Happy birthday, ITMO 🎂🥳

Today, on March 26, we celebrate the remarkable journey of ITMO University through the past 124 years. While it’s tempting to list 124 things we love about it, the true magic lies in the people, our ITMO Family, who truly make it more than a university.

Why do prospective students choose ITMO? 💭

At the Education and Career International Exhibition in Minsk, Belarus this March, we had the opportunity to ask this question first-hand during a quick chat with a prospective Bachelor’s student Yulia Smirnova.

What program will you be applying to?

I’ve chosen software engineering, namely the Computer Technologies in Design program. What attracted me to it is the freedom to choose the fields I want to study, and the flexibility of my learning track.

How did you find out about ITMO?

I’ve learned about ITMO from Telegram. Also, I’m applying through Rossotrudnichestvo (the Russian Government scholarship). On their website, there was a list of universities and some information about each of them. ITMO caught my attention immediately. I’ve decided to take a look at its website — and I enjoyed it!

We wish Yulia the best of luck and look forward to welcoming her as an ITMO student soon 🫶
