Faculty of Physics and Mathematics

Established in 2023 by leveraging the premium academic resources of Moscow State University's Physics Department and Department of Mechanics and Mathematics, the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics aims to cultivate high-caliber professionals in fundamental physics and mathematics. The Faculty offers an undergraduate program in Fundamental Mathematical and Physical Sciences (aligned with Moscow State University's "Fundamental Physics" and "Fundamental Mathematics" programs), which commenced enrollment in 2024.

The teaching team consists of over 50 distinguished scholars from Moscow State University, including 20 professors. All faculty members meet Moscow State University's stringent qualification standards and have outstanding achievements in both research and teaching. According to the 2024 QS World University Rankings, Moscow State University's physics and mathematics disciplines rank 33rd and 38th globally, respectively, holding the top positions among Russian institutions. Notably, the Department of Mechanics and Mathematics at Moscow State University has produced six Fields Medalists.

The Fundamental Mathematical and Physical Sciences program corresponds to Moscow State University's two flagship disciplines, "Fundamental Physics" and "Fundamental Mathematics", and adopts a specialized track training model. Upon meeting graduation requirements, students will receive both a professional track certificate (including a bachelor's degree) from Moscow State University and a graduation certificate with a Bachelor of Science degree in Fundamental Mathematical and Physical Sciences from Shenzhen MSU-BIT University.

The program is designed to foster interdisciplinary innovators in mathematics and physics, with a strong emphasis on building a solid theoretical foundation for practical applications in economic sectors. Graduates will systematically master core theories and research methodologies in modern mathematics and fundamental physics, developing the ability to track cutting-edge disciplinary advancements. Through constructing an interdisciplinary knowledge system, graduates will be capable of independently applying mathematical and physical tools to solve problems in natural sciences and conducting innovative research in high-tech industries.

The program's distinctive feature lies in its organic integration of theoretical depth and interdisciplinary approaches. Students in the Fundamental Physics track will gain proficiency in applying modern mathematical tools to theoretical physics research, while those in the Fundamental Mathematics track will learn to analyze mathematical problems through the lens of physical thinking.

Graduates of the undergraduate program will pursue careers requiring expertise in modern mathematics and fundamental physics, applying their specialized knowledge in technology-intensive economic sectors. Through rigorous theoretical training combined with hands-on practice, along with guided scientific research under faculty mentors and research teams, students will develop strong competitiveness to better adapt to the job market. Graduates may choose to continue their studies or embark on professional careers in education, scientific research, high-tech production, and interdisciplinary fields, spanning higher education, research, new technology development, mathematical modeling, scientific R&D, and specialized analytics.
