An unrivaled extracurricular experience.

No academic program can be complete without a balanced and appropriate extracurricular activity set to match. MGIMO makes it a goal to provide the best off-campus set of activities possible, covering all the most famous attractions in Moscow and also heading off the beaten path with exclusive excursions - to further deepen our students' knowledge of Russian history and culture. The set of activities is revised and adapted each year based on a number of factors, to make sure that our students get the most out of their stay. While activities may change due to weather conditions or ticket availability, on average MGIMO Summer Program participants still attend no less than eight activities per session, with no limits imposed on their academic program. Come prepared to learn, explore and make friends. It's that simple
