UniversitiesMoscow is home to Russia’s most renowned higher education institutions. Lomonosov Moscow State University, Sechenov Medical Academy of Moscow, Bauman Moscow State Technical University, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Moscow State Mining University, to name just a few, have won wide acclaim both inside and outside of Russia, and their alumni are highly esteemed on the global labour market. Currently nearly a million foreign graduates of Russian and Soviet universities work in 160 countries. Recently, Russia’s higher education system has been growing more transparent, developing scientific ties globally. Thus takes place a convergence of educational systems in Russia and other countries of the Bologna Process. These trends will enhance the integration of Moscow universities into the global educational system. A specialized multilingual web-site “Education in Russia for Foreigners” presents main educational establishments based in Moscow, educational programmes, covers financial issues and other practical tips. While Moscow students are studying abroad to gain a deeper knowledge of various sciences, Moscow is greeting foreign students seeking to receive their education in Russia. Moscow universities and institutes offer various studying options. Students can study full-time, combine their studies with part-time work (evening courses), or take up extra-mural or mixed training activities. Distance learning courses have been developing the most proactively, involving an ever increasing range of advanced information technology. Moscow grants foreign specialists an opportunity to perfect their knowledge in postgraduate courses and doctoral training programmes, as well as to get their second or third degree. Moscow universities have been producing highly qualified experts, many of whom already boast discoveries in their field, highly educated people given to fundamental research who seek scientific innovations, and competent specialists bestowed with profound insight into the global realities in their respective areas of focus. All you need to do is pick the educational institution you need and join the huge crowd of Moscow students. Good luck! January 25, 1755, on St. Tatiana’s Day according to the Russian Orthodox Church calendar the decree on the opening of the Moscow University, the largest, oldest and the most prestigious college in the country, was signed. In 1791 the university house church was consecrated by the name of St. Tatiana. The original temple was located in the right wing of the old building, but in 1812 it was destroyed by fire. In 1837 the new place for the church was consecrated — a rebuilt “theater” wing of the building newly bought nearby, where the church is located today. In the second half of XIX century Tatiana’s Day was the unofficial student holiday, a widely celebrated by the scholars’ fraternity of Moscow. In 2005, the President of Russia Vladimir Putin signed a decree which announced Jan. 25 the Students’ Day in Russia. And though Moscow University is the centre of the festivities, students across the country celebrate Tatiana’s Day — the day of their patron saint.
