the Netherlands), the Organization for the study of high-energy accelerators (the KEK, Japan), the National Institute of nuclear physics (INFN, Italy) and others.

Among Russian companies strategic partners MEPhI in the sphere of high technologies, providing world-class research and development, are: State Corporation "Rosatom" (JINR), JSC "TVEL" NRC "Kurchatov Institute", JSC "Company" Sukhoi "TRINITY (Troitsk), LPI, INR, Nuclear Safety Institute, IVTAN, FSUE "VNIIEF", OOO NTO "IRE-Polus", Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, Center "Kurchatov Institute", JSC "Radio Engineering Corporation" Vega ", FSUE" NPP " source ", Federal Financial Monitoring Service, ZAO" MCST ", OOO" OKB "CAD" and several others.
