On May 20 at 3:30 p.m. (GMT +3, MSK) we will hold the Open Doors for the Engineering Systems field. During the event, we will present programs focused on engineering development and science:
Master's degree: Engineering Systems: Aerospace, Robotics, and Digital Engineering program
PhD: Engineering Systems
Scientists and engineers will present the latest achievements in aerospace technologies, space research, engineering design, robotics, and digital engineering. They will also share the ongoing research conducted by the Center for Engineering Systems and Sciences.
You will learn about our master’s and PhD programs that offer in-depth study in these areas. Admissions representatives will be available to explain the selection process and help you prepare the required documents.
Additionally, you will have the opportunity to take a guided campus tour and visit our modern laboratories. There, you will see firsthand how small satellites are built, autonomous robots are developed and trained, and digital models of engineering systems are created and validated through testing.
This is a great chance to experience the academic and research atmosphere firsthand, speak with professors, engineers, and students, and get answers to all your questions.
Registration is required.

The instruction is conducted in English. The program offers three specialization tracks:
Product development and new materials for industry. The track focuses on technologies and methodologies for the developing products, systems, and new materials of pivotal importance for hi-tech sectors and society. Particular emphasis is placed on digital twins and ways to efficiently use and adapt digital technologies to create modern products, innovative materials, and systems and analyze their competitive advantage.
The track includes Principles of Manufacturing, an optional MIT micro-master's program with topics covering all stages of product development: from conceptual design (Systems Engineering), detailed design and analysis using a comprehensive set of digital industrial software systems (DISS) to increasing production volumes (Digital Manufacturing Systems), as well as the programs “Applied materials and their applications”, and “Method of correlation analysis of material properties.”

The track includes a series of courses on modern intelligent robotics covering the following:
Students will have the opportunity to conduct research using collaborative UR robots, a Unitree quadruped robot, a humanoid robot, and a drone swarm, as well as to develop their own robotic systems and VR solutions.
While working on their master’s theses, students will be able to collaborate with research groups from leading universities around the world, including Peking University, Tsinghua University, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Bhopal, Hamad Bin Khalifa University, and others. Track students will also be supported in writing and presenting research papers at top-tier conferences in intelligent robotics and VR, such as: ICRA, IROS, HRI, ICUAS, ROBIO, SMC, the Haptics Symposium.
- Physical AI, UAV swarms, mobile, industrial, and collaborative robots
- robotic perception (SLAM, Visual Transformers, Diffusion models, navigation)
- AI for robotics (application of VLA, IL, DRL in robotics)
- VR & Haptics (tactile displays, VR/AR teleoperation, digital twins).
