The Russian government runs a programme designed to help talented international students to study at leading Russian universities without paying fees. As a state-recognised federal high education institution, GAUGN is part of this programme.
Check with the Russian Embassy or Rossotrudnichestvo office in your country if you are eligible, and which deadlines and criteria must be met.
| Do you charge fees for BA, MA or PhD programmes? | Depending on your status (for example, but not exclusively, as a federal quota student), you may study for free. The fees applicable for each faculty can be found here. GAUGN is committed to keeping education costs low for its students, and it offers a flexible system of grants fully or partially covering learning and/or housing costs, scholarships and other incentives based on academic merit or social circumstances. You can fill in an Application Form here. |
| Do you provide rooms in a student dorm? | Yes, GAUGN has a working agreement with the Academy of Sciences dormitory. You can select a place in a double room or a single room. Dormitory fee waivers can be offered to international students who do not dispose of significant income or come from a socially disadvantaged background. |
| Will your degree be recognised in my home country? |
A large number of countries have mutual recognition agreements with Russia. Check with your national education authority (or here), if this apply in your case. Alternatively, almost all countries have standard recognition (nostrification) procedures for foreign degrees; check with your national education authority which rules & regulations will apply. |
