Faculties

A graduate of this university: The reason that prompted me to write a review about my university was pure chance - I ended up at the bottom by the will of fate open doors and decided to look at his university from the outside, through the eyes of an applicant. I would like to write a real review, focused more on parents and thoughtful, adult applicants who want to do right choice.

About Open House Day (DOD)
To say that I was surprised would not be true, because I was SHOCKED by the lies that poured out of all the cracks and microphones of Leningradka that day. They advertised a completely different university, where I studied for 6 years.
The reason for such lies (ok, cunning) is the lack of money on the one hand (as a result, the need to attract payers by hook or by crook), and on the other hand, these are student volunteers who are selected for such events from the student council (hardened activists who are ready to do anything the administration wants, for the sake of various bonuses or a place in a hostel). In fact, these "activists" are far from total mass students and from studies in general, since adequate people do not perceive such characters at all. Students do not have their own opinion at these events, all words are dictated by the administration in advance.

About the FU brand, and even under the Government ...
As for the brand "Financial University", and even more so "under the Government of the Russian Federation", today we can say with great regret that it has seriously devalued itself. There was a time when people could not enter the Financial Academy and went to the Faculty of Economics of Moscow State University in disgrace. Today the situation has changed radically. His real level is sharazhkin offices, of which there are thousands today. Below I will detail why. The reason for this was the accession of several universities at a lower level, as a result of the mixing of the teaching staff, territories, the loss of identity and reputation of the once powerful and prestigious Financial Academy.
About "under the Government of the Russian Federation." This university has nothing to do with the government, as well as RANHIGS with the President of the Russian Federation. These are just advertising slogans, which are used with great success by golden youth and their parents, for the most part, Caucasians appreciate this prefix.

About education and its quality ...
Everything is sad here ... There are several reasons for this:
1) Transition to the Bologna system bachelor-master (4+2 years) instead of a specialist (5 years). As a result, everything that was in the 5-year specialty was put into a 4-year bachelor's degree, while throwing out a block of professional disciplines in the specialty, replacing them with general ones (the bachelor's degree is now the first so-called "initial" stage of higher education). You probably think, ok, but there is a master's program - this is a highly specialized add-on to a bachelor's degree! No, nothing like that. Master's degree is the same bachelor's degree, only 2 years. The reason for all this, of course, is the general misunderstanding of the Bologna system, primarily by our Ministry of Education. The programs are raw, not adapted, everything is tops, but zero sense.
2) Accession of several universities at a lower level, as a result, mixing of the teaching staff, change curricula and programs.
3) Teaching staff. He is good, but there are less and less quality teachers every year. Enthusiasts remain, and today they are few in number. The main reason is low salary. A candidate, associate professor, and even more so a doctor of science, a professor simply should not receive 60-80 thousand for the hellish workload that the university gives. I agree that the labor market is not fair, especially in Russia, but the salary of a university teacher should not be at the level of a cleaning lady in big company type "Gazprom".
4) Point-rating system. She kills everything. Instead of knowledge and its quality, you are constantly chasing points - this is how the system works.
5) The absence of dropouts, as a result, the indifferent attitude to learning among many students. It is not profitable for the university to deduct, because it is a loss of money (either public or private).
6) Exams are all in writing. This was done in order to remove subjectivity in grading. Unfortunately, he remained during the certification (40 points you can get during the semester - this is the certification, and 60 on the exam itself. Then these points are added together and converted to the usual 5 point scale. 50-69 points is “3 ”, 70-85 is “4”, 86-100 is “5”). So that's what is written with a pen, you can't cut it out with an ax, as they say. It would seem, what a blessing! In fact, such rigor is compensated by wholesale cheating - all exams are taken either with the help of cheat sheets (paper or telephone), or through a micro earpiece. This is how 95% of students pass. The reason is the pursuit of points, as I wrote above.
7) Presentations. This word can describe the entire FU. You will do them all the time. What does constantly mean? Personally, I made 152 presentations in 4 years of undergraduate studies. This is the level of a red diploma, let's say so. At least 100 in my opinion. On average, 1-2 per week, not counting the rather voluminous dz. You have to put up with this if you want points.
8) Foreign languages? Lets mi speak from may heart. If during your studies at FU you do not forget what you knew at school, this will already be considered a great success.
9) Rating of faculties (my subjective):
1. MEO, FEF, KEF, U&A - approximately one level. Previously, KEF was the leader in all indicators, since it has the most interesting graduating departments (banking management, monetary regulation, financial markets). Dialed in recent times The popularity of the FEF is purely a marketing ploy (whose face is Siluanov), before no one went there at all because of the dry and unpromising graduating departments (insurance, state and moon finance, corporate finance). Now the nominal dean of the FEF is Siluanov, but do not flatter yourself. He does not conduct classes, he visits the university 1-2 times a year with public lectures, that's all. MEO is a hodgepodge of everything and a little bit + languages. UIA-accountants are needed always and everywhere.
2. MFF, NiN, GUiFK, Law Faculty - ordinary specialized faculties. MFF-zakos under MGIMO for the rich, in fact, there are only majors from English special schools.
3. Management, MTSG, AR&EB, FSP-Gutter FU. Just to have a place to talk for 4 years for those who need a crust (it’s not clear why they need it?)

About infrastructure, atmosphere, contingent…
Infrastructure, material and technical base - everything is perfect here. There is enough of everything everywhere - renovated buildings, bright and large auditoriums, computer classes, projectors, media libraries - everything is at the highest level, you can’t fault it.
The relations of students in the group are very strained and contradictory. The reason for this is the fierce competition for points. For all the time of training, I have never met a friendly group. Everyone keeps in small subgroups of 3-4 people, do dz together and prepare for exams.
The atmosphere in the university itself is quite pleasant. Of course there is pathos, but everything here is due to the contingent of students themselves. MEO and MFF is a parade of majors. KEF and FEF are mostly normal guys, middle class. In short, taxes are 90% Caucasians (historically, since the NIN faculty arose on the basis of the former VGNA, which was considered a hangout for Caucasians. I won’t dare to talk about the rest, because I didn’t cross paths much.
Many people are concerned about the Caucasian issue - they are everywhere, there are quite a lot of them. They are in the majority in taxes, in other faculties they are less (20-30% of the group). Expensive cars, exam for 120 points out of 100, pistols and knives are their mandatory attributes. And yes, they are practically not expelled. What is the reason, you ask? Read the rector's biography. We do not abandon ours, as they say.
Canteens are expensive and not tasty. This is a problem in all buildings, since they are all outsourced. There are poisonings.
Dorms are cool if you're lucky enough to get one. Places are catastrophically small, because the university is huge. Olympiads mostly get it, the queue does not always reach others, so get ready to rent an apartment for 1-2 courses.

About employment and prospects….
The rector at the DOD: “Employment of our graduates is almost 100%, because they are top-level specialists. Plus, we do a lot of career events, and the employment department is always there to help.”
These words touched many graduates. I completed my undergraduate degree in 2014 and still can't find a job in my specialty. All this time he worked part-time not in his specialty and studied at the magistracy. Experience, everywhere we need specialists with at least 3 years of experience and incredible skills for this age. Neither a red diploma of a bachelor's degree from a financial university, nor a master's degree give me absolutely any advantages today over vocational school graduates (oh yes, now they have the fashionable name college) with 3 years of work experience. I thought that knowledge was power, but it turned out differently. The employment statistics in my group are about 30/70. More than half of the group sit without work and do not understand what they did wrong. How did the others get along? Under the patronage of parents or relatives. They, in fact, needed education for show.
Well, if you are lucky and you got a job somewhere, then know that all your future life this is a computer with Excel in an 8-hour schedule for 30 thousand, if it is a small office or a government institution, or if you catch luck by the tail and you will have 50-60 thousand in a large company.
Employment department. It exists and, in theory, should help in finding an internship and subsequent employment. For all 4 years of my contacts with this department, they did not offer me anything worthwhile. I had to look for practice in the bachelor's degree, as well as a part-time job in the magistracy.

And now what to do, where to go?
What to do and where to go for an applicant in 2016?
If you successfully passed the exam and you have enough points for the budget of Moscow State University, HSE, go there. There is simply no better in Russia today.
If you go to the budget of FU, Pleshka, Ranhigsa and so on, choose FU.
What to do if you do not pass on the budget - is it worth paying, and if it is, then for what?
Dear Parents! I want to convey to you main idea, to which the majority of paid graduates come. Education in Russia is not worth the money. Let your child go to work - (try to attach where you can, it will be more useless), and use the saved 1-1.5 million rubles to create a primitive, but business. Personal business is the best entrepreneurial school for your child.
If you live in the past and think that education is obligatory, albeit for crazy money (1-1.5 million), pay for Moscow State University or the Higher School of Economics. FU costs + - the same, but far behind.
If you still choose paid education in the FU-100 times think. It's not worth it. With the same success, go to all sorts of MFUA, etc. office-there will be the same quality, but for a relatively sane price.
If there is a choice between a budget "somewhere" and paid education at the FU, then it is better on a budget "somewhere".
Don't neglect distance learning. The correspondence + work formula is more advantageous today than ever, since experience is in 1st place, not a diploma. Zaochka in FU interesting option in terms of price-quality-prestige.

For myself, for 6 years of study in undergraduate and graduate programs, I have identified three types of pastime for modern students:
1) Study - because I want to, because it's interesting
2) Party - because I don’t want to study when I’m young, but this way my parents will be calmer
3) Just talk somewhere and somehow, because that's the way it is
Take a good look at your child, consider what type he is, talk to him about what he wants, what goals he pursues and, based on this, help him make a decision.

Hope my review helps you. Good luck and success in your studies!
