Dear students,
Dear faculties and all staff members of the Faculty of Physics,

Congratulations with the beginning of the New Academic Year, I wish all of you new achievements and success!

Congratulations to the first year students with entering our Faculty of Physics at Lomonosov University! You are entering into one of the most wonderful period of your life – the student days. Interesting meetings, talented teachers, involvement in creative projects, great and minor discoveries, and, surely, examinations (just two time a year in students’ and faculties’ joy) are awaiting for you.

The Faculty of Physics offers a world-wide recognized system of physical higher education. Our  graduates work not only in our country, but also in the most prestigious universities and scientific laboratories of the Western Europe, the USA, Japan and all over the world. It happens that graduate schools of European and American universities accept our students even before their graduation.

Lomonosov Moscow State University an our Faculty of Physics offer our students all necessary conditions to make them professionals, so that they have a very good first step in their career and serve well to our Country. However, in order to achieve these goals not only the faculties, but also you yourselves will have work a lot. Of prime importance is that you will learn how to work without assistance, so that you will then be able to cope with any problem you will bump at in your life.

Just in a few years you will become professionals, the elite of Russian society. After graduation, you will have a wide spectrum fields to apply your activities---from teaching and research to innovations and management. The higher education in any specialization you received at our Faculty of Physics is both prestigious and opens you up additional possibilities for implementation of your plans in life. You are the hope of Russia, please do all you can to raise your knowledge during your studies at the university and to gaining your skills of creative work for the benefit of our Motherland.
