The Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education "MIREA - Russian Technological University" (RTU MIREA) announces that the 1st round of the International Olympiad in Foreign Languages among students of non-linguistic specialties will be held remotely on April, 3, 2024 from 10.00 to 11.00 a.m. (Moscow time). Participants with the highest score advance to the 2nd round, which will be held on  April, 12, 2024 in a hybrid format at RTU MIREA or on the Webinar platform.

    The International Olympiad in Foreign Languages among students of non-linguistic specialties invites (qualifying rounds held at local universities) winners and prize winners or participants recommended by the degree-granting Departments of the corresponding professional training directions. Participants should be full-time students and under the age of 25 at the time of the Olympiad.

   The Olympiad invites higher education students of non-linguistic specialties - no more than 5 participants in total and no more than 3 participants representing one language from each educational organization. It is desirable to present participants in English, German and French.

  The Olympiad involves two rounds. The assignments offered correspond to the advanced level of foreign language proficiency on the European scale (C1). The first round is carried out in the written format (remotely) in English, German and French respectively and is a combination of reading, listening, lexical and grammatical test.  The second round is held among the winners and prize winners based on the results of the previous round. It tests the participants’ speaking skills in a hybrid format (in person/remotely). Representatives of Moscow universities participate in the 2nd round in person, while representatives from other cities and countries may participate remotely.

The participants are assumed to have only one attempt to complete the tasks in round 1 of the Olympiad. Hence, all participants of the Olympiad must ensure that proper technical equipment is installed at their location (a laptop, a tablet, or computer, as well as a consistent Internet connection). 

The supervisor will have registered the Olympiad participants in the special form by March, 22, 2024 at the following link:
