Dear students!

Information regarding the number of available state-funded (budget) spots for transferring from tuition-based to tuition-free education has been published via the link below.

During the period from January 26 to February 5, a student wishing to transfer to an available budget spot must submit to their faculty/institute a motivated application addressed to the Rector of MSUPE. Additionally, if available, documents confirming special achievements in academic, research, public, cultural, creative, and sports activities should be submitted. These documents will serve as an additional advantage in case of a competitive situation.

On February 11, 2026, a meeting of the Commission for Transition from Tuition-Based to Tuition-Free Education will be held, where each received application will be considered.

Please note that the transition is carried out on a competitive basis. The rules, cases, and priority of transitioning from tuition-based to tuition-free education are regulated by the "Procedure for Transition of Persons Enrolled in Higher Education Programs from Tuition-Based Education to Education Financed by Federal Budget Funds or Own Funds, Including Funds from Income-Generating Activities, Voluntary Donations, and Targeted Contributions from Individuals and/or Legal Entities at MSUPE", approved by the decision of the MSUPE Academic Council (Protocol No. 16 dated August 21, 2024).

No later than February 21, the decision on transitioning from tuition-based to tuition-free education will be formalized by an order from the Rector of MSUPE. The order will take effect on March 1, 2026.

If you have any questions regarding the timelines or procedure for transitioning students from tuition-based to tuition-free education, please contact the Department of Academic Affairs via email: alistratovaei@mgppu.ru.
