Moscow, the capital of Russia, is one of Europe's largest cities, with Red Square, the Kremlin, St Basil's Cathedral, the Bolshoi Theatre and its world-famous metro. With long-established universities such as RUDN, Sechenov and the Moscow Aviation Institute, it is the top choice for learning Russian and studying in Russia.

Preparatory faculties and Russian courses at institutions in Moscow such as RUDN, Sechenov University, the Moscow Aviation Institute and the Razumovsky Moscow State University of Technologies and Management are among the options.
