Moscow Aviation Institute (Moscow Aviation University)
The Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI), established in 1930, specializes in aviation and has become a center for aeronautical engineering education. Since its establishment in 1930, it has graduated 130,000 domestic and 1,000 foreign students from 40 countries.
In the early 1930s, it began with two buildings and 290 students, but throughout the 20th century, these numbers grew significantly. Currently, there are over 450 professors, 1,100 associate professors, totaling more than 1,700 faculty members. The institute boasts over 20,000 graduates, undergraduate, and postgraduate students, spread across 10 university buildings and three institutes.
Among our alumni, we have 100 chief and lead designers who are members of the Russian Academy of Sciences. They have collectively spent 12 years in the field of space exploration with 21 cosmonauts and have earned 250 state awards. For our students, we offer more than 120 laboratories, 3 student design offices, numerous computer centers, an experimental design factory, and one airport.The institute’s initial professors were Tupolev A.N. (the ‘TU’ aviation class), Mikoyan A.I. (the ‘MIG’ aviation class), and Yakovlev A.S. (the ‘YAK’ aviation class). Among MAI graduates, there are numerous astronauts, renowned academics, and scientists.
The Moscow Aviation Institute is a vast scientific hub. It constructs significant innovations using state-of-the-art technology alongside new devices, grounded in important scientific concepts that are both developed and originated here. Patents have been secured for five fundamental scientific discoveries in dynamic systems. Innovative power sources based on these new principles are applied in aircraft, space system units, and other applications.
The Moscow Aviation Institute rose in October 2009 to rank among the top 12 universities in the Russian Federation.
About Moscow Aviation Institute
All university staff and students can participate in the design of new engines and devices. There’s a wide selection available for six out of the globally recognized 14 types of aviation sports. Recently, the Moscow Aviation Institute has designed and constructed “Aviatica,” a perforated small-sized aircraft, involving its students and faculty. These aircraft are currently in demand from both Russia and worldwide due to their advantages in today’s conditions. Approximately 200 of these aircraft, designed and manufactured by the Moscow Aviation Institute, are currently flying around the world.
Graduates of the Moscow Aviation Institute now number in the hundreds of thousands. Many of them work in central design offices for astronaut training centers and technology institutions, repair workshops, scientific research institutes, universities, laboratories, aviation companies, and other aerospace and space engineering areas. Since 2007, the Moscow Aviation Institute has been operating under the presidency of Professor Anatoliy N. Geraschenko, a graduate and Doctor of Science from the same institute back in 1977.
The Student Dormitories of the Moscow Aviation Institute
Within the student campus of the Moscow Aviation Institute, there are 7 student dormitory buildings. These dormitory buildings are situated in two separate areas: ‘Moscow Aviation Institute’ and ‘Severnoe Tushino.’ They have a total of 1,832 rooms and a capacity for 4,805 beds, covering a total area of 54,880 square meters.
A mutual accommodation and additional services contract is signed between the students residing in the dormitories and the dormitory management.
The student management within the dormitory campus provides joint organization for students and offers necessary assistance.
The placement of students in the dormitories is decided by representatives of the faculty deans for both undergraduate and graduate levels.
The dormitories of the Moscow Aviation Institute are arranged in an apartment-style system. Each apartment consists of 2 or 3 rooms, with single or double occupancy. The bathrooms and toilets within the apartments are shared, accommodating a total of 5 people per apartment.
