[edit] University Today

BMSTU offers more than 65 majors. As of 2003 there were total 18,000 undergraduate and graduate students. The faculty consists of about 4,500 professors, among them 450 holding Doctor of Science and 3,000 Ph.D. degrees. From 1918 to1997 more than 120,000 students graduated with different engineering degrees. Most of them chose to become scientists or engineers in the leading research centers, universities, private and government owned companies. Some of the specialized departments of BMSTU are located outside Moscow in cities of Moscow County: Krasnogorsk (Russian: Красногорск), Reutov (Russian: Реутов), Korolev (Russian: Королёв). There's also a branch of the university in Kaluga (Russian: Калуга).

[edit] History

The university was established in 1830 as Imperial Vocational School (Russian: Ремесленное училище, Remeslennoe Uchilische) by a decree of Emperor Nicholas I. It was renamed in 1868 as Imperial Moscow Technical School, then after the 1917 revolution to Moscow Highest Technical School (MHTS). A number of research institutes such as TsAGI was created from laboratories and departments of MHTS in 1930. The remaining school was named Bauman Moscow Mechanical and Machine Construction Institute. The name MHTS was revived in 1943. The current name was given in 1989.
