HOW TO APPLY

Step 1:

Program Duration

1. The duration of most bachelor degree programs is 4 years. There are exceptions, however. For example, degree programs in Architecture take 5 years to complete.
2. It takes 2 years to complete a master's degree. 
3. It takes approximately 3-4 years to complete a PhD degree. 

Our University doesn't offer English-taught programs. So an applicant can't apply directly to an undergraduate program if he doesn't know Russian. To be admitted to all our degree programmes the first and the most important thing is to know Russian language. You should be able to read, write and speak Russian well. So you should submit a relevant certificate of Russian language or if you do not speak Russian you have to take a pre-university Russian language course and get a relevant certificate, before proceeding to our academic degree course. You are welcome to our pre-University Russian language course.

If you already know Russian language and you have a relevant certificate at the moment of entry exams, you should choose the programmes of study of your interest here: BSc courses or MSc courses.

Step 2: 

Be aware of the following fact: all international students don't get any scholarships from our University.  The scholarships for international citizens to study for free in any Russian University are given only by Russian government in case of your timely application on this website. Usually you can start to apply for such scholarships annually starting from October and till January. Even if you don't manage to apply for the scholarship on time to cover your expenses for the 1st year of study, you can do it being already a 1st year student to cover your tuition fees for the subsequent years of study. The scholarship covers only tutition fees.
