Description

ITMO University is one of the lead Universities in the Russian Federation. Ranking of THE 501-600, QS World University Rankings – 360.
ITMO University includes 5 schools: Internet Technologies and Programming, Computer Technologies and Controls, Photonics, Biotechnology and Cryogenic Systems (SBCS), Economics, Management and Innovations, and 43 international research laboratories with international staff serving over 12 500 students, 2400 foreign students from 87 counties and about 1290 PhD-students. ITMO University offers 146 master programmes ,45 PhD programmes; over 20 Master programmes are taught in English.
University planning to implement the "science-education-business" collaboration model.
Saint-Petersburg State University of Refrigeration and Food Engineering (was founded in 1931) became a part of the ITMO University in 2012 as the School of Biotechnology and Cryogenic Systems.
Among the School’s industrial partners are more than 50 Russian and international companies such as Karavai, Leipurien Tukku, Fazer, Baltika Brewery, Danone, Galaktika, Petmol, Coca-Cola, Heiniken, Russian Standard, Electronics RUS, Daikin, KRION, Mitsubishi Electric, Gazprom, etc.
We cooperate with many renowned universities worldwide, including the TU Dresden, Hamburg University of Technology, the Technische Universität Ilmenau, Leipzig University, University of Central Florida, Illinois State University, Saint Louis University, South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences, Lahti University, Aalto University, Harbin University of Science and Technology, Lanzhou University, the University of Liège, etc.
Among the School's key research areas are:
• developing technologies for improving the quality of life (People, Profit)
• increasing energy efficiency of biomass processing and reducing human impact on the environment (Profit, Planet)
• creating functional materials for biotechnologies (People Planet)
