Chemistry as a scientific discipline appeared at Moscow University in the first year of its existence. The founder of the university M.V. Lomonosov, a great scientist, poet and artist, was also one of the best chemists of his time. The Department of Chemistry appeared at the Faculty of Medicine shortly after the formation of Moscow University in 1755. Many generations of Russian chemists, who entered the history of world science, studied and taught at the Faculty of Chemistry of Moscow State University.

Today, the faculty includes 17 departments and 1 interdepartmental laboratory, where all modern trends chemical science and related specializations, which are training highly qualified chemists.

Departments of the Faculty of Chemistry:

• Physical Chemistry (Head of the Department - Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences V.V. Lunin);
• (head of the department - professor A.V. Shevelkov);
• (acting head of the department - Professor M.A. Proskurnin);

The Interdepartmental Laboratory of Computational Methods in Chemistry is headed by Associate Professor V.S. Lyutsarev.

The faculty has more than 1800 employees, including 9 academicians and 17 corresponding members of the Russian Academy of Sciences, more than three hundred and fifty teachers and about 700 scientific staff. More than 1200 students and about 300 graduate students study at the faculty.

The faculty prepares broad-profile chemists in all areas of modern chemistry, taking into account the latest scientific trends, including those related to the production of new materials and drugs, scientific activity in the field of resource-saving and nanotechnologies. In addition, members of the Faculty of Chemistry teach chemistry at a number of other faculties of the Moscow State University, as well as in the branches of the Moscow State University in Baku (Republic of Azerbaijan), in Dushanbe (Republic of Tajikistan) and the joint University of MSU-FPI in Shenzhen (People's Republic of China). ). High qualification graduates of the Faculty of Chemistry is also due to the fact that from the first year each student is involved in scientific work, participates in projects and conferences on relevant topics.

International connections, excellent teaching staff, a unique atmosphere that you feel from the first minutes of being a student, a place where you want to return every day - all this is the Faculty of Chemistry.

Regardless of the future specialization, all students study general fundamental disciplines during the first 3 years. These are: higher mathematics, physics, foreign language, humanitarian subjects and, of course, basic chemical disciplines. For the study of chemical disciplines in curriculum up to 40% of the study time is allocated, which is divided approximately equally between theoretical classes and laboratory work. Considerable attention is paid to fundamental physical and mathematical training. Up to 20% of the study time is devoted to the study of higher mathematics, applied mathematics, general and theoretical physics, which is almost twice as much as in any other chemical universities in the country.

Graduates of the faculty, as well as graduates of other universities, can continue their studies in the magistracy of the faculty in several programs, including the recently opened direction "Chemical Technology". The term of study in the master's program is 2 years. Graduates of the faculty who have good and excellent grades for all the years of study and have shown an inclination for research work have the opportunity to continue their studies in the graduate school of the faculty.

We want to see talented young people who are passionate about the ideas of chemistry as our students. To do this, the faculty has created a network of "sponsored" schools, lyceums, gymnasiums, in which classes are conducted according to a special university program.

In order to attract talented young people to MSU, since 1993, the Faculty has been conducting a preliminary selection of the most talented students through Olympiads, not only from Moscow schools, but also from urban and rural schools throughout Russia, and even from the former republics of the Soviet Union.

The faculty is waiting for talented, gifted and daring young people who are eager to benefit the Fatherland and continue the glory of Russian science.

More detailed information about the faculty:

If you are in grades 9 and 10, you can try to enter a school from Moscow State University. SASC is a specialized educational and scientific center. You can enter it if you pass an internal exam. According to statistics, all graduates pass the exam with a high score.

Self-preparation

Tutors, courses will give you a good preparation, but do not forget about self-training. You must regularly study on your own in order to enter the Chemistry Faculty of Moscow State University. Points for USE exams rather big, so be patient and make a preparation plan for yourself. To enter the Faculty of Chemistry, you need to pass the Unified State Examination in Chemistry, Russian and Mathematics. Mathematics courses from Alpha School are a good option for preparing for the Unified State Examination in mathematics. You will have personal tutor who will constantly guide you. Preparing and entering a university is a very important step, so education should be taken seriously. The most effective and proven way is to prepare with an online math tutor. You will have great advantages: the tutor devotes time only to you, and you do not waste time on the road, which you already have so little. Professionals in their field - Alpha School tutors know how best to prepare you for such a difficult exam as mathematics.

Moscow State University (Chemistry Department): points for 2017.

Day of foundation of the Faculty of Chemistry of the Moscow state university named after M.V. Lomonosov is considered October 1, 1929. Of course, chemistry was taught here before - since 1760 at the medical and since 1804 at the physics and mathematics faculties. Back in the 19th century, the main department of chemistry, the departments of technical chemistry, agronomic chemistry, and medical chemistry were created at the Imperial Moscow University. In the early years Soviet power the study of chemistry was given great importance and at the University new laboratories were opened, postgraduate studies were organized. In the educational buildings of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov on Mokhovaya Street, it was getting crowded.

After the end of the war, it was time to think about building a palace for "the most advanced socialist science in the world." In 1948, it was decided to build a university campus on the Lenin Hills, Lev Rudnev was appointed chief architect. Heavy equipment moved along the streets of the surrounding villages, and barracks for workers appeared on wastelands.

Construction was carried out day and night, during earthworks in winter, the frozen soil was crushed by explosions. Five railway lines were laid directly to the buildings for the transportation of steel frame parts (this is over 70,000 tons of metal) and other cargo. The construction of all university buildings required 14 million bricks.

The technical design and general estimate for the construction of the Moscow State University complex was approved by Joseph Stalin, and Lavrenty Beria supervised the project, using the labor of several thousand prisoners in the construction. In particular, the building of the Faculty of Chemistry was erected by the organization of the camp type of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR - SU 560. With such close attention from the "party and government", the university was commissioned by the autumn of 1953. On September 1, "the symbol of the great concern of the Communist Party, the government and all our people for the young people of the Soviet country" opened its doors.

The buildings of the university campus were built almost simultaneously, in the middle plan - the Faculty of Chemistry, it began to be built at the end of 1949.

One of the final scenes of the cult movie was filmed not near any military academy, at the entrance to the chemistry department. 1970, frame from the film "Officers": http://oldmos.ru/old/photo/view/69422

At the main entrance there are two monuments - to Dmitry Mendeleev and Alexander Butlerov

Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleev (1834-1907) - Russian encyclopedic scientist: chemist, physical chemist, physicist, metrologist, economist, technologist, geologist, meteorologist, teacher, aeronaut, instrument maker. Professor at St. Petersburg University. Among the most famous discoveries - periodic law chemical elements, one of the fundamental laws of the universe.

Alexander Mikhailovich Butlerov (1828-1886) - Russian chemist, creator of the theory chemical structure organic matter, founder of the "Butlerov school" of Russian chemists, beekeeper and lepidopterist, public figure, Rector of the Imperial Kazan University in 1860-1863.

The modern address of the faculty is indicated as "Moscow, Leninskiye Gory, 1, building 3". Such a street was not found on the map; Leninsky Gory refers to the microdistrict in which all university buildings are located. The Faculty of Chemistry includes several buildings located on the campus. Let's look into the main, five-story building of the Faculty of Chemistry, where the interiors, furniture and equipment of the 1950s have been preserved.

In the photo: young chemists study the Belousov-Zhabotinsky vibrational reaction. This is the class chemical reactions, occurring in an oscillatory mode, in which some reaction parameters (color, concentration of components, temperature) change periodically, forming a complex spatio-temporal structure of the reaction medium. The reaction was discovered by Boris Belousov in 1951, many scientists and groups of various groups are still engaged in its research. scientific disciplines worldwide. Students carry out the reaction of oxidation of malonic acid with bromate in the presence of vanadium as a catalyst and iron tris-phenanthrolinate as a color-forming component. Changes when mixing reagents were noticeable even to an amateur in chemistry - the solution in the saucer changed colors from red to blue and back to red.

Currently, the staff of the Faculty of Chemistry http://www.chem.msu.su/ is more than 1800 employees, including 315 professors, associate professors, senior lecturers, assistants, more than 800 researchers, about 700 engineers, technicians and laboratory assistants.

The faculty includes 16 departments, which represent all modern areas of chemical science and relevant specializations, in which highly qualified chemists are trained:
Analytical Chemistry
colloid chemistry
Not organic chemistry
organic chemistry
physical chemistry
Petroleum Chemistry and Organic Catalysis
Of English language
Chemical kinetics
Chemical Enzymology
macromolecular compounds
laser chemistry
General Chemistry
Radiochemistry
Chemistry of natural compounds
Chemical technology and new materials
Electrochemistry

During the first years of study, students study basic fundamental disciplines, as well as engage in scientific work on the basis of the departments of the faculty. The remaining time of training is devoted to specialization in the chosen direction and the completion of a thesis.

During the construction of the chemical faculty building, hollow reinforced concrete beams were used as load-bearing structures, into which ventilation pipes, plumbing, and electrical wiring for numerous laboratories were laid. Entering the building of the Faculty of Chemistry, you immediately understand that you did not make a mistake with the address, it seems that the hoods work, but the smell is specific.

This hood became a decorative element, initially the system functioned from engines under the fountains, but for twenty years they have not been working.

In addition to dozens of laboratories and study rooms, the building has three large auditoriums: Large, North and South.

Equipment and interior details for Moscow State University were supplied by more than 500 enterprises from all the republics of the USSR. This plafond is made in Riga. The original wooden cladding has also been preserved in the corridors.

The Faculty of Chemistry of Moscow State University (Moscow State University) is a subdivision of the Moscow State University named after M.V. research activities associated with a wide range chemical sciences- one of the oldest faculties of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov, combining the fundamental nature of education and the practice of introducing the latest scientific trends into the educational process.

Faculty of Chemistry of Moscow State University in numbers:

• more than 1800 employees

• 315 professors, associate professors, senior lecturers and assistants

• More than 850 researchers

• about 700 engineers, technicians and laboratory assistants

Of them:

• over 20 members Russian Academy Sciences

• 750 PhDs

Faculty of Chemistry of Moscow State University is:

• over 1200 students

• about 400 graduate students

The Faculty of Chemistry of Moscow State University trains broad-profile chemists in all areas of modern chemistry, taking into account the latest scientific trends, including those related to the production of new materials and drugs, scientific activities in the field of resource-saving and nanotechnologies.

The Department of Chemistry of Moscow State University was established by the order of Moscow State University dated February 26, 1930, however, it is proposed to consider the faculty as existing since October 1, 1929. Initially, the Faculty of Chemistry of Moscow State University included five chemical departments, departments of physics, mathematics and political subjects. The chemical departments included 16 laboratories. In the process of transformations that took place in those years, for three years the Faculty of Chemistry of Moscow State University was part of the Unified Moscow Institute of Chemical Technology, established in 1930, but in 1933 it was returned to the University system. By that time, there were five chemical departments at the Faculty of Chemistry of Moscow State University: general and inorganic chemistry(E.F. Krause), organic chemistry (N.D. Zelinsky), physical chemistry(A.V. Rakovsky), analytical chemistry(E.S. Przhevalsky), colloid chemistry(V.A. Naumov). In the same year, the Department of Electrochemistry was established (A.N. Frumkin). In 1937, the Department of General and Inorganic Chemistry was divided into two independent departments; their heads were E.F. Krause and N.S. Kurnakov. In 1938, the Department of Petroleum Chemistry was established (N.D. Zelinsky).

The chemical department of the Specialized Science Center of Moscow State University started working on November 13, 1989. The specialized chemistry class received the letter “L” in the large boarding school. Then 18 students were enrolled in it. Not everyone reached the "finish" - in 1991, in the first chemical issue, there were only 8 people.

During the period from 1991 to 2016, 25 graduations of the SUNC chemical class took place - a total of 535 people. Of these, 424 people (80%) entered the Moscow State University. Most - 296 graduates - entered the Faculty of Chemistry and the Faculty of Materials Sciences. Graduates of the chemical class studied and are also studying at the Faculty of Physics, Mechanics and Mathematics, Biology, Geology, the Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics, the Faculty of Fundamental Medicine, and Soil Science. The guys also enter other universities - VHC RAS, RCTU, MEPhI, medical academy etc.

Among the graduates of the chemical class there are already more than twenty candidates of sciences, and their number is growing. Teachers regularly receive invitations to defenses and banquets. The first doctor of science was Pavel Suchkov.

Of course, not all of our graduates have devoted themselves to science. There are teachers, journalists, people of art and business among them. And yet, many remain at Moscow State University, continue to do what they love - chemistry, and achieve success. In 2009, SUNC graduate Vladimir Bochenkov received 1st place in the competition for the best work in the field of nanotechnologies and nanoindustry and the RUSNANO prize for his scientific work "Development and implementation of a parallel algorithm for temperature-accelerated dynamics".

In the "history" of the chemical class - in chemistry at all levels, including international.

The chemistry class curriculum provides for 8 hours of chemistry per week, including lectures, seminars and workshops. The result of training should be the formation of a scientific outlook and understanding of the structure, features, approaches and methods of chemistry as a science. And, of course, preparation for entrance exams in chemistry to major universities (primarily Moscow State University). In addition to the profile educational standard secondary education in chemistry, the guys master the chemical theories necessary to build the logical structure of chemistry (theory of resonance, the method of molecular orbitals, etc.). The program additionally includes an overview of some substances and reactions useful for ensuring the integrity of the course (organomagnesium compounds, boron compounds, etc.). Program for biological class slightly different from chemical: there is a special emphasis on biologically significant substances and processes, such as drugs, food components, heterocycles, enzymatic reactions.

The lecture-seminar system adopted by the SASC is based on the university model. At the lectures, the teacher presents the main content of the course. This, of course, does not exclude independent work students with manuals and reference materials.

The workshops are varied. These are discussions of difficult moments based on demonstration experiments and presentations, and solving problems of a different nature - short training thematic tasks, tasks for the Unified State Examination and real entrance exams at Moscow State University, tasks for Moscow city and All-Russian Olympiads. Attention is paid to work with reference books aimed at developing research skills. Students themselves find in the directory the data they need to solve problems, and draw conclusions based on them.

As in the whole university, after studying a certain block of topics, colloquia are held - oral conversations between the teacher and each student based on several specific tasks and relevant theoretical material.

Classes in the chemistry class of the SASC MSU are held in the academic building of the SASC (lectures and seminars) and at the Faculty of Chemistry of the Moscow State University (workshops). The program for the chemistry class includes a whole range of semester workshops - analytical, organic, inorganic. The introduction of workshops pursued different goals. On the one hand, this is support for courses in organic and inorganic chemistry for their more effective assimilation, practical development of knowledge about the analysis and separation of ions. On the other hand, the guys master experimental skills and safety precautions in the university laboratory, working with professional equipment. On the third, coming to the practicum, like real students, students feel their community with the university, in fact they feel that the SESC is a faculty of Moscow State University, they want to return to the walls of the Chemistry Faculty again, maybe in a different capacity.

During workshops or free time under the guidance of mentors, the guys perform. Each student must defend one "term paper" during their studies at the SOSC.
