It's a rather renown university in the post-soviet space , but i wonder - has anyone heard of it in the western world. What could you say about it ? How does the level of education there compare to other universities.
I look forward to hearing any comments :)

Good University there are Professors teaching here in the U.S. that are from Russia and some hold degrees from UIPT and others from other known Russian Universities as well. Saint-Petersburg State also has a good Space program if your interested below.

It's my general understanding that undergraduate schools outside of the US are harder than undergraduate schools in the US. This is assuming we are talking about a good school in the specific country, not something backwater.
 
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
