History of MGIMO

Moscow state institute international relations, founded in 1944, is considered the oldest center where international specialists were trained. By the decision of the Council of People's Commissars (October 14, 1944), it was decided to create this educational institution from international faculty Moscow State University. After the opening, there were only three faculties at MGIMO: economics, international and law. In the first set, there were only 200 students, but since 1946 they began to send applicants from foreign countries to study.

In 1954, there was a merger with MIV (Moscow Institute of Oriental Studies). As a result, an eastern department and a unique Lazarev library appeared in the university, which was famous for its collection of oriental literature. In 1958, the Foreign Trade Institute (established in 1934) became part of MGIMO. Due to this circumstance, the training of specialists in foreign economic activity has significantly increased, and there has been an expansion of the Faculty of Economics. In 1969, the Faculty of International Journalism and the Faculty of International Law were solemnly opened at the Institute, and in 1991 - the Faculty of International business and business administration.

In 1994, the Moscow State Institute of International Relations was deservedly awarded the status of a university. In 1998, the Faculty of Political Science was opened. In 2000, for better training of specialists in international cooperation, the International Institute of Energy Policy and Diplomacy is being formed at the university. In 2011, the Institute of Foreign Economic Relations was transformed into the Faculty of Applied Economics and Commerce.

After the bachelor's degree, it is possible to continue your studies in the magistracy, to obtain the required master's degree. The training of masters at the university began to be carried out since 1994, today there are 48 special master's programs in 13 directions. Also, after receiving a diploma of higher education, a student, if desired, can be trained in graduate school and doctoral studies, and quality training is provided in graduate school scientific personnel in 28 specialties, applicants are accepted on a competitive basis, subject to availability higher education or any achievements in scientific work.

Additional MGIMO opportunities for students

A hostel is provided for visiting applicants. The university has four dormitories with all the necessary amenities for living. For settlement, you must submit an appropriate application when submitting documents (in Admission Committee), accommodation occurs after payment for accommodation. MGIMO hosts annual competitions for scholarships, in addition, students have the opportunity to receive various nominal scholarships, and grants are provided for teachers.

There is a military department at MGIMO, where hundreds of officers (military translators) were trained in their specialty. This department was founded in 1944, graduates of qualified specialists successfully perform their tasks in the period military service. For those wishing to become the owner of a second higher education, the university offers special programs for obtaining necessary knowledge. Today, more and more career development a diploma is required, so the university provides an opportunity to get a second higher education in the most popular areas - economics and law.

There is also an opportunity to receive vocational education for those who already have a diploma of higher education. Training is conducted at the Institute of Additional Professional Education, in addition to this at the European educational institute advanced training courses on economics, law and EU politics are held. Upon completion of training, students are issued a state certificate (or certificate).

The structure of the university includes 5 institutes, 8 faculties, there is also a School of Business and International Competencies, intensive training takes place at 20 language departments in 54 foreign languages. In 2013, this educational institution successfully passed international accreditation all available educational programs.

The rector of the university is academician, doctor of sciences, professor Torkunov Anatoly Vasilyevich, who has been performing these duties since 1992. In the BRICS ranking, MGIMO is among the top five universities in Russia. The following criteria were taken into account when conducting the study: academic reputation, reviews and reputation among employers, the presence of an academic degree among the teaching staff, the number foreign students etc.

The Moscow State Institute of International Relations has made a significant contribution to the intensive development of the science of regional studies, international law and relationships, many textbooks and scientific works. At the same time, MGIMO maintains partnerships with many educational institutions CIS and abroad. Thanks to this, specialists graduating from this university are always in demand and employment does not cause complications.

British consulting company Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) made its next rating top universities peace. This time the study concerned the success of graduates of the world's universities after graduation and their demand in the labor market. The Graduate Employability Rankings was first compiled in 2014 and included two hundred of the world's leading universities, and this year it has been expanded to 500. Thanks to this, in new rating of the best universities in the world in terms of the success of their graduates now includes 11 Russian universities (in the past - 7).

According to Quacquarelli Symonds, the leader among Russian universities in terms of graduate success is Moscow State University, which ranks 111-120 in the overall ranking of the best universities in the world. A year earlier, the same university was also the leader among Russian universities, but then it was in the range of 101-150. Taken second place this year State University of St. Petersburg(101-150), which changed places with MGIMO(201-250). In addition to these educational institutions the ranking of the best universities in the world in terms of graduate success includes Graduate School Economy(251-300) and MSTU, MIPT, MEPhI, MISiS, PRUE, Novosibirsk state university, Tomsk state university(all 301-500).

As for the winner of the rating, he, like last year, was Stanford University(USA). But the second two places this year are occupied by completely different universities than in the past. So, he climbed to second place from fifteenth University of California (Los Angeles), and on the third Harvard. A year earlier, these places were occupied by Massachusetts technological Institute (USA) and Tsinghua University(Beijing).

When compiling the ranking of the best universities in the world according to the success of their graduates Quacquarelli Symonds took into account five parameters from which the overall result was formed. Reputation among employers had the highest weight (30%). Here, the leader among Russian universities was Moscow State University(64th place). The second most important is the index of professional achievements of graduates (25%), where the best among domestic universities became Moscow State University(15), which last year was the third in the world. The next indicator reflects the partnership between the university and the employer (25%). Here we can state the fact of failure for Russian universities, since none of them was among the leaders - all 11 were without certain places, located in the range of 201-500. The last two indices have a weight of 10% each, and reflect the participation of employer representatives in the life of the university and the employment of graduates after graduation. According to the first leader among Russian educational institutions was Saint Petersburg State University (20), and according to the second - MGIMO(1), which for the second year in a row becomes the best in the world.

10/17/17 | MGIMO Strengthens Its Position in the QS BRICS Ranking

On November 22, the international agency QS published the fifth anniversary edition of the ranking of higher educational institutions of the BRICS countries - QS University Rankings: BRICS. Ranking universities in Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, was first produced in 2013. In 2017, MGIMO moved up by four positions and ranked 40th out of more than 9,000 universities in this country group.

In the current version of the rating table, the list of finalists has been expanded to 300 titles - the maximum figure in the last five years. China is represented by 94 educational institutions (86 - in 2016), and Russia - by 68 universities (55 - in 2016), ranking second after China in terms of total universities reflected in the final list. India is represented by 65 universities, Brazil - 61, and South Africa - 12.

MGIMO entered the top ten Russian universities, mainly classical, engineering and natural sciences, represented in the TOP-50. Our university has strengthened its positions in such indicators as student-faculty ratio (11th place in BRICS), share of foreign students (20th place), share of foreign teachers (77th place), reputation among employers (26th place).

In general, according to QS analysts, this year Russian universities have demonstrated the best dynamics over the past five years. There are now 25 Russian universities in the top hundred of the ranking (19 in 2016). Nevertheless, despite the significant growth of Russian universities, Chinese universities remain the undisputed leaders of the ranking - this year 39 Chinese universities entered the first hundred, including seven Chinese universities that appear in the QS BRICS TOP-10. Of the Russian universities, only Moscow State University was in the top ten (5th place against 7th a year earlier).

The BRICS rating is included in the family of regional ratings of the QS agency. The ranking of universities is based on comparative analysis universities according to eight criteria: academic reputation (30%), reputation among employers (20%), the ratio of the number of students and faculty of the university (20%), the percentage of foreign students and foreign teachers in the university (2.5% each) , the number of citations per published article (5%). In addition to traditional criteria, the proportion of teachers with degree(10%) and the number of published articles per teacher (10%).

10/17/17 | MGIMO among the best Russian universities in the EECA ranking

This year, 300 universities made it to the final QS list. Russia was represented by 97 universities (last year - 64), of which 3 universities were in the top 5, 13 universities took places in the top 50, and a total of 74 Russian universities were in the final table of the top 250 published on the QS website .

The ranking of universities is formed on the basis of a comparative analysis of universities according to six criteria: academic reputation (30%), reputation among employers (20%), the ratio of the number of students and university faculty (15%), the percentage of foreign students and foreign teachers in the university ( 2.5% each), the number of citations per published article (5%). In addition to traditional criteria, the share of teachers with a scientific degree (5%) and the number of published articles per teacher (10%) are additionally taken into account, as well as the effectiveness of Internet resources (10%) is assessed.

MGIMO ranked 33rd in the 2017/18 ranking general list and 9th place in Russia. Compared to 2016, the University has significantly improved its positions (up 16 positions in Russia and more than 40 in the region) in such qualitative areas as the ratio of students and teachers, the share of foreigners in the student and teaching contingent, the share of degree teachers, and also retained high positions in the region in surveys of representatives of the academic and professional communities.

09/12/17 | MGIMO among the world's best universities in the QS ranking for employment

The pilot project of the rating was launched in 2015, but already in this short period of time it has gained wide popularity. As conceived by the creators, it should allow a closer look at how world universities interact with potential employers of their graduates, how they position themselves in the international labor market, as well as graduates of which universities are in demand by employers and achieve greatest heights in the professional field.

During the preparation of the 2018 QS GER ranking, QS experts analyzed more than 30,000 employer surveys, personal files of more than 30,000 of the most outstanding and successful university graduates, about 130,000 employer-student contacts online and on campus (in the format of Career Days, lectures, master classes, etc.) and about 200,000 internship agreements between universities and employers. This year, the data of 600 world universities were studied in detail (in 2016 - 300), of which 500 were included in the final list of the QS GER ranking (in 2016 - 200). Russia this year is represented by 13 universities (in 2016 - 7), of which 11 were in the top 500.

This year, QS specialists have significantly adjusted their methodology, which has affected the final results of many universities. MGIMO took a place in the range of 201–250 in the global QS GER ranking and retained its place in the top three universities in Russia (after classical universities represented by Lomonosov Moscow State University and St. Petersburg State University), demonstrating high results for individual indicators. In particular, our university took first place in Russia in terms of the level of employment of graduates during the first six months after graduation, third place in terms of the level of professional achievements of graduates, and also fourth place in surveys among representatives of employers, and at the same time improved its position in Russia in the field of existing links between MGIMO and employers.

In addition to the traditional criterion "Reputation among employers" (typical for most QS ratings), additional parameters were taken into account, such as professional achievements graduates, the cooperation of the university with employers, the presence and participation of representatives of employers in the life of the university, as well as the proportion of employed graduates.

07/11/17 | MGIMO in the first national ranking of universities

On July 11, at a meeting of the public council of the project "Modernization of education" of the party " United Russia”, the results of the first national ranking of universities of the Russian Federation “Three Missions of Universities” were announced. The top twenty Russian universities this year are presented without specifying specific places.

From Moscow universities, the list of the best educational institutions includes: MGIMO of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Bauman Moscow State Technical University, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, NUST MISIS, National Research Nuclear University MEPhI, First Moscow State Medical University named after I.M. , Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, RANEPA under the President of the Russian Federation, Russian State University of Oil and Gas (NRU) named after I.M. Gubkin, Russian National Research Medical University named after N.I. Pirogov of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, Peoples' Friendship University of Russia.

Among the regional educational institutions, the top 20 included Kazan federal university, Novosibirsk State University, Tomsk State University, Tomsk politechnical University, Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin.

Background

In 2014, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed to create a national ranking of universities. Its task is to show the society and the universities themselves the state of affairs in the university in each direction of its activity.

On November 2, 2016, the Moscow International University Ranking "Three Missions of the University" began its work. The founders of the project are the Russian Union of Rectors and Russian Academy Sciences. The Association of Rating Compilers became the operator, among the founders of which are Research Center"Expert RA", VTsIOM and other organizations.

Universities in the ranking are evaluated according to 35 indicators, reflecting the three main missions of the university in modern world: "education", "science", "university and society". Moreover, unlike the three currently recognized global world rankings of universities (THE, QS, ARWU), the largest weight - about 40% - in the new international ranking will be the assessment of the educational mission of higher education institutions.

35 indicators are combined into five groups, each of which has a certain weight in the final assessment: “education” (40%), “science” (30%), “internationalization”, “sustainability and development potential”, “ Remote education"- 10% each.

On June 8, the leading international rating agency Quacquarelli Symonds (Great Britain) published the next ranking of the best universities in the world - QS World University Ranking (QSWUR). We talked about the positions of MGIMO in it, the features of the ranking methodology and the ranking strategy of our university with the Vice-Rector for Master's and International Programs Andrey Baikov .

Andrey Anatolyevich, first of all, what place did MGIMO take this year and what has been the dynamics of the rating positions of our University over the past years?

This year, MGIMO took 373rd place in the ranking and 7th place among Russian universities. How to evaluate this indicator? First of all, let's not forget that we are talking about 373rd place among the 980 best world educational institutions, selected by experts from more than 26,000 universities around the world. This is the top 1-2% of all really working higher educational institutions, in which today in different parts the globe young people get higher education.

At the same time, traditionally the fiercest competition is observed among universities in the top 400 of the final table, especially in its fourth hundred. This is, as it were, a springboard for getting into the range where strong changes are already unlikely, and in the top 50 or top 20 they are almost indistinguishable year after year.

But in the interval from 301st to 400th place (and the closer to the leader, the more true this thesis) the position of the university may worsen even with a change in tenths of the so-called. scores- scores, or points, awarded to each university.

If we talk about the dynamics of our university, then again I emphasize that due to high competition and a targeted policy of many universities to strengthen their positions in the ranking, fluctuations can reach very noticeable values. In 2011, we simultaneously stepped through more than two hundred places and moved from the range of 601-610 to 389th position, in 2012 we were 367th, a year later we sank to 386th place, then dropped to 399th. And last year they literally soared almost fifty places to the 350th line of the rating.

Does this mean that relative to September 2016 (and this year the release date of the rating was moved to June), that is, over the past 9 months, the university has become worse by 23 positions? Of course no. It's just the mechanism and rules of rating. And they should be treated with appropriate amendments to the methodology, as well as to the fact that for some universities the increase in positions in the ranking is part of the overall strategy, and significant resources are allocated for this, while for others, such as MGIMO, this is an important, but only one of many indicators of external evaluation of the quality of our training.

Could you at least briefly describe the geographic coverage of the rating, the components of its methodology and the features of their evaluation?

- QS WUR has been published since 2004 and, along with the Shanghai and Times magazine rankings Higher Education, is one of the "big three" of the most authoritative international university rankings.

AT current year universities from 84 countries were evaluated. The palm for the number of participating universities is all last years held by the United States of America (157 universities). The top five countries also include the UK (76), Germany (45), Japan (43) and France (39). Russia is represented by 24 universities.

Universities are ranked on the basis of a comparative analysis according to six criteria: scientific reputation (40%), employers' reviews (10%), citations per one scientific and pedagogical worker (20%), student-teacher ratio (20%), share of foreign students and teachers (5% each).

The peculiarity of all such rankings is that universities are ranked in common table based not on objective parameters, but relative to the leading university in each of the aspects of the assessment, the indicators of which are taken as 100. In other words, in order to stay in the same place, it is not enough just to improve objective indicators, you need to do it at the same pace as universities occupying the lower positions. Accordingly, in order to grow, it is necessary to go ahead at a faster pace. It seems to me that the latter is generally the key to understanding the entire rating race and its laws. The weakening or strengthening of positions is not directly related to real processes in a single university, but characterizes the dynamics of the main trends in the global university community. If a university, for example, increased the number of foreign students by 5% over the year, and all the others below it in the table by at least 5.5%, then this university can roll back several dozen positions in the “internationalization” parameter, which is inevitable will lead to a decrease in the overall result. By the way, we have similar situation occurred this year in terms of the ratio of citations to one scientific and pedagogical worker: with an objective improvement in this indicator by more than ten times compared to 2011 and more than twice compared to last year, we nevertheless lost here 46 rating positions. The reason is that the Russian technical and engineering universities showed an explosive growth in publishing activity at a rate far ahead of us.

- To begin with, MGIMO has been in the top 400 in the QS WUR ranking since 2011 and remains the only liberal arts university from Russia. It is rather difficult for humanities and social science universities in general to make their way to the top of universal ratings such as QS or THE, since they were originally designed to evaluate classical research universities with a full line of specialties. The example of MGIMO is unique in this sense. There are only 5-6 universities of this type in the top 400: the Parisian Science Po, we, the London School of Economics, SOAS ( british school Oriental and African Studies) and some other universities from the system University of London. All the rest are classical, engineering or technical universities.

I would answer your question in the following way: we are pleased to state that the results of 2017 reflect the success of the University in priority areas its activities enshrined in the strategic development program of MGIMO until 2020. First of all, the rating recorded an increase in the attractiveness of MGIMO graduates among employers. This is confirmed by the strengthening of positions in reputation surveys among the largest Russian and international companies and organizations. According to this indicator, MGIMO has risen by 26 positions.

In addition, thanks to the significant support from the alumni-trustees, the large-scale program of internationalization of education initiated three years ago, aimed at attracting highly qualified foreign teachers to the university and expanding the range of international educational programs, obviously produces significant results. The latter are aimed both at foreign school graduates and bachelors of the world's best universities. And this is not an exaggeration: for our flagship master's program in international relations, created by the first in Russia together with Science Po back in 1994, this year we recruited graduates from Yale, Oxford, Cambridge, University, Imperial and King's Colleges of the University of London, London School Economics and other prestigious universities. Moreover, a student from Yale came to us with an average score of a bachelor's degree of 3.95 out of 4, and graduates of Oxford and Cambridge - with diplomas of "first class" (we would call them red diplomas), which is a rare thing for these universities. On the whole, according to the aggregate indicator of internationalization, MGIMO has risen in this year's QS rating by 140 (!) positions.

Finally, since 2011 MGIMO has been confidently among the best Russian and foreign universities in terms of the quality of education, ranking 34th in the world for the second year in a row in terms of the ratio of the number of teachers and students.

And this last indicator is key for us. Indeed, from the moment of its creation, MGIMO was conceived primarily as a center for the practical training of future diplomats. The latter had a specific impact on the structure of the teaching staff of our University, more than half of which are employees of practical organizations and teachers of foreign languages. They not only conduct classes in foreign languages, but are also engaged in active translation work. And we primarily focus these teachers on a high pedagogical class in the classroom. But the rankings are not adapted to take into account such approaches to education. Therefore, specialized universities such as MGIMO are represented very narrowly in such ratings. I would even say that they are uncomfortable here. It is no coincidence that you will not find the French l "ENA there, and the already mentioned British SOAS, one of the world leaders in Oriental and African studies, is only in 296th place in it.

MGIMO is still considering a strong language training, few study groups and the applied nature of educational programs as its main, “branded” advantages over competitors, although it is aware that the reverse side of these advantages is the objective limitations of scientific productivity indicators on average for the teaching staff.

In other words, is some lag in terms of scientific productivity a certain price to pay for maintaining a high level of language and practical training of students, for an exclusive, almost tutor-like approach to learning?

Not certainly in that way. Ratings, all without exception, evaluate the scientific results of the university based on the entire teaching staff. With our student-to-faculty ratio of around 1:4, it is a huge challenge to provide indicators comparable to universities where all teachers are researchers at the same time. But what has been said does not mean at all that research work is not carried out at the university.

MGIMO has a team of actively published world-class scientists who are recognized by Russian and foreign colleagues. For these scientists, as well as for graduate students and young researchers, the University has created and is improving a system of comprehensive methodological and expert assistance in preparing and writing scientific publications that meet the highest standards of academic excellence.

The large-scale program of publishing MGIMO textbooks, which have earned well-deserved fame at universities in Russia and the post-Soviet space, is also ongoing. Here, it seems to me, it is important to recall that the predominant orientation towards the reflection of research results in the form of articles in foreign journals began to emerge in Russian social science - in contrast to colleagues from the technical, natural sciences and engineering fields, much later - only by the end of the 2000s years. For a long time, it was monographic and educational literature that was the basis of the publication "repertoire" of Soviet and Russian humanities professors. And this work, despite any ratings, we consider extremely important and in demand by society and intend to continue it.

Andrey Anatolyevich, how would you, taking into account the reservations and explanations made, formulate the meaning and purpose of MGIMO's participation in international ratings? Maybe those specialized universities are right, which in principle do not participate in the ratings?

There is not and cannot be a clear answer to this question. On the one hand, for example, we are not included in the 5-100 program and, as you rightly noted, we do not have an obligation to submit data to rating agencies every year. As, by the way, some of our foreign partners do, for example, the University of Rome LUISS or the French HEC, which, not participating in the ranking competition, nevertheless remain recognized leaders in national and world education systems. At the same time, MGIMO is one of the pioneers of the international rating movement in Russia. And, having embarked on this path more than six years ago, the University still sees in this process important sources of self-development and self-improvement. Every year we follow the dynamics of our rating positions with great attention and interest, especially in terms of individual indicators, we carefully analyze the reports sent by the agency. Colleagues from QS, it must be admitted, are doing a colossal constructive work in this regard, and completely disinterestedly. For us, this is primarily a highly effective tool for managing development, monitoring progress and adjusting the strategy being implemented. In particular, this applies to our priority areas - internationalization, deepening cooperation with practical organizations and maintaining high quality standards of training.

06/05/17 | MGIMO took second place in the rating of the Superjob portal

The Superjob portal has published a rating of the 20 best universities in Russia in terms of salaries of graduates working in IT, legal and financial sector. MGIMO ranked second among universities whose graduates turned out to be the most highly paid specialists after graduation. The study analyzed the salary levels of young professionals with professional experience who received a diploma in 2011-2016.

When compiling the rating, specialists took into account the salary adjusted for the average salary in a particular city, which is claimed by young specialists, from the moment of graduation of which it has been from one to five years. In addition, it took into account GPA USE required for admission, as well as the percentage of graduates remaining to work in the city of study.

MGIMO took second place in the rating in two of the three areas analyzed by experts - in the field of economics and finance and in the field of jurisprudence.

10.02.17 | Russian students rated universities

Moscow State University of Law named after Kutafin, National Research Nuclear University MEPhI, St. Petersburg State University and MGIMO are recognized as the best Russian universities in terms of students. On Thursday, the second rating "Russian universities through the eyes of students" was published. The outsiders of the study were Kazan Federal University, MAI and Ural Federal University. Most often, students complain about elderly age teachers and lack of communication with the management of the university. However, outsider universities consider the data obtained to be untrue.

On Thursday in Moscow, the results of the study "Russian universities through the eyes of students-2017" were presented. During the year, 600 students from 85 regions left feedback about their university on the platform of the "Typical Applicant" project, which unites Russian applicants. Based on the results of the analysis of 438 pages of text, a rating was compiled. Best Universities recognized by Kutafin Moscow State University of Law, National Research Nuclear University MEPhI, St. Petersburg State University, MGIMO, RANEPA, Far Eastern Federal University, Novosibirsk National Research State University, St. Petersburg State electrotechnical university LETI, Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas and Plekhanov Russian University of Economics.

In the responses, students most often touched on the topics of the age of teachers, the presence of a hostel, corruption, the attitude of the university management, the position of the university in the rankings and the level of difficulty of study. In particular, both the high teaching load and the too low one were criticized.

A graduate of this university: I would like to share my impressions from 4 years
studies at the Faculty of International Journalism of MGIMO. Let's point by point:

1. Languages
It has been repeatedly written here that MGIMO focuses on languages. It's like that. And it's also an absolute lottery - you can't choose the language. AT more As for the faculty of the Moscow Region, it is the strictest with this. But it's the same with MJ. Here they give more European languages, but once every five years there is both Serbo-Croatian and Chinese. Think ten times if you want to spend all your free time and nerves to endless transfers(usually political). A huge plus, however, is that if you still love your language and work hard on it, many opportunities will open up for you. From overseas internships to part-time jobs. Almost all of my part-time jobs at the university were somehow related to the language.

2. Specialty training
Well, it's pointless to comment on anything here. You will not be trained as a journalist here. However, I am not at all sure that there are universities in Russia that are able to cope with this task. Programs become obsolete too quickly. Now people practically do not read newspapers - only Internet portals, agree? And at MJ MGIMO there are just a bunch of subjects dedicated to newspaper journalism, and this main love head of the specialized department. For several semesters he will broadcast to you about Soviet newspapers and demand that you know their circulation. But why?....... Why write newspaper reports in pairs? Learn to make up a newspaper?
To be fair, there really were a couple of useful and interesting items. Pair. Not more.
Secondly, journalism is a practice. You won't get it at the faculty. There is a master class for a journalist, which is often taught by people who either have never worked in journalism at all or have long since retired from the profession.
All the professional journalists I came to for internships said that for a career in journalism, you have to go and work. And here we are faced with the next point.

3. Work
At MGIMO, it is almost impossible to combine studies with a full-time job. First, very large study loads. Secondly, attendance is monitored quite strictly, which affects grades. There are exceptions, but they are rare.

4. Contingent
The problem of journalism as a phenomenon rather than MGIMO is a very uneven gender composition. There are few boys, and they are trying in every possible way to encourage them to somehow dilute the woman's kingdom. When there are only girls in the team, showdowns often take place from scratch. Plus, there are a lot of ambitious Olympiads who are ready to kill you in order to be the first to answer at the seminar. But here everything depends very much on the group.
But at MGIMO, contrary to stereotypes, there is practically no problem of social stratification - Olympiads from Ryazan region, and golden youth from the Rublevsky highway. Teachers look at the knowledge of the subject, and at the seminars everyone is equal. But still there is a problem with those who are richer and dumber - and these are not bribes. I have never heard of bribes in tests or exams. However, it is almost always possible to write off. Some classmates came to each exam with some ultra-modern inconspicuous headphones, in which tickets were dictated to them. More golden youth very often buys analytical references and coursework. And at that moment, when you bring your honestly written term paper, and the chicken on stilettos proudly puts “her” beautifully bound work next to it, and you know that she didn’t even lift a manicured finger to do at least something, you start thinking about worker-peasant uprising

They exist, and it is not for nothing that MGIMO is the leader in the lists of graduate employment. Those who want to join the Foreign Ministry can try their luck at the Foreign Ministry (boys are especially welcome). Very often there is work related to your foreign language. Several classmates work directly in their specialty - namely with international political news. Someone goes to the magistracy (by the way, do not enter the magistracy of the MF for anything, there are fewer language pairs than in the bachelor's program, and there are more meaningless subjects).

Conclusion:
In general, looking at the state Russian education and on Russian journalism in general - probably, the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO) is not such a bad place to get a bachelor's degree. It sounds prestigious, you know the language, you understand politics and international relations superficially (and a journalist doesn’t need more). You can go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, TASS, or RT.
But if you are looking for a fun hangout and great memories of your student years, if you want to enter journalism for the love of literature and creativity, if you don’t want to translate texts about party systems, but want to write/shoot about people, fashion, science, then don’t ruin your youth :) Especially for payers. Studying at MJ MGIMO this year costs half a million. For the money you can get a good education in the field of some digital journalism in the West.
