On July 23, the first wave of entrance examinations starts at MARCH, and today there is a serious stir in the admissions office of the school. Students will be enrolled based on the submitted portfolios and personal interviews. In total, there are three introductory streams - from 23rd to 24th July, from 20th to 21st August and from 17th to 18th September.
Undoubtedly, the good news was the information that this year each of the applicants will be able to apply for a grant covering all tuition costs in the 2013–2015 academic year, including annual fees to London Metropolitan University. Three grants are envisaged, the total amount of which is more than one and a half million rubles. The three lucky ones will be selected by a jury of teachers, student representatives and school trustees chaired by the chief architect of Moscow, Sergei Kuznetsov. People with obvious architectural abilities, breadth of architectural horizons and general cultural education will be able to claim victory in the competitive selection. All these qualities should be clearly reflected in a meaningful and original portfolio, and also demonstrated during interviews with school teachers. Grants are awarded after all admissions tests have been completed.
Nikita Tokarev
Director of MARSH “We are grateful to our sponsors who provided scholarships, in particular to the WOWHOUSE architectural bureau. Moskomarkhitektura headed by Sergei Kuznetsov actively supported our initiative. The new architectural education is important not only for the students themselves, it determines the state of architecture in Moscow and in Russia. Without new educational programs integrated into world education, our architecture will not be able to develop.
We wish good luck to everyone who is going to enter MARSH this year, and we are sure that there will be many talented applicants. We are waiting for applications and really hope that we can help gifted students become real architects."
The names of the grant holders will be announced on 23 September. To receive a grant, you must fill out an application form on the school's website, then prepare and send a portfolio to the admissions office's email address [email protected] no later than 4 working days before the start of interviews in the selected stream. The full text of the Grant Regulations can be found on the school website.
