About Russian Government Scholarship

The Open Doors International Olympiad has started for the fifth time. Winners of the Olympiad will be allowed to enroll for free in master’s or postgraduate studies at their selected university, depending on their chosen path. During the Olympiad, doctoral track participants will be able to select a potential research supervisor and sit for an interview with them.

Foreigners from ANY nation, as well as compatriots permanently residing abroad and stateless people, are welcome to compete in the Olympiad. Participants in the master’s track must either have a bachelor’s or specialist’s degree or be in the process of finishing an appropriate level of study in 2022. Participants in the doctorate program must have a specialist’s or master’s degree.

You will have to pass a short test in each of your selected subject areas in order to participate. The test is a preliminary evaluation of your knowledge level and it will get you acquainted with the Olympiad’s interface. You will get five chances to pass this test after that you won’t be able to start filling in your portfolio and participate in the Olympiad.

Both master’s and doctoral tracks include 2 rounds that are held online. The first round is a portfolio competition. Those who have been successfully selected after the evaluation of the portfolios are invited to take part in the second round – the Olympiad itself, which is a series of proctored online tests.

In addition to those two rounds, the doctoral track includes one additional round which consists of online interviews with up to three potential research advisors at the participant’s choice. If any of the interviews are successful, the participant chooses a research advisor from among those who gave them a pass.
