Institute of Oriental Studies

The goal of the Oriental Institute is to train highly qualified specialists in East Asian countries: China, Mongolia, the states of the Korean Peninsula, Japan. During their studies, a student of the Institute must master the skills of spoken and written Oriental language, scientific and business translation, and master regional studies (history, economics, socio-political system, spiritual culture of the country being studied). An important component of the educational process at the Institute is a language internship in the country of the studied language. Graduates of the Institute successfully work in such areas as international business and administration, diplomacy and international relations, national security (Customs Service, Border Troops, Ministry of Internal Affairs, FSB and others), science, education, tourism services and others.
