Almost every high school graduate strives to enter a university. And, of course, the more prestigious the university, the more prestigious the diploma will be, and, possibly, the job. It is not difficult to guess that Moscow universities are the most popular among yesterday's schoolchildren, studying in which allows not only to get a good education of the European standard, but also get a prestigious job in the capital of Russia.

It has always been prestigious to have a diploma of higher education. Moreover, in the days of the Soviet Union, this was a guarantee that after graduation a specialist would be able to get a good "dust-free" job. And to have two or three higher educations meant to earn great respect from relatives and friends.

To date, a diploma of higher education does not guarantee successful employment, but, nevertheless, almost every graduate of a secondary school seeks to enter a university. And, of course, the more prestigious the university, the more prestigious the diploma will be, and, possibly, the job. It is not difficult to guess that the most popular among yesterday's schoolchildren are those who study in which allows not only to get a good education of the European standard, but also get a prestigious job in the capital of Russia.

TOP 10 most prestigious universities in Moscow

Every year, state universities, institutes and academies in Moscow (of which there are more than a hundred) accept applicants from Russia and other countries. For those who wish to choose a truly prestigious university, sociologists regularly rank the most popular state universities in Moscow. TOP 10 best universities in 2013-2014 are as follows:

1. - This educational institution is sometimes called practically inaccessible. As a rule, only children of big businessmen and famous politicians enter it. To enter MGIMO, you need to have not only perfect USE results, but also pass an internal exam at the university itself. I am glad that there are also budget places. Some of them can be occupied by the winners of the Olympiads.
2. - this university is considered the best higher educational institution in Moscow in terms of technical specialization.
3. - one of the best universities in Russia, specializing in international economic relations and finance, international law and foreign trade management.
4. - is considered the leading university in Russia, specializing in training specialists for the judiciary.
5. - one of the largest universities in Russia, whose specializations cover the humanities, socio-economic sciences, as well as computer science and mathematics.
6. - is one of the "big three" Moscow universities, and is one of the best higher educational institutions in Eastern Europe, specializing in jurisprudence.
7. - is the most prestigious medical university in Moscow. Strange as it may seem, but this is the only medical school that even made it to the list of the best universities in Moscow.
8. - Getting this university into the prestigious ranking is surprising for many. It can be assumed that this university was in the ranking due to the fact that in 2012 only 42 students were enrolled in its budgetary department. This institution, as well as the medical university, is the only representative of its specialization in the ranking of prestigious universities in Moscow (the Russian Language Institute specializes in training teachers of Russian as a foreign language).
9. - The university, which over the past years has been considered one of the most elite. However, this year he has slightly lost his position in the rankings. And this despite the fact that it has become a little more difficult to enter it. It is noteworthy that almost half of the state-funded places at this university are occupied by winners of Olympiads.
10. - closes the TOP-10 of the most prestigious universities in Moscow. You can enter it without any ideal marks on the Unified State Examination (a passing score of approximately 85.2). At the same time, the competition for the budget is relatively small - in 2012, the Faculty of Public Administration had a competition of thirty people for one place, world politics - twenty-eight, and the Faculty of Geography turned out to be the most unclaimed - only two people for one place.

Going to college is the goal of most 11th grade graduates who are striving to master a profession in demand that will bring financial stability in the future. Studying in such an institution provides students with valuable knowledge and experience that will be useful to them in their future work.

Choice of institute and faculty

If you decide which university to enter, then in order to make the right choice, you need to analyze a number of criteria that will lead to the desired specialty:

Graduates who do not know should consult with their parents. They are more experienced people and can give you good advice. Pay special attention to the professions of your parents. Why don't you follow in their footsteps? Ask them about their specialty, find out where they studied, and maybe you will have a desire to master this particular direction.

Difficulties in entering the institute

Is it difficult to get into college today? At the very least, it's not easy. Every year more and more people want to get higher education. And there is nothing surprising in this: almost all employers require a university diploma from candidates. It is especially difficult to enroll in a state-funded place - in this case, the competition simply rolls over in almost any specialty.

To stand out from the general mass of applicants, you must impress the selection committee with your high scores on the exam. And for this you need to prepare long and hard. For successful results, it is most likely:

• enroll in preparatory courses in compulsory and specialized subjects;
• hire a tutor;
• independently on a daily basis to solve tasks on the exam on the Internet.

By combining these three methods of preparation, you will increase your chances of enrolling in the desired university. Entering a university is a very responsible and time-consuming process that requires the mobilization of all your mental strength and energy.

Benefits for former military personnel

Entering an institute after the army involves a number of benefits that allow former military personnel to get a place in a university under a special scheme. This category of applicants must also pass the exam and submit the results to the selection committee. But the benefits for applicants after the army are as follows:

1. It is supposed to be possible to attend preparatory courses at the university free of charge.
2. In the case when two candidates are awarded an equal number of points, preference should be given to an applicant who has served.

Often this quota is used only in military universities, but it has its legal effect in other educational institutions and should include at least 5% of the total number of budget places. The privilege is granted on the basis of the recommendation of the commander of the military unit. Often, some universities ignore such a document, so when applying for a package of papers, we advise you to attach a military ID, a petition from the head of the military unit and a recommendation.

Most Russian applicants dream of entering Moscow for a state-funded place. There are enough reasons for this. There are a huge number of universities in the capital, where you can master many popular specialties. The level of education in Moscow higher educational institutions has always been and remains high. After graduating from the capital's university, it is easier to get a job in Moscow and other regions of Russia.

But, unfortunately, the number of budget places is decreasing every year. Paid education began to prevail. However, there are budget places in almost all universities. You can still choose. Below is a list of popular universities with budget places.

1. Moscow State University of Information Technologies, Radio Engineering and Electronics. A prestigious university that trains personnel in the field of information technology, telecommunications, automation of computer systems, radio engineering and electronics. The number of budget places is 60-80 for each specialty. This allows applicants to enter with an average score of 60-70.

The university has a solid educational and technical base. Students have the opportunity to gain technical skills in several well-known design offices.

2. Moscow State University is the leader among Russian universities in most rankings. Every year the university holds an Olympiad for schoolchildren. Its laureates have the right to enter Moscow State University out of competition. In total, there are more than 3,000 state-funded places at the university, so there is every chance to enter with a good USE score.

3. - Moscow Agricultural Academy named after K.A. Timiryazev. This educational institution is the only production and industrial center in the country, where 10,000 students can study at the same time.

The University trains specialists in various areas of the agro-industrial complex. Therefore, applicants from all over the country and neighboring countries come here to enroll. In total, the university has about 2 thousand state-funded places.

4. Moscow Aviation Institute (National Research University) is one of the most popular technical universities in the country. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that the training of specialists in the space and defense industry is carried out on real models of equipment. This is the only educational institution in the world that has its own airfield.

In addition to specialized specialties, the university is preparing in the field of information technology. The MAI provides a lot of budget places. And the passing score for some specialties is only 60-70 points.

Therefore, those wishing to enroll in technical specialties can try to apply to MPEI.

6. Moscow State Pedagogical University is an indicator of culture, traditions and creative thought. The university arose at the end of the 19th century. MSGU has had a chance to go through a lot, but despite this, the university continues to be one of the leading universities in the country. More than 1 thousand applicants can get education here on a budgetary basis.

7. Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation. People who graduate from this university often occupy top positions in companies and even in government. Innovative approach to the educational process; attracting professors from the world's leading universities, directors of banks and insurance companies - all this helps students become successful leaders.

You should decide where to go in Moscow on a budget in advance. Preparation for the exam should begin at least a year, and not several months or weeks before the exam. Then any capable student will be able to enter a prestigious university for a budget place.

But they are stopped by the lack of a language certificate. They understand that obtaining this certificate is costly, both in terms of finances and time spent. After all, if a person just speaks some language, this does not guarantee the successful passing of a language test, here you need to delve into the study of vocabulary, grammar, syntax and phraseology. Moreover, you need to prepare for the test purposefully - find out what kind of questions and tasks there are on it and prepare for answers on all points.

Therefore, we have prepared a list of countries where universities can be entered without a language certificate for the budget. This list consists of two parts: the first is countries that do not require anything at all and where you can come as you are, and the second is countries where you can enter without a certificate, but where there is some kind of exam upon arrival.

1. Top rankings are occupied public universities in Austria. Many people know that you can enter Austrian universities without a language after school for a bachelor's degree, but not many people know that they can enroll in a master's and even doctoral studies without knowing the language. Upon arrival, future masters and bachelors are given up to two years, and graduate students are given a year to study the language. The cost of studying is from 700 to 1500 euros per year.
2. Despite the financial crisis, Greece also takes the lead. You can enter Greek universities without knowing the language, studying in them is free and a year is given for learning the language (there are special language courses that cost 500 euros per year).
3. Finland closes the top three among the most loyal countries for students without a language certificate. In Finland, studies are conducted in English and today it is free, but from 2017 it will cost about 1,500 euros per year. But studying in Finnish now and in the future will remain free.

Finland today is an ideal option, because now there is a submission of documents for a master's degree in English to universities where a language certificate is not required and study is free. But you still need to know the language at a good level: around May, testing will take place. But this testing is not for a language certificate, but for a subject - in mathematics, in language, in specialized subjects.

1. AT Italy you can apply to universities to study as in English as well as in Italian. At the same time, all programs in Italian and many programs in English do not require a language certificate, the language is checked on the spot after admission. Moreover, usually if upon arrival a person does not know the language, he is sent to additional courses, with the exception of admission to medicine, architecture, psychology, translation and some other specialties with state entrance exams.

Italy is an ideal option for those who are considering moving to a strong southern country with a high level of education, a good climate and a strong economy. But Italy did not take first place in the ranking due to one nuance: if you can enter other countries on the basis of a bachelor's certificate, then in Italy you can enter a bachelor's degree only on the basis of a college diploma, or on the basis of one or two years of university.

1. In Spain, universities are divided according to this principle: when studying in Spanish, they do not require a certificate, but when studying in English, they require it in 99% of cases. Language testing is carried out after arrival in the format of an interview.

In Spain, for all the ideality of the situation, there is one nuance that also does not allow this country to rise higher in this ranking: when applying for a bachelor's degree on the basis of a complete secondary education, you need to take exams in Spanish. When applying for a master's degree, things are much better: you can do without exams and without a certificate.

1. The Czech Republic is also a great country to study after school. without the need to have a language certificate upon admission, but there is one BUT. When entering the vast majority of specialties on the budget, you need to take entrance exams in Czech. And it doesn’t matter if you are applying for a bachelor’s or master’s degree, you will have to pass either exams or an interview. But in graduate school there are practically no exams. You can also study in English for a fee, the cost is from 1000 to 3000 euros per semester.

1. Cyprus makes it possible to enter programs in English without a certificate language and be tested on the spot, but studying there will cost from 3,500 to 10,000 euros per year, depending on the status of the university. Cyprus is a great option for enrolling in an English program, both immediately after school for a bachelor's degree and a master's degree - almost everyone is accepted.
2. O admission to universities Poland you can say almost the same thing: you can do without a certificate for both a bachelor's degree and a master's degree, studies are mainly in Polish, but there are separate programs in English and Russian. Studying is paid and costs from 600 euros to 1500 euros per semester. But there is such a subtle point here: often people, believing that it will be very easy to learn the Polish language because it is close to Russian and Ukrainian, go to two-three-month language courses and think that this is enough. But this is enough for understanding at the household level, but not for studying at a university and reading textbooks.
3. AT Slovenia can enter on the basis of a certificate(according to estimates) and after enrollment, a preparatory year is given. The preparatory year will cost about 1500 - 2000 euros, and the study itself from 2000 to 8000 euros per year, depending on the faculty, the most expensive medical faculties, on the other hand, this is one of the few opportunities to enter medicine without exams.
4. Latvia and Lithuania completes our list, since studies here are paid, but generally inexpensive 600-2000 euros per semester, and this despite the fact that you can study in Russian and no certificate is needed upon admission based on a Russian certificate. The country would be higher in the ranking if it were not for the almost complete futility of this education in terms of immigration. That is, this option is more suitable for those who just want to have a European diploma, perhaps for work in their homeland or subsequent immigration.

We often get asked about scholarships. It is really possible to get it in monetary terms only in Italy. Very rare, but theoretically possible in Greece, the Czech Republic and France. Most often, students receive grants for education - this is when the university finances studies, meals and accommodation. At the same time, many people forget that free education in Europe, admission without a certificate, inexpensive hostel and food, make it possible for anyone who wants to move with affordable means.
