Russian language courseDuring your winter school in Moscow you will have a unique oppor-tunity to take part in the Intensive Course of the Russian language for beginners, which is is free-of-charge for the IWMS’14 participants.

Aim of the Course is to help foreign physicians and medical students to fulfil their professional duties and to communicate with their col-leagues and patients in Russia. The Course is also interesting because it trains not only to use the Russian language for professional purposes but in your everyday life as well.

Duration of the Course is 26 academic hours. Trainings will be conduc-ted in groups of 5. You will receive the Course syllabus at the Welcome reception on the 17th of February.

Passes for public transportationWell-developed systems of public transportation (metro, buses, trolley-buses and trams) with universal public transport tickets make the Moscow area of more than 1,100 km2 almost insensible and rather convenient in terms of navigation.

You can purchase universal tickets for 1 (30 rub.), 2 (60 rub.), 5 (150 rub.), 10 (300 rub.), 20 (500 rub.), 40 (1000 rub.), 60 (1200 rub.) trips. There is a common opinion that the fastest way to navigate around Moscow is metro. Most stations are open from 6 a.m. till 1 a.m.

Meals & RefreshmentsYou will be provided hot lunches on week days.

Dining halls offer students a variety of reasonably priced and nutritious meals. Students also have a choice of vegetarian and pork-free meals, a salad and antipasti buffet, fresh juices, desserts, sweets, and ice-cream. Cafeterias offer a variety of sandwiches, cakes, sweets, drinks, but only a small variety of warm dishes.

There are also a lot of public food courts, cafes and restaurants near the University campus and around the city.

Telephone & InternetTo stay in touch you can get a Russian sim card for your mobile phone. Students or officers of the University will be happy to help you and choose the most bargaining tariff.

Of course, you can also check with your current cell phone provider if it would be financially feasible to change your current contract accord-ingly.

You can easily use the University free WiFi zones but not every Uni-versity building provides them. In case of need you can use free wire-less internet access offered by lots of cafés around the University, or internet cafés.

Leisure & SportsSituated on the Moscow River and having over 450 km2 of green areas the city is also home to many famous museums, art galleries, theatres, several world heritage sites, including the Moscow Kremlin, an ancient fortress that is the residence of the Russian president today.

University sports facilities are restricted to long-term students of I.M. Sechenov First MSMU. We can recommend you some other options which are open to the public.

Moscow is an excellent city for winter sposts such as skating, skiing, snowboarding, ice-hockey, etc. Equipment can be rented in most parks and multiple winter sports centers. You can also visit numerous fitness centers, gyms, swimming pools and saunas.

Safety & InsuranceWhile we believe that Russia is safe to travel and study in, we are also sure that precautions should be taken when traveling to any foreign country. To assure your safety during the winter school you will get safety instructions at the orientation meeting and will be often ac-companied by students of I.M. Sechenov First MSMU. But remember, your safety mostly depends on your own behavior and discipline.

Please note that you are required to have medical insurance while in Russia and to carry your insurance information at all times.
