Financial Academy under the Government of the Russian Federation(FA) is a Russian state university specializing in training financiers. Located in Moscow. The rector of the Academy is Mikhail Eskindarov, the president of the Academy is Alla Gryaznova.
Story
The history of the Financial Academy dates back to December 1918, when the People's Commissariat of Finance decided to create the first specialized financial university in the history of Russia - the Moscow Financial and Economic Institute. It was opened on March 2, 1919 and its first rector was D. P. Bogolepov, a graduate of Moscow State University, Deputy People's Commissar of Finance of the RSFSR. In September 1946, MFEI was merged with another higher educational institution - the Moscow Credit and Economic Institute, which had been teaching students since 1931. As a result of the merger of these universities, the Moscow Financial Institute was formed. In 1991, it was transformed into the State Financial Academy, and in 1992, according to the decree of the President of the Russian Federation B.N. Yeltsin, into the Financial Academy under the Government of the Russian Federation. In 2010, the Financial Academy was given the status of a University.

The Financial University is considered one of the oldest universities in Russia. Its graduates include financiers, economists, lawyers, sociologists, mathematicians, political scientists and information technology specialists. He is included in the list of outstanding students of the university - I.I. Fadeev, N.K. Sokolov, A.I. Akimov, A.V. Drozdov, N.S. Maksimova, M.D. Prokhorov and many others. The university is implementing 13 areas of training for bachelors and 11 for masters. Nine main programs for secondary education, ten MBA programs and 108 projects for advanced training and retraining of personnel have been created and tested.
History of the Financial University
The foundations of the future FU under the government of the Russian Federation were laid in 1919 thanks to the opening of the Moscow Financial and Economic Institute. In 1946, it was merged with the Moscow Credit and Economic Institute of the State Bank of the USSR. The result of the merger was the Moscow Financial Institute, which in 1992 received a new name - “Financial Academy under the Government of Russia”. Since 2010, the academy was awarded university status. On January 18, 2014, a Decree was issued on the appointment of rectors of the Financial University by the Government of the Russian Federation.
Divisions
The university is large-scale: its branches operate almost throughout Russia. It consists of two colleges (computer science and programming, Moscow Financial), three schools (public administration and law, as well as an international business school), eleven institutes. As an example of the latest reorganization, we can cite the institutes of short-term programs, business administration and business, financial and economic research, tax policy and administration, problems of an effective state and civil society, and others.
Also in the structure of the FU under the Government of the Russian Federation there are two directorates (information technology and capital construction), various departments in the field of legal services, transport, office work, procurement and others. There are departments for postgraduate and doctoral studies, dissertation councils, development programs and others. But that's not all. Research centers have been opened at the university: publishing scientific journals, innovative language strategies, quality management and others. Sports, educational, and library complexes were built, and our own educational and scientific sociological laboratory was created. And this is not the entire list of large-scale scientific activities carried out by the Financial University. Faculties are also famous for their active work in educating worthy specialists. There are 24 of them, nineteen of them are located in such faculties as:
1. International economic relations.
2. Sociology and political science.
3. Credit and economic.
4. Management.
5. Legal.
6. Municipal and state administration.
7. Open education.
8. Economic security and risk analysis.
9. International financial.
10. Taxes and taxation.
11. Full-time and part-time studies.
12. Information technology and applied mathematics.
13. Accounting and auditing.
14. Financial-economic and others.
Recently, the Faculty of Open Education has been operating, which provides training remotely. Graduates include bachelors and masters. Correspondence education is carried out in the following areas: economics, taxes and law, management and business informatics, master's training. This type of training makes it possible to study practically without interruption from work, and the quality of the knowledge obtained is no lower than that of full-time students.
Eleven university buildings are located throughout Moscow. For example, the Faculty of Sociology and Political Science is located on Leningradsky Prospekt, the Faculty of Management is on Prospekt Mira, the Faculty of Accounting is on Usievicha Street, which is not far from the Sokol metro station.
Ways to improve the quality of knowledge
The following innovations are used in the educational system of the Federal University under the Government of the Russian Federation:
1. Modular form of training.
2. Formation and use of the principles of creating mobile groups.
3. Creation of an institute of tutors.
4. Inviting foreign professors and specialists to give lectures.
6. The use of active forms of learning (business and role-playing games, cases, situational tasks, and so on).
7. Use of electronic textbooks, multimedia training programs.
8. Conducting computer tests.
9. Application of distance learning.
12 university libraries in Moscow and 36 in the regions play a huge role in improving the quality of students’ knowledge.
Scientific activity
Another factor that gives the university the right to belong to the category “Best Universities in Russia” is the conduct of scientific and research work. The scientific block consists of 17 departments and a directorate for planning and preparation of research work. As part of this, studies have been repeatedly carried out on behalf of the Government of the Russian Federation. For example, the implementation of a project to guarantee the successful work of the Military-Industrial Commission.
The university holds a number of events to attract students to scientific activities. Thus, in 2013, the international competition of scientific works of graduate and undergraduate students among universities in Russia and the CIS countries became widely known. In the same year, the Financial University took part in the VIII Moscow Science Festival with a teleconference connecting higher educational institutions of the regions of Russia and abroad. The III International Youth Forum of Financiers was also held.
The year 2013 was remembered for many events: the All-Russian competition of theses in the field of "Accounting, Analysis and Audit", the All-Russian Student Olympiad "Fincontest", the International Student Scientific and Practical Conference "Financial Markets of the Future", a conference in Russia" and others.
Perspective
The Federal University under the Government of the Russian Federation has set its sights in the future on the role of a multifaceted center in the field of financial and economic sciences, which will be able to make a practical and theoretical contribution to the development of new technologies, as well as increase the competitiveness of Russia. To achieve such a complex task, the university is successfully addressing the following issues:
1. Development of innovative forms in education, new programs, standards, technologies.
2. International cooperation.
3. Improving the quality of work of personnel.
4. Creation of more favorable living conditions for students, classrooms, etc.
How the educational process is organized
The quality of knowledge acquisition at the university is monitored by a special Department for Organization of the Educational Process. It consists of the following departments:
1. Organization of the educational process in master's programs.
2. Organization of the educational process for undergraduate programs.
3. Practice and state certification of graduates.
4. Licensing and accreditation of educational programs.
5. Testing.
6. Educational departments of the complexes at two addresses.
7. Testing of correspondence courses.
The department is headed by the rector of the university, the vice-rector for educational methodological work and the head of the OUUP.
Financial University: Lipetsk branch
The university occupies one of the honorable places among universities in the Lipetsk region. It opened in 1965. The branch has five departments with 36 teachers. The university is located on Internatsionalnaya Street, building 126.
Every year the Financial University in the city holds a “Career Day”. Here students are offered various vacancies according to their profile. Upon graduation, a student can receive not only a diploma, but also a certain amount of work experience. The branch has well-equipped classrooms, a large library with a reading room, four computer rooms, a sports room and a medical room. The university has a FU museum. It clearly presents the stages of formation of the university, talks about its international relations, as well as successes in scientific activities.
Branch in St. Petersburg
The St. Petersburg branch of the Financial University was originally created as the Leningrad Financial College in 1930. After a series of transformations in 2012, the branch received the name Financial University (St. Petersburg), as it is called for short, and is located on Syezzhinskaya Street, house 15-17. Its main strategies are training and retraining of specialists, as well as improving their knowledge. The university adheres to the following stages in training:
1. Study in colleges that provide education.
2. Pre-university preparation of schoolchildren.
3. Bachelor's degree.
4. Retraining and improving the qualifications of specialists.
The St. Petersburg branch of the Financial University is open to both schoolchildren, applicants, and experienced professionals.
Financial University. Omsk
In 1961, the first educational base of the branch produced its first graduates in the fields of statistics, finance, economics, and accounting. In 2012, it became part of the Financial University of Moscow. The educational buildings are located at the following addresses: Maslennikova Street, building 43, and Partizanskaya Street, building 6. The university has two faculties: “Economics” and “Management and Business Technologies”.

About Open Doors Day (ODD)
To say that I was surprised would not be true, because I was SHOCKED by the lies that poured out from all the cracks and microphones of Leningradka that day. They advertised a completely different university, where I studied for 6 years.
The reason for such lies (okay, deceit) is the lack of money on the one hand (as a consequence of the need to attract paying customers by hook or by crook), and on the other hand, these are student volunteers who are selected for such events from the student council (hard-hearted activists ready to do anything the administration wants, for the sake of various bonuses or a place in the hostel). In fact, these “activists” are far from the general mass of students and from the study as a whole, since adequate people do not perceive such characters at all. Students do not have their own opinions at these events; all words are dictated by the administration in advance.
About the FU brand, and even under the Government...
As for the “Financial University” brand, and even more so “under the Government of the Russian Federation,” today we can say with great regret that it has seriously devalued itself. There was a time when people could not enter the Finance Academy and in shame went to the Faculty of Economics of Moscow State University. Today the situation has changed dramatically. Its real level is Sharazhka's offices, of which there are thousands today. Next I will tell you in detail why. The reason for this was the merger of several universities at a lower level, as a result of the mixing of teaching staff, territories, loss of identity and reputation of the once powerful and prestigious Financial Academy.
Regarding “under the Government of the Russian Federation”. This university has nothing to do with the government, just as RANEPA has nothing to do with the President of the Russian Federation. These are just advertising slogans, which are used with great success by the golden youth and their parents; for the most part, Caucasians value this console.
About studying and its quality...
Everything is sad here... There are several reasons for this:
1) Transition to the Bologna system of bachelor's and master's degrees (4+2 years) instead of a specialist's degree (5 years). As a result, everything that was in the 5-year specialty was shoved into the 4-year bachelor’s degree, while throwing out the block of professional disciplines in the specialty, replacing them with general ones (the bachelor’s degree is now the first so-called “initial” stage of higher education). You probably think, ok, but there is a master's degree - this is a highly specialized add-on to a bachelor's degree! No, nothing like that. A master's degree is the same as a bachelor's degree, only for 2 years. The reason for all this, of course, is a general misunderstanding of the Bologna system, primarily by our Ministry of Education. The programs are crude, not adapted - everything is top-notch, but there is no sense.
2) The accession of several universities at a lower level, as a result of mixing of teaching staff, changes in curricula and programs.
3) Teaching staff. He is good, but there are fewer quality teachers every year. There remain enthusiasts, of whom there are few today. The main reason is low salary. A candidate, associate professor, and even more so a doctor of science, professor simply should not receive 60-80 thousand for the hellish workload that the university gives. I agree, the labor market is not fair, especially in Russia, but the salary of a university teacher should not be at the level of a cleaner in a large company like Gazprom.
4) Point-rating system. She kills everything. Instead of knowledge and its quality, you are constantly chasing points - that’s how the system works.
5) Lack of dropouts, as a result of which many students have an indifferent attitude to learning. It is not profitable for the university to deduct; after all, it is a loss of money (either budgetary or private).
6) Exams are all in writing. This was done in order to remove subjectivity in grading. Unfortunately, it remained when the certification was issued (you can get 40 points during the semester - this is the certification, and 60 in the exam itself. Then these points are added together and transferred to the usual 5 point scale. 50-69 points is “3 ", 70-85 is "4", 86-100 is "5"). So, what is written with a pen cannot be cut out with an axe, as they say. It would seem, what a blessing! In fact, such rigor is compensated by widespread cheating - all exams are passed either with the help of cheat sheets (paper or telephone) or through a micro earpiece. 95% of students pass this way. The reason is the pursuit of points, as I wrote above.
7) Presentations. This word can describe the entire FU. You will do them all the time. What does constantly mean? Personally, I gave 152 presentations during my 4 years of undergraduate study. This is the level of a honors diploma, let's say. The minimum, in my opinion, is 100. On average, 1-2 per week, not counting the rather voluminous work. You have to come to terms with this if you want points.
8) Foreign languages? Let's mi speak from may hart. If during your studies at FU you do not forget what you knew at school, this will already be considered a great success.
9) Faculty rating (my subjective):
1. IEO, FEF, KEF, UIA - approximately one level. Previously, KEF was the leader in all indicators, since it has the most interesting graduate departments (banking management, monetary regulation, financial markets). The FEF, which has recently gained popularity, is a purely marketing move (the face of which is Siluanov), before no one went there at all because of dry and unpromising graduate departments (insurance, state and municipal finance, corporate finance). Now the nominal dean of FEF is Siluanov, but don’t delude yourself. He doesn’t teach classes; he attends the university 1-2 times a year with public lectures, and that’s all. IEO is a hodgepodge of everything and a little bit + languages. Accounting and accounting accountants are needed always and everywhere.
2. MFF, NiN, GUiFK, Law Faculty - regular specialized faculties. MFF-zakos under MGIMO for the rich - in fact, there are only majors from English special schools.
3. Management, MTSG, ARIEB, FSP-gutter FU. Just to have somewhere to hang out for 4 years for those who need a crust (it’s not clear why they need it?)
About the infrastructure, atmosphere, contingent...
Infrastructure, material and technical base - everything is perfect here. There is plenty of everything everywhere - renovated buildings, bright and large auditoriums, computer classes, projectors, media libraries - everything is at the highest level, you can’t complain.
The relationships between students in the group are very tense and contradictory. The reason for this is fierce competition for points. During my entire training, I never met a friendly group. Everyone stays in small groups of 3-4 people, doing homework together and preparing for exams.
The atmosphere in the university itself is quite pleasant. Of course, there is pathos, but everything here is determined by the student population itself. MEO and MFF are a parade of majors. KEF and FEF are mostly normal guys, middle class. Taxes - in short, they are 90% Caucasian (this happened historically, since the NIN faculty arose on the basis of the former VGNA, which was considered a hangout for Caucasians. I won’t risk talking about the rest, as there was little overlap.
Many are concerned about the Caucasian issue - they are everywhere, there are quite a lot of them. In taxes they are the majority, in other faculties there are fewer of them (20-30% of the group). Expensive cars, Unified State Exam score 120 points out of 100, pistols and knives are their mandatory attributes. And yes, they are practically not expelled. What is the reason, you ask? Read the rector's biography. We don’t abandon our own, as they say.
Canteens are expensive and not tasty. This is a problem in all buildings, since they are all outsourced. Poisoning occurs.
The dorms are great, if you're lucky enough to get one, of course. There are catastrophically few places, because the university is huge. It's mostly the Olympiads who get it; others don't always get their turn, so for the 1st or 2nd year, get ready to rent an apartment.
About employment and prospects...
Rector of the Department of Education: “The employment rate of our graduates is almost 100%, because these are top-level specialists. Plus we host a lot of career events, and the placement department is always there to help.”
These words touched many graduates. I graduated from my bachelor's degree in 2014 and still can't find a job in my field. All this time I worked part-time outside my specialty and studied for a master’s degree. Experience, specialists with at least 3 years of experience and incredible skills for this age are needed everywhere. Neither a bachelor's degree from a financial university nor a master's degree give me absolutely any advantages today over vocational school graduates (oh yes, now they have the fashionable name college) with 3 years of work experience. I thought that knowledge was power, but it turned out differently. Employment statistics in my group are approximately 30 to 70. More than half of the group is unemployed and does not understand what they did wrong. How did the others get along? Under the protection of parents or relatives. They, in fact, needed education for show.
Well, if you are lucky and you find a job somewhere, then know that your whole future life is a computer with Excel in an 8-hour schedule for 30 thousand, if it is a small office or a government agency, or if you catch luck by the tail and it will be you have 50-60 thousand in a big company.
Employment department. It exists and, in theory, should help in finding an internship and subsequent employment. In all 4 years of my contacts with this department, they have not offered me anything worthwhile. I had to look for internships in the bachelor’s program, as well as part-time work in the master’s program myself.
And what to do now, where to go?...
What should a 2016 applicant do and where should he apply?
If you have successfully passed the Unified State Exam and you have enough points for the Moscow State University budget, go there to the Higher School of Economics. There is simply nothing better in the Russian Federation today.
If you are going to the budget of FU, Pleshki, Ranhigs, etc., choose FU.
What to do if you don’t qualify for the budget - is it worth paying, and if so, for what?
Dear Parents! I want to convey to you the main idea that most paid graduates come to. Education in the Russian Federation is not worth the money. Let your child go to work (try to find a place where you can, it will be more useful), and use the saved 1-1.5 million rubles to create a business, albeit a primitive one. Personal business is the best entrepreneurial school for your child.
If you are living in the past and believe that education is compulsory, even if it costs ridiculous amounts of money (1-1.5 million), pay for Moscow State University or Higher School of Economics. FU costs +- the same, but is far behind.
If you still choose paid education at FU-100, think twice. It's not worth it. With the same success, go to all sorts of MFYuA, etc. desks - there will be the same quality, but for a relatively reasonable price.
If you have a choice between a budget “somewhere” and paid education at a FU, then it’s better to go on a budget “somewhere”.
Don't neglect distance learning. The correspondence + work formula is more advantageous than ever today, since experience comes first, not a diploma. Absorbing at FU is an interesting option in terms of price-quality-prestige ratio.
For myself personally, over 6 years of undergraduate and graduate studies, I have identified three types of pastime for modern students:
1) Study because I want to, because it’s interesting
2) Party - because I’m young and don’t want to study, but this will make my parents calmer
3) Just spill the beans somewhere and somehow, because that’s the custom
Take a careful look at your child, think about what type he is, talk to him about what he wants, what goals he pursues and, based on this, help him make a decision.
I hope my review will help you. Good luck and success in your studies!
