In the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) the department of theoretical physics is one of the basic departments providing fundamental education for students. The department instructs secondtofifth year students of all departments. The course of theoretical physics completes the fundamental education on physics.

Academician and Nobel Prize winner L. D. Landau was the first head of the department from 1946 to 1951. Many of his notable students (L. P. Gor'kov, I. M. Khalatnikov, E. M. Lifshitz, A. I. Larkin) taught at the department for various time. Some of the Landau doctoral students are still teaching. One of them, Professor S. S. Gershtein, is also one of first members of the Landau Theoretical Division in the Kapitza Institute for Physical Problems. The Landau scientific school formulated the fundamentals of instruction on theoretical physics in MIPT.
