History of MGIMO
In 1944, the international faculty of Moscow State University separated to become independent. Thus began the story of the largest university of international relations in Russia.
Already 2 years after its foundation, the institute began to accept students from other countries for training. Initially, applicants could choose the international, economic, legal faculties or the oriental branch since 1954 after merging with the Moscow Institute of Oriental studies .
Gradually, MGIMO expanded the number of faculties and areas of training. To the economic faculty, the departments of foreign trade and external economic activity were added, the faculties of international relations, journalism, international business, business administration, and political science were opened.
In 1994, at the initiative of the Government of the Russian Federation, the university began training specialists in the field of state and municipal administration. The same year, MGIMO was given the status of a state university [2] .
Since 2000, MGIMO has begun training for the development of international energy cooperation. The leading oil, gas and energy companies of the country came up with such an initiative.
In 2013, the university received international accreditation of all training programs at 3 levels of education, becoming the first university in Russia to implement such a project [3] .
