Bauman Moscow State Technical University (MSTU) is one of the most prestigious Russian universities. Its history began in 1826, when, by decree of the empress, an educational institution was created intended for orphaned children of Russian citizens. Today Bauman MSTU is a university whose diploma provides an excellent opportunity to find highly paid jobs both in Russia and abroad. The history, units and branches of the famous university is the topic of the article.
Base
The history of the university began in the twenties of the XIX century. It was established by decree of Empress Maria Feodorovna, and received particular development under Nicholas I. Already in the early thirties, the school began to focus on teaching technical disciplines. Officially, the year of foundation is 1930. Then the famous Bauman Moscow State Technical University was called in a completely different way - the Moscow Craft School. This name has been preserved until 1968.
In 1843, Moscow newspapers vied with each other about the successes of the first graduates of the MRUZ. The press talked 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 field, and then began to manage factories themselves. There weren’t so many graduates of this educational institution compared to the number of lucky people who nowadays annually receive Bauman Moscow State Technical University diplomas. Therefore, there were enough factories at all.
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 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 training 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 was ranked among the best polytechnic schools in the world.
Moscow Higher Technical School
The events of 1917 could not but affect the history of Bauman Moscow State Technical University. Moscow a year later became the capital again, the country began to collapse, the Bolsheviks came to power. All this has not been reflected in the education system in the best way. The number of students fell sharply in all institutions, including the Moscow Higher Technical School - that is what the legendary Baumanka was called then. By the way, the name was once again changed in 1930. For thirteen years, the university was called the Institute of Mechanical Engineering. Bauman. It is worth saying a few words about the man in whose honor the best metropolitan technical university was named.
Nikolay Ernestovich Bauman
This man was not a great scientist. He was one of those who was 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 an educational institution that bears his name for more than half a century.
After the war
The victory over the Nazi army. The country needed to be lifted from ruins, which is impossible in the conditions of backward industry. New cadres were needed - skilled engineers. It was also worth strengthening the armament so that no one else would have thought of stepping their enemy boots on Soviet soil. New faculties were opened at MSTU (then MVTU). In addition, work began on space exploration. In 1948, the faculty of rocketry was established at the Higher Technical School, the history of which 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 proletarization dictated the conditions that first of all the best universities of the country should observe. Difficult times began in the life of teachers at the Moscow Technical University. After all, they are used to completely different students and did not know how to work with practically illiterate students. Representatives of the proletariat at the labor faculty constituted an absolute majority. Teachers of this faculty, created back in the twenties, have developed complicated relations with teachers, as evidenced by numerous essays on the history of Baumanka. Nevertheless, the university survived this difficult period. Every year he strengthened his scientific base and much later, in the mid-nineties, he officially became one of the valuable objects of the cultural heritage of Russia.
You can talk endlessly about the history of Moscow Technical University. A book would not be enough to reveal this topic. But it is still worth paying attention to the units that are available at the Bauman MSTU.

Today, the university employs more than three thousand teachers. Since 2012, the rector of Bauman Moscow State Technical University is A. A. Alexandrov.
Building
The main building of the university is divided into two parts and is located at: st. 2nd Baumanskaya, building 5. p. 1. Communication between units is carried out on the second, third and fourth floors. The MSTU also has a training and laboratory kopus, opened not so long ago - in 2004. This event has become 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 MSTU 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 is free, but in the eighth and tenth grade, lyceum students pass translation exams in physics and mathematics. In the last year of study, students undergo practical training at MSTU. Most of them become students of this university, having successfully passed entrance exams.
Education in physics at the Lyceum is carried out in the form of practical exercises, lectures and laboratory work. The program in mathematics includes a standard school course and the basics of higher mathematics. Of the total number of hours for which two-year training is designed, a third is given to lectures.
Reviews
MSTU named after Bauman is a truly legendary university. According to the generally accepted opinion, it is the best technical university in the country. Studying here is not easy. For example, the faculty of IS at the Bauman Moscow State Technical University prepares highly qualified specialists, but, according to the memoirs of its former students, the load on the first and second year is extremely heavy. It is much easier to learn the program of the first two years for graduates of the lyceum, which was discussed above. But, according to the same students, third-year studies can already be freely combined with work.
However, everything is relative. 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 end of the eighties of the last century the list of talented students has become much more scarce. However, today's applicants are little aware of this, and therefore do not doubt his superiority among other technical universities in Russia. Whereas, for example, MIPT is in no way inferior to Baumanka.
Myths about MSTU
There is a misconception that only males are studying at this university. Moreover, all of them are deeply immersed in the educational process and have long lost contact with normal student life. In fact, completely ordinary people study here, many of them are girls. However, with the exception of the faculties of basic sciences and robotics, where, as a rule, the future luminaries of Russian science begin their journey.
