For the fourth time, Russia hosts the International Olympiad Open Doors: Russian Scholarship Project, an international competition for foreign applicants, co-organized by NUST MISIS.

A feature of the 2020 Olympiad is the allocation of a postgraduate course track (analog of Ph.D.) and the appearance of three new profiles in the master’s program track: “Clinical medicine and public health”, “Education” (including pedagogical sciences) and “Earth sciences”.
Due to the possible consequences of the pandemic and restrictions on entry to Russia, the universities, which organize the Olympiad will provide the winners with the opportunity to start their studies in the first semester online.
According to the results of the Open Doors Olympiad 2019/2020, 371 people from 66 countries of the world have become winners. Three of them have chosen the NUST MISIS Master’s program for further education.
