We invite international students to take part in the “Moscow Student of the Year” competition.

“Moscow Student of the Year” is a competition for the capital’s best students, offering you a chance to shine. The winner will be someone who not only excels in their nomination category but has also made student life, the city, or even the whole country a better place. Every year, the competition brings together over 400 talented participants.

At the competition, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with Moscow’s departments and committees, public organizations, and experts in your field of interest. You’ll also meet talented like-minded peers, showcase your best qualities and professional skills.

As part of the competition program, from October 4 to 14, in the “Youth of Moscow” multi-format venue, in-person competitive events will be held across 9 individual and 6 team categories.

International students aged 18 to 27 are invited to participate in the “International Student of the Year” nomination.

The competition will evaluate achievements in various areas, including research activities, cultural and sports events, and social engagement. Potential winners are students who have been active in university life, city-level initiatives, or even on regional or federal platforms — those who have significantly contributed to improving the experience of international students and youth life in general.

Winners will become part of the Moscow delegation to take part in the Russian National “Student of the Year” Award, to be held in December 2025.

Application deadline: September 26, 2025.
