Moscow State Technical University (MSTU) named after Bauman is one of the most prestigious Russian universities. Its history began in 1826, when, by decree of the Empress, an educational institution was created for the orphaned children of Russian subjects. Today, the Bauman Moscow State Technical University is a university whose diploma provides an excellent opportunity to find a well-paid job both in Russia and abroad. History, divisions and branches of the famous university - the topic of the article.
Foundation
The history of the university began in the twenties of the XIX century. It was established by decree of Empress Maria Feodorovna, and received special development under Nicholas I. Already in the early thirties, the educational institution began to focus on teaching technical disciplines. The official year of foundation is 1930. Then the famous MSTU named after Bauman was called quite differently - the Moscow Craft Educational Institution. This name remained until 1968.
In 1843 Moscow newspapers vied with each othertalked about the successes of the first MRUZ graduates. The press spoke about the achievements of former students of the Moscow School, who, having completed a full course of practical and theoretical training, worked for several years in the factory sector, and then began to manage factories themselves. There were not so many graduates of this educational institution then, compared to the number of lucky ones who today annually receive diplomas from Bauman Moscow State Technical University. That is why there were enough factories for everyone.
Imperial Moscow Technical School
The future Bauman Moscow State Technical University acquired this name in 1868. The status of "imperial" was assigned quite rarely and obligated to a lot. Such a title was not given to ordinary educational institutions. IMTU, along with several similar institutions (of which there were very few in the country at that time), was called upon to train engineers for domestic industrial enterprises. The fact is that in the middle of the nineteenth century, mainly foreigners worked in this area. Highly qualified Russian personnel were required, for the preparation of which a unique educational system was created at IMTU. By the end of the century, the educational institution reached the European level. Moreover, it has been ranked among the best polytechnic schools in the world.
Moscow Higher Technical School
The events of 1917 could not but affect the history of the Bauman Moscow State Technical University. A year later, Moscow again became the capital, devastation began in the country, the Bolsheviks came to power. It's all not the bestimpact on the education system. The number of students dropped sharply in all institutions, including the Moscow Higher Technical School - that was the name of the legendary "Baumanka" at that time. By the way, the name was changed again in 1930. For thirteen years, the university was called the Mechanical Engineering Institute. Bauman. It is worth saying a few words about the person after whom the best technical university in the capital is named.
Nikolai Ernestovich Bauman
This man was not a great scientist. He was one of those who were infected by the revolutionary spirit of freedom. Bauman was born in 1873, studied at the Kazan gymnasium, where he became interested in Marxist literature. At the beginning of the century, Bauman was exiled to the Vyatka province. Then, according to revolutionary tradition, he fled to Germany, where he met Lenin. Nikolai Bauman died in 1905, not having lived to see important events in the history of the country and never having visited the walls of the educational institution that bears his name for more than half a century.
After the war
Victory over the Nazi army. The country had to be raised from the ruins, which is impossible in the conditions of a backward industry. New personnel were needed - qualified engineers. It was also worth strengthening the armament, so that no one else would have the idea to set foot on Soviet soil with their enemy's boot. New faculties were opened at MSTU (then MVTU). In addition, work began on space exploration. In 1948, the Faculty of Rocket Engineering was established at the Higher Technical School, the history ofwhich is closely connected with the name of such an outstanding scientist as Sergei Pavlovich Korolev.
But the changes affected not only the structure of the university, but also the student body. All-Union proletarianization dictated the conditions that, above all, the best universities in the country had to comply with. Difficult times began in the life of MVTU teachers. After all, they were accustomed to completely different students and did not know how to work with practically illiterate students. The representatives of the proletariat at the workers' faculty constituted an absolute majority. With the students of this faculty, created back in the twenties, teachers have developed complex relationships, as evidenced by numerous essays on the history of Baumanka. Nevertheless, the university survived this difficult period. Every year it strengthened its scientific base and much later, in the mid-nineties, it officially became one of the valuable cultural heritage sites of Russia.
One can talk endlessly about the history of the Moscow Technical University. A book would not be enough to cover this topic. But it is also worth paying attention to the units that are available at the Bauman Moscow State Technical University.

Buildings
The main building of the university is divided into two parts and is located at: st. 2nd Baumanskaya, house 5. building 1. Communication between divisions is carried out on the second, third and fourth floors. MSTU also has an educational and laboratory building, opened not so long ago - in 2004. This event became a kind of symbol of the revival of Russian science. The university also includes the Robotics Research Center and three buildings, one of which is located in the city of Krasnogorsk.
Moscow State Technical University has two branches: in Kaluga and Dmitrov.
Lyceum at Moscow State Technical University named after Bauman
The buildings of this educational institution are located in the south of Moscow. The goal of the Lyceum at MSTU is in-depth training in mathematics, physics and computer science for students in grades 7-11. It was founded in 1989 and then was known as school number 1180 at the famous technical university. Until 2006, only graduate students studied here.
Education here is free, but in the eighth and tenth grade, lyceum students take transfer exams in physics and mathematics. In the last year of study, students undergo practical training at MSTU. Most of thembecomes a student of this university by successfully passing the entrance exams.
Teaching physics at the Lyceum is carried out in the form of practical classes, lectures and laboratory work. The mathematics program includes the standard school course and the foundations of higher mathematics. Of the total number of hours for which two-year training is calculated, one third is devoted to lectures.
Reviews
MSTU named after Bauman is a truly legendary university. According to popular opinion, it is the best technical university in the country. It's not easy to study here. For example, the faculty of IU at the Bauman Moscow State Technical University trains highly qualified specialists, but, according to the recollections of its former students, the workload in the first and second years is extremely heavy. It is much easier to master the program of the first two years for graduates of the lyceum, which was discussed above. But, according to the opinion of the same students, third-year studies can already be freely combined with work.
However, everything is known in comparison. There is also an opinion that the famous Moscow University is somewhat overrated. Yes, it has a long history and hundreds of outstanding graduates, but since the late eighties of the last century, the list of talented students has become significantly scarcer. However, today's applicants are little aware of this, and therefore do not doubt its superiority among other technical universities in Russia. Whereas, for example, MIPT is in no way inferior to Baumanka.
Myths about MSTU
There isthe misconception that only males study at this university. Moreover, all of them are deeply immersed in the educational process and have long lost touch with normal student life. In fact, completely ordinary people study here, among them there are many girls. However, with the exception of the faculties of fundamental sciences and robotics, where, as a rule, the future luminaries of Russian science begin their journey.
