Regular semester courses at MGU start on September 1st and on February 10th every year. Short-term courses (min 2 weeks) are possible upon request. As an officially registered student card, you will get an MGU student card and enjoy many benefits and reduction on travel through Russia.

Prior to enrollment at Moscow State University, all foreign students are required to pass a Russian language test. Foreign students with beginner's knowledge of Russian are required to take a one year preparation course at the University Center for International Education, which provides sufficient knowledge of Russian to enter any department. Students with more advanced knowledge can take a one semester course or prepare individually for the exam (e.g. following our individual language courses). The entry exam requires foreign students to reach level 2 of the TORFL test, which means that you must be able to understand and write in Russian and have had a minimum of one year full-time tuition in Russian language.

If you would like to study for a short time in Moscow and transfer back to your home university, we will be glad to help you transferring your credits earned at MGU. As Moscow State University is one of the leading educational institutions in Russia, credit approval is usually not a problem.

Please note that the duration of studies is 8 semesters to obtain a BSc/BA degree, 4 semesters (provided you have a BSc/BA degree) to obtain a MSc/MA degree, and 6 semesters to obtain a Ph.D. degree.

With the following online application form, you can enroll in any course at MGU of your choice. We will check all applications carefully and reply to those who are eligible with more details about how to proceed (sending certificates, passport copies, etc.).
