More than 80% of students are involved in scientific research and win national contests of graduation and course works, regional and national olympiads and grant programmes U.M.N.I.K and START. Students also take part in grant programmes of strategic partners (JSC “Rosgosstrakh”, JSC “Rosselkozbank”, JSC “Sberbank of Russia” and the audit company PriceWaterhouseCoopers) and have been awarded personal grants of the RF President and Government, V.
