Foundation and History
The Faculty was founded in 1952. Its foundation was caused by the urgent need in a highly skilled engineers' preparation due to the Soviet Military-industrial complex requests. Best students from the neighbouring Faculty of Physics were proposed to move into the newly created faculty. Hence, faculty of Radiophysics obtained its first graduators in 1953. The scholarship for the students of radiophysics was twice higher than for their colleagues from other faculties of the University. Interesting fact: Faculty of Radiophysics was subordinated to the Ministry of Defence of USSR (not to the Ministry of Education likewise other faculties were). First years faculty of radiophysics was never mentioned officially. It obtained its official name later on: 'the Faculty #3'. Three departments were created: the department of electrophysics, the department of electronics and the department of radiophysics. Since then the faculty has awarded degrees to over 6,000 graduates.
