The documentation is admitted in June, July and August. The enrolment to the Preliminary course is organized without entrance examination.

Documents needed to hand in the application:

  • application form (it can be found on the site)
  • photocopy of the passport

The procedure of preparing and submitting the documents.
The foreign citizen who wants to study in MPEI, submits to MPEI the prepared documents using e-mail (study@mpei.ru) or using the fax +7 (495) 362-7605. The city where the Russian Consulate, where the applicant will get the Russian visa, is situated should be necessarily mentioned in the application form, as well as the exact mail address, the phone number, fax, and the e-mail address. The essential details will be made more precise during the correspondence (the e-mail is preferable).

In case of taking a positive decision, MPEI officially informs the applicant about that and makes a request for the visa support  in the Federal Migration Service of Russia. After receiving the official Invitation to study in Russia MEI signs an education contract with the student, the student pays for the first semester of study in MPEI and then MPEI sends the student the Invitation.

After receiving the official  Invitation the student personally applies to the Russian Consulate to get the visa.. After getting the visa and buying the ticket to Russia , the student informs MPEI about the time and date of his arrival to Moscow and the flight number at least 3 workdays before the arrival.
