How to apply
We invite applications from students of intermediate level (3rd and 4th year Bachelor's courses), graduate students (Master's programs), and Ph.D. students (aspirantura in Russia).
The Schools are diverse and cater to various backgrounds — all humanities, including socio-economic sciences and liberal arts, are welcome. Also students from various sciences (e.g. biology, environmental studies, computer studies) may find the Schools of interest.
There are no prerequisites, and the only requirement is an intermediate-to-upper level English, enabling students not only to listen, but to speak up, contribute, and collaborate.
