Please note that our Bachelor and most PhD programs are taught in Russian. So in order to take courses at the Bachelor’s level, you need to take a preparatory course in Russian and then continue your studying in Russian. More information about the preparatory course and how to apply is here.

However, this year NUST MISIS launched English-taught postgraduate programmes in two areas: “Physics and Astronomy” and “Materials Technology”.

NUST MISIS offers stipends for international students entering English-medium MSc (S.T.E.M.) Programs who are getting admitted via the prestigious Russian Governmental Scholarship program (https://russia.study/en) and those students who cover their tuition out of their own funds.
