It is one of thelargest faculties of Moscow State University.

This faculty came into existence in 1933.The faculty provides students a traditional university’s education. Students study 4 yearsand get the bachelor's degree, or study 6 years and get the master’s degree. Every year wehad two terms, at the end of which we take examinations. The study is very interestingand absorbing here.But also the faculty gives students an opportunity to meet interesting people, to attendlectures of greatest scientists and professors, to take part in scientific projects. Our facultyhas his own traditions and one of them is the physicist’s day. It is an annual holiday, andevery student waits for it.
