• Core institutional information https://mai.ru/sveden/common/

  The official disclosure page gives MAI's full and short names and the university address.

  Used as the primary public source for identifying the Moscow Aviation Institute card.

• Basic higher education https://priem.mai.ru/base/

  The official admissions page describes the new modular model: students gradually specify their educational pathway through the choice of design object, professional role, and future workplace.

  It also says that unified first two years allow students to change pathways and fields of study, so the model is treated as post-admission main-track choice.

• 2026 state-funded admissions plan https://priem.mai.ru/orders/plan/common/

  The official 2026 admissions plan separates basic higher education programs lasting 4 years and 5.5 years.

  Used to verify the duration range for MAI's current basic higher education admissions track.

• How MAI students build individual learning pathways https://mai.ru/press/news/detail.php?ID=187731

  The official 2026 article explains that MAI's engineering programs moved to a modular system in which students choose electives and a development track: production, entrepreneurship, or management.

  Used as conceptual evidence for the model; course-choice assessment was additionally checked against curriculum plans.

• Mobile Communication Systems program https://priem.mai.ru/base/programs/sistemy-mobilnoy-svyazi/

  The basic higher education program page shows that students specify their pathway from field and design object to professional role, while the core includes elective choices in the humanities and digital modules.

  Used as a program-level example of how the general modular model appears in an engineering specialty.

• Informatics program https://priem.mai.ru/base/programs/informatika/

  The 01.03.02 page describes a 4-year program and choices in humanities, business, digital, and professional modules.

  It confirms that modular choice repeats beyond one radio-engineering program, but it does not show an unrestricted university-wide course catalog.

• 11.05.01 Mobile Communication Systems curriculum https://priem.mai.ru/upload/iblock/6a1/hc9gxki98v6tdnrmxc4x6tsmneew0md6/11.05.01.BV3_Sistemy-mobilnoi_-svyazi_2024.pdf

  The basic higher education curriculum confirms a 5-year 6-month duration and records large elective blocks in both the core and professional parts of the program.

  The options are distributed by thematic modules, so the plan supports distribution-style choice rather than unrestricted course selection.

• 01.03.02 Applied Mathematics and Informatics curriculum https://priem.mai.ru/upload/iblock/0ee/69o69ubrnhnzml3e6rbf7ktx245dsgur/01_03_02_Prikladnaya_matematika_i_informatika_kaf_806.pdf

  The bachelor's curriculum confirms a 4-year duration and contains a large elective block inside the participant-formed part of the program.

  Used as an IT-field curriculum: electives are substantial in workload, but they appear as modular alternatives within a specific program.

• Higher Education Monitoring 2025: MAI https://monitoring.miccedu.ru/iam/2025/_vpo/inst.php?id=131

  The 2025 higher education monitoring profile reports 17,244 bachelor, specialist, and master students across all study modes.

  The bachelor and specialist fields are calculated from the published shares: bachelor students are 50.78% and master students are 17.08%. The profile does not give a separate specialist share, so the specialist value is a derived remainder.
