Have you ever caught yourself thinking that of all school subjects, physics, drawing and fine arts attract you with equal force? If you answered “yes” to this question, then congratulations - you have every chance. This profession combines several areas at once, from artistic to technical and engineering, and requires creative approaches where the exact sciences rule. The work of an architect can be extremely interesting for you, but at the same time hard: you have to work hard, and the salary is often disproportionately small with the amount of work performed. A modern employer agrees to pay good money to an architect, but only if he has a high-quality higher education behind him. We found out which architectural universities can promise their graduates a decent salary and demand in the labor market.

Among all the architectural universities of Russia, MARCHI is distinguished by the highest passing scores - according to admission data for 2017, their number reached 329. Only or, where every year there is serious competition for budget places between holders of high USE scores, can boast of such indicators. However, in the training of architects there is no one equal to the Moscow Architectural Institute, and if you dream of a brilliant architectural career, then you have a direct path here. The quality of education at the Moscow Architectural Institute has long been recognized all over the world, including by the Royal Institute of British Architects.

*data for 2017

An architect, if he wants to keep up with life, must know and be able to apply not only architectural forms, ornaments and various decorative elements, he must know progressive materials, reinforced concrete structures and details, and, above all, must be well versed in the issues of construction economics.

N.S. Khrushchev

Take a look around - in all cities, both large and small, large-scale uninterrupted construction is underway. These are residential complexes, and grandiose facilities for sports competitions - the Olympics in Sochi, the Universiade in Kazan, industrial enterprises, factories and warehouses, schools and hospitals, airports and power plants ... Private construction is also actively carried out - country houses, dachas, cottages, baths. All this is being built by thousands of specialists: architects, designers, builders. These professions are in demand at all times, because construction always follows the needs of people in housing and other infrastructure. As the saying goes: "Housing is being built everywhere with us, lagging behind the growth of the population."

The architectural and construction industry is rapidly developing in the field of new construction technologies and the use of the latest materials, which requires a constant influx of young promising specialists. There are 21 state architectural and construction universities in Russia, three of which are located in Moscow with branches in the Moscow region and regions, the rest in the regional cities of almost every region. All universities can be proud of their glorious long history and high standards of education.

An architect-urban planner is called upon to create the best conditions for the life of not only contemporaries, but also future generations.

For admission to the Faculty of Architecture, in addition to the main results of core subjects in the Unified State Examination, it is required to pass a creative test. As a rule, people with artistic abilities come here, those who worked in design studios, participated in competitions in construction projects. As in all state universities, in architecture and construction there are budget places, the number of which does not decrease over time.

The work of architects and builders in recent decades has become more creative and interesting. If in Soviet times, mostly faceless standard boxes were built, now all kinds of architectural styles are used even in the construction of small country houses. And modern technologies and materials contribute to the rapid construction of the most durable, tall, beautiful buildings that can withstand various natural influences: low sub-zero temperatures, strong winds, seismic activity.

The profession of an architect is divided into several specializations:

• urban planning;
• landscape;
• design;
• restoration.
• Builders also, depending on the type of activity, have several specializations:
• civil engineer;
• design engineers of various systems (water supply, electric lighting, heating);
• engineer estimator;
• foreman

The construction industry is cutting-edge, it always goes ahead of all industries. First, an object is built, and only then production or other life activity arises in it. Therefore, the professions of an architect and builder will always be honorable and in demand.

The average Russian competition for one "architectural" place is quite high. The determining factor is the requirement from applicants to display their creative potential, without which it will be very difficult at the architectural one. This is the reason for the fact that many enter such faculties after art school, already having behind them the basic skills of creation, creativity and design. All this knowledge, if any, will be very useful to a person, starting from the first year: studying at architectural universities, students are forced to draw a lot (manually, or - later - using special application programs).

Top ten universities

There are quite a lot of well-known universities in this field in Russia, but we will give only 10 of them:

1. (SFU or RSU - Rostov State University).
2. (MARCHI).
3. (SPbGASU)
4. (GUZ), located in Moscow
5. (URFU)
6. (NNGASU).
7. Siberian Federal University (SFU) - city of Krasnoyarsk.
8. Military Engineering and Technical University of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation (VITU).
9. (MGSU).

The quality of education and the prospects arising from it

The quality of education in Russian architectural universities should eventually reach a higher level. When preparing the relevant plans, the authorized bodies take as a basis, first of all, the American model of architectural education.

According to this model, after graduating from an accredited program, a student goes on to an internship. Here he receives more in-depth knowledge, both in design and in architectural supervision in construction and architecture.

After the internship, professional licensing of the graduate's knowledge should be carried out. The license, which gives the owner the right to conduct architectural and construction activities, is renewed once a year - on the basis of mandatory advanced training. With this scheme of professional positioning, the graduate will have every chance to become a sought-after specialist.

An architect, if he wants to keep up with life, must know and be able to apply not only architectural forms, ornaments and various decorative elements, he must know progressive materials, reinforced concrete structures and details, and, above all, must be well versed in the issues of construction economics.

In this article, we will list the well-known and most sought-after architectural universities in Russia, and with this we will answer the question of where to go for a graduate who wants to bring beauty into this world on a large scale.

MARCHI

This abbreviation stands for Moscow Architectural Institute, sometimes also referred to as the State Academy. This history of which has been going on for more than two and a half centuries (despite the date of foundation of the institute itself in 1933 by the decision of the Politburo, in fact, it was the successor of the traditions of the first specialized Moscow architectural school, established back in 1749), is a leader in the production of specialists in the field of architecture and construction. To be more precise, professionals in the field of reconstruction, restoration, and architectural design are trained here. The State Academy itself was accredited by the world-famous organization RIBA, or the Royal Institute of Architects of Great Britain. Like some other architectural universities in Russia, the Moscow Architectural Institute offers young people a respite from the army that is relevant for them, and, without exception, provides all students in need with housing in a hostel. Within the walls of the institute, you can get a state diploma at the following departments:
