Brief Outline
Russian New University (RosNOU), a non-governmental academy, came to the world eighteen years ago when a group of graduates of the so called “Phystech” – a world famous Moscow Institute of Applied Physics, founded by well known physicists and Nobel Prize winners P.L. Kapitsa, N.N. Semenov and L.D. Landau – decided to try and set to humanitarian education. The Moscow Institute of Applied Physics enjoys a solid reputation all over the world for its special system of training scientific experts.
It is no mere chance that the word “new” is included in the name of this higher education institution, because the academy represents an absolutely new model of scientific and educational establishment. The University progresses in the course of development. It took universities of such sort more than one decade to build a reputation in some other countries.
