I have acquired two key competencies throughout my years of studying the higher education can provide – the skill of effective work with information and the skill of negotiating with people (building relationships). This gave me a chance to try myself in two big companies (Unilever, McKinsey&Co), and I quickly came up with my further career.

Students get to know the faculty during the first semester and learn the principles of Economics, Math analysis and Linear algebra. If you want extra challenging tasks with more advanced Economics and Math, try passing tests to the First group. There are 25 people who won Olympiads and who coped well with distribution tests in this project with increased academic load. Starting from the 2nd semester future economists choose disciplines to study on their own. Therefore, all level students feel equally comfortable.

The Faculty of Economics is all about opportunities. "If you're going to while away the years, it's far better to live them with clear goals and fully alive then in a fog". This quote is my associations with my faculty. I can't come up with other words to describe life here. It gives you an opportunity to learn and study, test yourself in new disciplines and dive into favorite subjects, find your limits and deserve great vacations.
Nadezhda Nikolaewa
Third year student
I went on an internship at the beginning of the third year. Everything was reealed to me during this great experience — friends from different countries, new culture and new perspective on my studies. Studying in English was not as difficult as I expected. After a couple of weeks I felt that it was almost my native language. By the end of my trip I mastered German to the same level. It seemed that studying there was easier than in MSU. I liked the atmosphere of a small campus most of all.
Ulyana Smirnova
Third year student
Our choice of courses in data analysis and macroeconomics goes far beyond standard bachelor program. In reality it turned out to be very demanded during my internships at Yandex, VTB24 and the Gaidar Institute. Now I work in the monetary policy department in the Bank of Russia and I'm completing Masters degree in the Faculty of Economics in MSU.
Gleb Kurovskiy
First Group Graduate, '17)
The most important aspect of studying at the faculty is freedom of choice. In fact, we can determine which subjects are interesting for us and whether we want to learn them or not. Many people believe that studying at MSU is too difficult. But trust me, if you can enroll the Faculty of Economics, you are already capable enough to cope with it. Everything else depends on your attitude to studies.
Tatul Airapetyan
Second year student
The MSU Faculty of Economics is the top one among the most sought-after faculties of the largest universities in Russia, according to Future Today rating. The "Employment Assistance Service" helps our students with competent searching for internships, composing CVs and getting ready for interviews. They also organize "Career days" where companies meet with students and recruit them for internships.
Our students don't have to exit the building to do sports. There is a free fitness-center in the house which was designed in association with Nike. You can attend tennis, volleyball or basketball courts, football fields, running and baseball stadium on the MSU's territory. There is a swimming pool in the Main Building.
Advantages of studying here

If you enroll in the Faculty of economics although you heart calls for space launching – you can always give it a try.
