A Master's degree in Russia? Sign me up! Students from all over the globe can now study for free on a Master’s program at one of Russia and the world’s top universities thanks to Open Doors: Russian Scholarship Project that has just been launched in Russia.

Open Doors: Russian Scholarship Project is Russia’s first international competition for prospective Master's students.
