МГСУ-МИСИ

In 1921, this grand institution, known as MGSU, first opened its doors. MGSU stands for Moscow State University of Civil Engineering. But this esteemed university wasn’t always known as MGSU. It was first established as the Moscow Institute of Civil Engineering, or MICE. This happened in a time of great change for Russia, just a few years after the revolution. Picture the energy and hope of those early years as students and professors laid the foundation for a world-renowned center for civil engineering. The university quickly gained a reputation for its rigorous academic standards. In 1935, it was even named after a prominent Soviet figure, Valerian Kuybyshev. But don’t let the name change fool you. The soul of the institution, its commitment to excellence in building and design, remained steadfast. Now, let’s talk about rankings. Today, MGSU stands tall on the global stage. It achieved a ranking of 198th in the QS World University Rankings: Emerging Europe and Central Asia in 2021. Think about that: almost two hundred years of combined knowledge and experience, right here, in this very building. It’s a testament to the enduring spirit of inquiry and innovation that thrives within these walls.
