Perm State University (PSU) recently entered the annual Superjob ranking in terms of salaries for IT specialists – reaching up to RUB 100,000 ($1,350), based on 2015-2020 graduates’ feedbacks. PSU took 16^th position in the final list, including 58 Russian universities.

In September 2021, PSU starts a brand new network program in partnership with Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), a leader among technical universities, nationally. Within the program, students of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, as well as the Faculty of Physics will be certified in Artificial Intelligence and Big Data.

The Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics at PSU has been attracting a galaxy of promising mathematicians and engineers from higher institutions of Tsarist to Soviet Union and Russia, since the start of the University in 1916.

Today, the Faculty conducts series of joint research with colleagues from Australia, Germany, Israel, Spain, Norway and the USA. Among the most promising projects is the use of inflatable envelope membranes in space under patronage by the Russian Space Agency.

The Faculty conducts applied research on mathematical modeling in various fields – from natural-scientific and technical applications to social studies and economic systems, including data mining, neural network technology, business intelligence and information security.
