The main life hack for passing the selection at Skoltech is to make it in the first wave. There are 4 reasons for this:

🔹 According to our statistics, the number of participants is not as large as in subsequent waves, which means lower competition and higher chances of successfully passing the selection for you;
🔹 More time to prepare your thesis;
🔹 You can relax in the summer without worrying about admission;
🔹 If you fail to pass the selection for the chosen program, you will have the opportunity to apply for the next wave.

Mark the dates of the first deadline in your calendar:

🔸 March 10 — for the master's programs;
🔸 April 28 — for the PhD programs.

You can apply for the selection and find useful information about Skoltech programs here.
🚀 For first-year master's students, the calendar year at Skoltech traditionally began with the ISP. During the Independent Study Period, students, faculty, staff, and guest speakers can organize their own courses not bound with the traditional educational programs. During this period, students have the opportunity to explore areas outside of their specialization, developing their horizons and soft skills.

This year, based on the results of the competition, a record number of 59 courses were selected for the program: from Bodybuilding and Serbian Language to Python For Data Science and Craft of Coffee-Making. We attended some of them and talked to their authors, and now want to share it with you.

For example, Associate Professor at Khalifa University Andrei Sleptchenko, who developed the course “Applied Statistics,” told us the 5 concepts of how to use statistics in your work.

By the way, these rules can be used to prepare for the competitive selection at Skoltech. We remind you that the next deadline for MSc programs is scheduled for March 10.

🦸‍♀ “Everything is possible, wide range of opportunities and being like a superhuman”

Especially for Student's Day in Russia, we surveyed Skoltech master's students to find out what it means to be a Skoltech student. Turn on the video — you will probably find inspiration here!

Happy Student's Day! 🫰
⚡️ The second story is dedicated to the Independent Study Period at Skoltech.

Ilya Borovik, the author of one of the courses and a postgraduate student in the program "Computational & Data Science & Engineering," discusses how speech synthesis can be used in science (and not only).
‼️ This is an important post for those who have firmly decided to participate in the selection for the Skoltech master's program but may feel a bit anxious about preparing their documents.

We want each of our candidates to feel full support from Skoltech throughout the process, so we have gathered the most important information regarding each document we kindly ask you to prepare.

We have carefully compiled all the information into comprehensive guides covering the following topics:

🔹 how the competitive selection at Skoltech is organized;
🔹 how to write a resume and a motivation letter;
🔹 how to request letters of recommendation;
🔹 how to prepare for Skoltech's entrance exam.

You can find all this information (and much more) here.

👥 Science News Explores highlighted the Kapitsa AI project in its article on digital twins.

Professor Evgeny Burnaev, who heads the AI Center, commented on the goal of the project and emphasized that such a “clone” is not a real human being with actual intelligence but an intricate assemblage of mathematical algorithms. Find a video in the article with greetings from the digital twin of Sergey Kapitsa.
