25
Skoltech and MIPT have announced a new dual-degree MSc program. The joint project between Skoltech and the MIPT+Skolkovo Department of Technology Entrepreneurship offers new content and a high quality of education for technology professionals. It also provides an academic mobility program for students of both universities, which was launched in September 2024. Training under the new program will begin in September 2025.
New Skoltech-MIPT MSc program
Events, results, and achievements
Skoltech-HSE University network BSc program
Skoltech and the Higher School of Economics launched a joint BSc program in cognitive neurobiology — the first of its kind in Russia. The pilot program enrolled 10 students, and the first graduates are expected in 2026.
Internship programs for prospective students
In May 2024, Skoltech launched a portal for BSc and MSc students from other universities, listing current internship programs at the Institute’s research centers. During the internship, future students can meet researchers, apply their knowledge using state-of-the-art equipment, and experience Skoltech’s unique atmosphere firsthand.
Skoltech pioneers photonics track at "I Am a Professional" national student competition
Throughout the competition, the Institute shared its unique expertise. The contestants solved problems prepared by the Skoltech methodology team. Out of the 243 candidates who passed the preliminary selection, only 25 students from St. Petersburg, Kazan, Novosibirsk, Stavropol, Yekaterinburg, and Penza made it to the finals. The winners received cash prizes and were granted admission to Skoltech’s Photonics and Quantum Materials MSc program. In his address to the participants and winners, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko emphasized the importance of the photonics track.
Startup as Thesis MSc program
Alexey Zelentsov, a student in the Data Science MSc program, became Skoltech’s first graduate in the Startup as Thesis track. He successfully presented his startup and was awarded an MSc degree in mathematics and computer science. Alexey’s RCP Meetings startup developed an AI-powered software system that automatically generates minutes of meetings, schedules appointments and calls, identifies key information, and writes summaries. A Skolkovo resident and winner of a grant from the Innovation Promotion Fund, RCP Meetings signed a pilot testing agreement with a Russian bank.
ReSet: Our serial winner!
ReSet, a team of first-year Engineering Systems MSc students from the Intelligent Space Robotics Laboratory at Skoltech Engineering, won the Eurobot Russia 2024 competition in Nizhny Novgorod. In 2024, the event was themed around farming on Mars. ReSet built four autonomous robots that can plant and pollinate crops, adjust solar panels, charge batteries, and make harvest predictions on a playing field — all within the space of 100 seconds. Advanced engineering, efficient teamwork, and visionary thinking ensured ReSet’s success.
Industrial Immersion 2024
Eleven students became the winners of the 2024 Industrial Immersion based on their performance during internships at partner companies. Over a two-month period, Energy Systems MSc student Nikita Burtsev developed an open-source tool, ScopeX, to visualize IEC 61850-9-2 sampled values.
Skoltech Student Council launches cooperation program with Moscow theaters
Thanks to this initiative, Skoltech students have gained access to performances at Moscow’s leading theaters on special terms. In 2024, over 100 students visited the Mayakovsky and Yermolova theaters, the Theater of Nations, Stanislavsky Electrotheatre, the Studio of Theatrical Art, and other venues.
