Can I apply to the MGIMO Master's program?
Any citizen of Russia and a foreign state with a bachelor's, specialist's or master's degree can enroll in the MGIMO master's program.
Is it necessary to enroll in the MGIMO master's program in the same area of study (specialty) for which you received a diploma of previous education?
You can apply to any master's program in any area of higher education preparation. This is one of the advantages of a master's degree. However, it is important to remember that you, like any applicant for a master's degree, will have to pass an entrance test in a specialty, the level of requirements of which corresponds to the final exam of a bachelor in the relevant field of study.
Can I qualify for a budget seat?
In accordance with part 3 of article 5 of the Federal Law of December 29, 2012 No. 273-FZ "On Education in the Russian Federation" (hereinafter - the Federal Law), you can apply for places funded from the federal budget (on a competitive basis) if you are a graduate of a bachelor's degree or a certified specialist (that is, you were trained in a specialist program before the introduction of the Federal State Educational Standards - FSES). For persons who have a master's degree and / or a specialist, master's degree studies are possible only on a contractual basis, since, according to part 8 of article 69 of the Federal Law, it will constitute a second higher education.
How does a “specialist” diploma differ from a “graduate”?
Distinctive features are the code of the specialty and the qualification of the graduate. In the diploma "graduate" in the column "qualifications (degree)" there is an entry of the form "economist", "economist-manager", "lawyer", "political scientist", "public relations specialist", etc., and the code the specialty corresponds to the State Educational Standard of Higher Professional Education.
In the diploma of a “specialist” in the column “qualification (degree)”, as a rule, there is an entry of the form “the qualification (degree) of a specialist in the direction of training (specialty) has been assigned” and the code of the specialty according to the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Professional Education. In addition, the year of the beginning and the end of the training is important. Persons enrolled in specialist programs after January 1, 2011, upon completion of their studies, receive only a “specialist” diploma.

Yes. The 2019 admission campaign accepts the results of not only this, but also 2018.
Can I take my entrance tests remotely?
Only if you need to participate only in the portfolio competition (for example: there are benefits of 100 points in all other tests; the second test is in a foreign language and it is confirmed by a certificate; the entrance examinations include only the portfolio competition and nothing else)
What if I cannot pass the entrance tests on the appointed day? Is there a spare day?
There is a reserve day. But keep in mind that you can take on a reserve day only if the reason for missing the exam is valid. A good reason is, for example, a documented illness or a business trip at work. But, for example, passing an exam at another university (or even at another HSE campus) cannot be considered a good reason.
Unless otherwise stated in the portfolio criteria, it only means that you will not receive points for that specific criterion.
Step 1 - Choosing a program and form of study
1. Make sure that your level of education allows you to study for a master's degree, that is, you have a bachelor's, specialist's or master's degree.
If you have a diploma issued by a foreign state, you must go through the nostrification procedure.
2. Check out the list of master's programs.
Please note that Master's programs are offered in three areas: Finance and Credit, Economics and Management, as well as in two forms of study - full-time (2 years of study) and part-time (2.5 years of study). For full-time education, there are programs in which training is conducted entirely in English.
3. Determine on what conditions you want to get an education:
for full-time education, all programs have budgetary and non-budgetary places; in English-language programs, students at budgetary places pay for an additional educational service - training in English. For full-time studies, bachelor applicants are given a deferral from military service, subject to admission in the year of graduation from the bachelor's degree.
there are no budget-funded places for part-time education and no deferral from military service is provided.
4. If the form of study you have chosen involves payment, make sure that you know the cost of training and the procedure for payment.
5. Make sure that documents are being accepted for training in the form you have chosen.
Step 2 - Preparing for admission
6. Depending on the chosen form of study and the proposed master's program, determine what kind of introductory testing you will have. Tests differ in areas (Finance and Credit, Economics and Management) and in the forms of study:
Full-time education
for budget places - a complex test of 4 disciplines;
for extrabudgetary places - a test in economic theory or management theory.
In the part-time form of study - a test in economic theory or management theory.
7. There are preparatory courses for graduates of non-core specialties at the Faculty of Finance. Completing the courses will help students pass the entrance exams for the master's degree, increasing their chances of taking one of the extra-budgetary places (with tuition fees), which are admitted through a competition.
Step 3 - Submission of documents and testing
8. Check out the list of documents and deadlines for admission to the magistracy.
9. During the work of the selection committee of the faculty submit documents.
When submitting documents, please indicate exactly which master's program you are applying for. Make sure you know the required dates:
date and time of testing (as well as which test you have to take),
the date by which it is necessary (if necessary) to submit the original document of higher education and the procedure for enrollment;
the date by which it is necessary, if necessary, to conclude an agreement on tuition fees and the date by which the tuition fees must be paid.
Step 4 - Enrollment for training
10. Find out on the website the test result and your status - whether you can apply for training in that form.
11. If you do not find yourself in the lists with test results - immediately contact the selection committee in order to avoid technical errors when calculating points and determining ratings.
12. Remember that subject to the achievement of the minimum required number of points (25 and above), you can apply for admission on an extrabudgetary basis. You may need to submit an additional application for this - check with the selection committee.
13. Upon admission, it is necessary to bring the original document on higher education to the selection committee on time.
14. If you entered an off-budget place or place with payment of the cost of additional educational services (training in English) - specify in the selection committee how and until what date you need to pay for tuition, according to the enrollment procedure.
