What are the main intakes in Russia for me as an Indian student, and when do applications open?
Russia typically has two intakes. Fall in September is the primary one, with applications generally opening around June (for example 20 June at HSE; some universities open earlier) and summer deadlines depending on the university. Spring in February or March is secondary, with applications opening October to November.
Russia typically has two main intakes, fall and spring, and fall is the primary one. Fall applications generally open around June (for example 20 June at HSE for fee-paying places; some universities open earlier), while spring applications open in October to November. Deadlines depend on the university and programme.
Intakes and windows
| Intake | Role | Applications open | Deadlines |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fall (September) | Primary intake, especially for most undergraduate and graduate programmes | Around June (some universities earlier) | Summer (for example early August at HSE), depending on university and programme |
| Spring (February or March) | Secondary intake, offered by some universities for certain graduate programmes or specialised courses | October to November of the preceding year | Around December to January |
How to use this
- Fall gives you the widest range of programmes.
- Spring is only available at some universities, so confirm before planning around it.
My Advice
Aim for the fall intake and start your applications early in the opening window. Since deadlines vary by university and programme, note each one individually rather than assuming a single date.
