Student internships
A.I. Herzen State Pedagogical University in St. Petersburg
Memorial University's agreement with the A.I. Herzen State Pedagogical University in St. Petersburg was signed in August 1991, augmented in 1993 and ratified again in May 2000.
This agreement enables our students to study at A.I. Herzen
University for a period of one term to two years in order to take
courses there to fulfill the requirement for the Russian Major at
Memorial.
The A.I. Herzen State Pedagogical University in St. Petersburg is
one of the largest and most prestigious universities in Russia. It
maintains connections with universities throughout the world and
students from well-respected universities in Europe and North
America take study terms there.
Students who have completed at least two years of study of the
Russian language at Memorial are eligible to apply.
Our students are guaranteed accommodation at the university
residence (which is located on the University campus just minutes
from Nevsky Prospekt, the main street in St. Petersburg, the
Hermitage, Russian Museum and major theatres and concert halls.)
Alternatively, your academic advisors will help you to find an
apartment which suits your budget.
Over the past decade several students have taken advantage of this
unique opportunity to study in Russia, while completing the
requirements for their Russian specialization at Memorial.
For more details regarding the costs and feasibility, make an
appointment to speak with the Coordinator of the Russian
Programmes.
Moscow: Russian State Fellowship Programme
The government of the Russian Federation offers five full

The scholarship covers everything with the exception of travel to
and from Russia.
In Russia, this programme is administered by the Ministry of
Education of the Russian Federation. The competition in Canada is

(ICCS).

This fellowship is available to Memorial's students; so far three
of our students have been awarded this scholarship and in fall 2002
two travelled to study in Moscow.
