The four-year degree programme includes studying for the first two years at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO) and the last two years at The University of Reading, resulting in an award from both institutions
The double degree programme is unique, combining both UK and Russian teaching and research perspectives, and providing students with access to both the UK and Russian job markets after graduation.
A recent webinar was held to provide more information on the programme including the academic content & entry requirements. This was presented by Dr Mikhail Troitskiy, the Dean and Associate Professor of the School of Government and International Affairs of MGIMO, Dr Mark Shanahan, the Head of Politics and International Relations Department and Lecturer Dr Vladimir Rauta.
