“A 5 QS Stars University”

Overall
I pursued my bachelor's and master's at Plekhanov Russian University of Economics. My overall impression of the studies is positive. There are a range of different study programmes with the possibility of doing one or several semesters abroad in the partner universities (however for some faculties there is no mandatory exchange semester, so if you want to go abroad you needed to apply for such semester and take part in the competition to study in another country).
The campus of the university is pretty big and located in a convenient area almost in the centre of the city.
You can use the help of the careers office to find a mandatory internship (but I preferred to search for internships myself).

Get the information on time, you always were running after the facts, although the Russians already knew it, the internationals did not. That was the hardest part of the study program.

Course recommendations
It sometimes happens that teacher do not show up or rooms change without letting anyone know. In courses students do not pay much attention, so it is very noisy during the lectures.
