Important news about IMARES and MARCA in St. Petersburg

[Sergei Erofeev]

Dear SEELANGERS,

We realize that because of the special module in the city of Kazan running earlier this year, European University at Saint Petersburg will be able to finish the IMARES and MARCA admission process only after that.  Despite the competition is already high, we think that we should inform you that the application deadline has been moved to 23 May.  This will give a chance to apply to those who think that they are late.

With best wishes,
Sergey Erofeev (erofeev at eu.spb.ru)

Important update about study in St. Petersburg

Deadline for applications: 23 May 2011 for
http://www.eu.spb.ru/IMARES and 
http://www.eu.spb.ru/MARCA


Apart from continuing to offer its famous one-year MA in Russian and Eurasian Studies to international students (IMARES), the European University at St. Petersburg is starting a new MA program in Russian Culture and the Arts (MARCA) with a special introductory fee.  The teaching is done in English with Russian language training provided at different levels.  The deadline for both MARCA and IMARES is 23 May to enroll from September 2011.  The tuition is $15,000 for IMARES and $10,500 for MARCA.  If the applicant is currently enrolled in another program and would like to join one of the programs for a semester, the fee will be half of the respective figure.  There are various opportunities for getting financial aid (http://www.eu.spb.ru/finaid) including the partial EUSP scholarships for qualified applicants.

The excellent news for American applicants is that the European University at St. Petersburg has just become the first university in Russia which is approved for the US Federal Direct Loans scheme (http://www.eu.spb.ru/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3217&Itemid=524).  This is open for IMARES now and will be open for MARCA in a year. 

Kind regards,
