Russia (Russian: Россия) is by far the largest country in the world, covering more than one-eighth of the Earth's inhabited land area. The former State Committee for Higher Education in Russia financed 240 universities, academies and institutes, making Russia a solid country to study in.

Master of Science degrees are advanced academic programs that are offered by colleges and universities to students who have already earned a bachelor’s degree. Earning an MSc may lead to greater professional and personal opportunities for graduates.
