The Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation announces the launch of the StudRussia All-Russian Competition for International Students. The Competition is designed to support talented international students who have significant achievements in science, creative work, sport, public activities, and volunteering. The official organiser of the Competition is the National University of Science and Technology MISIS with the support of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education.

The Competition aims to create conditions for the professional and creative self-realisation of international students and helps them develop leadership skills and showcase their achievements in various activities. The Competition is held in two languages — Russian and English — so that every student could present their achievements in the language they feel most comfortable with.

Students can compete in six categories.

StudRussia welcomes international students from Russian universities aged 18–30, who are studying Bachelor’s programmes (at least in their second year), as well as Specialist’s, Master’s, Postgraduate, and Clinical Residency programmes.

The call for applications is open until 14 September 2025 on the official StudRussia website. To participate, you must fill out the form, attach your portfolio, and add a motivation letter.

Detailed information about the competition is available on the website.
