Yours,
Happy New Year 2021, dear RUDN staff and students!
We are famous for being a university without borders, a university of friendship, a university open to the whole world!
This year we have been looking at each other through computer monitors, replacing handshakes with emails and learning to see smiles behind protective masks.
The year was unpredictable and difficult.
But it is not for nothing that the anthem of the university says “I love RUDN — this is a difficult word to pronounce (in Russian ‘difficult’ is tRUDNoye)”, because we are not afraid of difficulties and solve them together.
We had to change our habits, but we have kept traditions and remained true to the principles of equality and professionalism. We have rediscovered the world and expanded the boundaries of geography. We have celebrated RUDN anniversary and entered the new decade. We remained kindhearted.
New Year is going to bring us new ideas and projects, new meetings, new knowledge and opportunities!
Take care of yourself, help your loved ones, enjoy little things in life and use every opportunity to be happy and successful. Open the world without borders with international, research, talented, creative and sportive — such a versatile RUDN University!
The International Youth Festival (IYF-2026) was held in Yekaterinburg. For all seven days, RUDN University's stand operated there — a compact model of university life featuring a dorm room, a coworking space, a "kitchen," and multimedia installations. Guests from various countries didn't just learn about Russia's most international university — they tasted a slice of student life firsthand.
What are students from African countries coming to study at RUDN University like? Why did they choose a Russian education, and what do they want to learn? How do they adapt to life in a new, unfamiliar country? What do the Russian language and culture mean to them? For the third Russia-Africa Summit, RUDN University has compiled a portrait of a typical African student and shared their experiences during their studies.
A themed train dedicated to the 65th anniversary of RUDN University has been launched in the Moscow Metro! For six months, the train will run along the Sokolnicheskaya Line.
