Together with the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation - one of the leading economic universities in the country - we will give several useful tips for those who are going to enter the master's program this academic year.

Participate in olympiads

The main goal of student Olympiads is to identify capable and talented students. Typically, success in a student olympiad gives extra points for admission to a master's program, and victory guarantees or almost guarantees admission.

In some universities, success at the Olympiad can also give a simple competitive advantage with equal scores with other participants - fortunately for students, such universities are in the minority.

Olympiads are used not only by universities, but also by employers. A nice bonus to good result at the Olympiad, an invitation to an internship in a prestigious company may become.

Two Olympiads are held at the Financial University for those entering the master's program: “Magic of the Master's Degree. Connect science and practice! and Fincontest. The first guarantees the winners and prize-winners benefits and discounts for admission to the magistracy, and also includes several areas of training: economics and management, law, political science, sociology and information technology.

Fincontest is more specialized and is conducted for future financial market experts. Its winners, in addition to benefits for admission, also get the opportunity to train on the Moscow Exchange.

Build a portfolio of your activities and accomplishments

Additional points upon admission are given not only for success at the Olympiad. Usually, universities also take into account the personal achievements of students - from speeches at student conferences to articles in scientific journals.

Lists of all counted activities can be found on the websites of the universities you have chosen. Build your own portfolio from all the hard-earned intellectual property left over from your studies.

Feel free to include in your portfolio those achievements that are not on the list of your university. In any case, your profile will be studied, and in conditions of increased competition, they will help to leave a good impression - you never know!

Pass international tests

Another thing that will definitely make you a hardworking super student in the eyes of the admissions committee is diplomas with the results of international tests, like the language TOEFL and IELTS or GMAT for managers.

In some Russian universities you can credit English or other subjects through these certificates. But, even if there is no such option, they can add points for admission as a personal achievement. In any case, such certificates will definitely not be superfluous, especially if you keep in mind the possibility of continuing your studies abroad.

Prepare to write a motivation letter

A motivation letter is the final touch to your image before the commission. It is worth paying special attention to it, because writing a good motivation letter is easy, but spoiling the impression with a bad letter is even easier.

Although the motivational letters of students studying, for example, sports management and plasma physics, will differ, it is desirable for everyone to follow the general advice.

Write concisely, in clear and short sentences, without emotion. Study examples of good motivational letters on the Internet (just don’t try to copy the text, even in pieces, they will notice it). By the way, the norms of a motivation letter are almost the same as those of a cover letter for a vacancy, so you can look at ours on this topic.

The worst thing is when students write what they think they want to hear from them. Compose the letter in such a way as to interest the commission in your ideas and aspirations, and not to convince of your own superiority.

Don't over tighten

The advice looks banal, but still do not pull to the last. This deprives all the advantages described above: the opportunity to have time to participate in student activities for the sake of the coveted extra points, pass an international exam, try yourself at the Olympiad.

The Olympiads of the Financial University will start now - at the end of 2018. Registration for the Olympiad “Magic of the Magistracy. Combine science and practice! starts in December. The first step is to send a motivation letter.

Registration for Fincontest has already begun and will last until mid-January. The final stages of the Olympiads will be held in March, and in April - four months before the exams - the results of the competitions will already be known.
