Members of the International Applicants Club in Moscow 🇷🇺 Join the International Applicants Club and visit MGIMO before you even apply? It's possible! ⭐For three months, the MGIMO International Applicants Club ran a Ranking Contest: the members earned ranking points by attending lectures, participating in conferences and interactive sessions, as well as engaging in discussions and hosting educational threads in the chat. More than fifty Club members took part in the contest, and all of them proved to be active, proactive, and motivated. The winners were Artem Kuznetsov (Kazakhstan), Ana Janković (Serbia), and Liya Kulmametova (Kazakhstan). They received an invitation to come to Moscow, visit MGIMO, and take part in one of the university's largest events — the university fully covered the organization and expenses of the trip, making it a well-deserved reward for their activity in the Club. 🇺🇳 The key event of the Club members' visit to Moscow was their participation in the Churkin Moscow International Model UN. For a whole week, the students took part in committee sessions of ICAO and UNESCO, as well as lectures and cultural events of the Model, trying their hand as real diplomats and getting a closer look at life at MGIMO! "The days at the Model UN are dynamic and very exciting. I learned a lot about diplomacy, the work of the UN, and teamwork, and I also met people from different countries," says Ana Janković. 🤝 The visit program included not only immersion in academic life but also meeting with university leadership. The students met with Stanislav Surovtsev, Vice-Rector for Youth Policy, Social Work, and International Affairs. During the conversation, Artem, Liya, and Ana shared their impressions of the Club and their visit to Moscow, and discussed with the Vice-Rector the opportunities available to international students at our alma mater. "MGIMO amazed me with its open and friendly community, and of course, with its scale!" shares Artem Kuznetsov. 🇷🇺The cultural aspect of the trip was just as rich! During their visit to Moscow, the students spent a lot of time walking around the city, visited iconic Moscow landmarks, and also went to the "Russia" National Centre, where they learned a lot about different corners of our country and its rich history. "Visiting Moscow was my long-held dream, and thanks to the International Applicants Club, my dream came true… I fell in love with MGIMO," admits Liya Kulmametova. We are truly delighted that the International Applicants Club became a "window" into student life at MGIMO for these students, giving them the opportunity to come to Moscow, take part in one of the university's largest events, and gain a new portion of inspiration for their studies and admission. We are sure they had many unforgettable experiences! ❤️ 👆 Just a reminder that all future MGIMO students have the opportunity to join our community for international applicants and feel like part of the MGIMO family even before they enroll! #InternationalApplicantsClub 🌐 MGIMO International (ENG) / МГИМО для иностранцев (RUS)
