"Substantial leap forward"

IMARS program has been a great academic experience for me. IMARS has been what I expected — a creative environment with motivated fellow students (both Russian and foreign), high-quality teaching and basic facilities for research (library and computers). I consider my year at IMARS to have been a substantial leap forward.

Developing your analytical skills will prepare you to a career of policy maker and consultant to help political and economic actors meet various challenges. Through ENERPO you will familiarize with key energy projects in Eurasia and address the main problems in the development of the sphere of energy.

The courses combine the perspectives of political science, security studies, political economy, and anthropology. You will also get access to first-hand expertise of the energy sector.

ENERPO is a novelty program which combines in-class training by leading Russian and international experts, master classes by representatives of the energy business community, and company visits.
