Students Feedback

The atmosphere

Working with different people from around the world was also great as it helps create international bonds and relationships. Everyone was really nice as well and helped me feel very welcome. Working in such a historic faculty was also a great experience, and just being in such an environment was an experience in itself.

The people I believe were one of the best parts of the whole experience. The overall environment I worked in was great, I did not feel pressured and I always had support for when I did not understand something. If I made a mistake there was always help.

How labs work

It was most exiting to learn about functioning of a new specialized laboratory and all the new methods used there. It was surprising, in a good way, how fast can students be included into real research.

Why MSU?

I really like the working environment, the atmosphere. Education at Moscow State University is deeper, more structured and professional than in many other countries of the world. I really liked the working environment, the atmosphere and the very building of the faculty and its audience. I extremely enjoyed that the departments of the faculty have their own laboratories.

Working with your mentor

The internship definitely exceeded my expectations, especially with how much support I received during and after. The training and mentorship was to the highest quality, even better than what I am normally used to. As my final year dissertation was based on what I did on the internship, the help and feedback I received from the mentors was outstanding. They were the main reason for me achieving the best grade. Even months after I finished the internship, my mentor helped me with my applications to further degrees, which made a significant impact.
