Doctoral (PhD) Programs in English

According to the Russian educational system, a postgraduate program (called aspirantura in Russian) is considered to be the 3d stage of higher education in Russia.
After completing a PhD program, postgraduates defend their thesis (research work) and are awarded an academic title "Candidate of Science". This title is equivalent to Ph.D. in the USA and the EU higher education systems.
The duration of a doctoral program in Russia is 3 or 4 years of full-time studies.

Admission process for fee-paying students
Russian Federation government scholarship (Rossotrudnichestvo)
Open Doors Olympiad

The Olympiad is organized by The Association of Global Universities, in collaboration with the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation and the Federal Agency for the Commonwealth of Independent States Affairs, Compatriots Living Abroad, and International Humanitarian Cooperation (Rossotrudichestvo).

The winners of the Open Doors are granted a free early admission at any Russian university, without entrance examinations and with tuition fees covered by the Russian Federation. The language of instruction is English or Russian depending on the chosen program and the university.

The Olympiad is held in three rounds for the doctoral track (analogous to Ph.D.). The first round is a competition of portfolios, and the second round is a problem-solving challenge. The third round of the Olympiad involves the selection of a prospective research supervisor for the chosen doctoral program (analogous to Ph.D.) and an interview with him/her.

For 2020-2021 only the following programs are available for PhD studies:

1. Biology & Biotechnology

2. Chemistry & Materials Science

3. Clinical Medicine & Public Health

4. Linguistics & Modern Languages

5. Mathematics & Artificial intelligence

6. Physical Sciences
