General Information
It is Russia’s first technical university.
Moscow State Technical University was founded in 1830 as the “Moscow Craft School” to teach various crafts in addition to the basic sciences. After taking the name Imperial Moscow Technical School following the great achievements it recorded in only 50 years, it continued to develop rapidly. From then on, the training of good engineers in science and technology began. It is Russia’s first technical university.
There are 19 departments offering full-time education programs at MSTU. Today, the number of students studying in its technical departments, which cover almost all modern machine and vehicle construction fields, is 19,000, and it has trained more than 200,000 engineers to date. The total number of faculty members with doctoral and post-doctoral academic degrees is 2320. There are also branch departments dealing with specific areas of industry, and serious work is carried out in the defense industry as well.
MSTU has adopted a forward-looking approach in its educational work. The university takes part in transformation programs, determines priorities related to the development of new scientific fields, and lays the groundwork for human resources for the high-technology industry. All its work is blended with Russia’s strong engineering tradition.

LIVING CONDITIONS IN RUSSIA
Because Russia has a vast geography, air and rail are the most preferred means of intercity travel. Road, rail, air and metro networks are well developed across Russia, and it is easy to travel from one end of the country to the other. Public transport such as trams, buses, trolleybuses and minibuses is used within cities. In Russia, which has one of the best railway systems in the world, trams, the metro and similar vehicles are among the most comfortable transport options. As with almost everything in Russia, transport costs are quite low. Students can travel comfortably with a monthly pass costing 30 Lira. A one-way ticket costs approximately 1 Lira.

YÖK Recognition of Russian Universities
YÖK (the Turkish Council of Higher Education) set the conditions for recognition of studies abroad in 2019. Students who wish to continue their education abroad must meet the established equivalency conditions. The same conditions apply to Russian universities with YÖK recognition. What you need to know about the conditions for recognition of studies abroad is as follows:
- For universities that can be attended without meeting the conditions for taking the ÖSYM (Student Selection and Placement Center) exams in Türkiye, the university must be among the 1000 universities recognized by YÖK.
- If the university to be attended is not ranked within the top 1000, taking the ÖSYM exams is mandatory. In this regard, it is known that placing within a ranking determined for each department is required. A student who takes the university entrance exam in Türkiye must rank within the top 150,000 for law. In addition, they must rank within the top 240,000 for engineering and within the top 40,000 for medicine. Another thing to know about Russian universities with YÖK recognition is that, in the other fields listed in the ÖSYM Guide, students must obtain at least the score of the last student placed in the corresponding program in Türkiye.
- If the chosen university is not within the top 1000 and the student has not obtained the required score, the student must meet the conditions set by YÖK. In this context, the requirements are as follows: ACT: minimum 21 points, SAT 1: minimum 1000 points, Abitur: minimum 4 points, International Baccalaureate (IB): minimum 28, French Baccalauréat: diploma score of at least 12, Austrian Matura Diploma: minimum 2, GCE A Level Certificate: minimum 2 subjects, Italian Maturità: diploma score of at least 70.
