Bachelor and specialist admission plan, Moscow, 2026/27 https://www.rea.ru/mnt/sveden/document/priemDocLink/03_bak_plan_Mos.pdf

The Moscow admission plan organizes bachelor admission by fields of study and structural units rather than as one university-wide pool across all profiles.
Used as a limiting source for main-pathway choice: later profile selection works inside the admitted field at a specific school, faculty, or institute.
Education disclosures: implemented educational programmes https://www.rea.ru/Sveden/education

The official disclosure section lists programmes, courses, modes of study, and links to bachelor curricula.
Curriculum links show that the number of profiles inside a field and structural unit varies: some have a single profile, while large fields contain several pathway options.

The internal regulation describes preliminary allocation after enrollment and final allocation to bachelor profiles after the second year.
Main-pathway choice is limited to the admitted field at a specific school, faculty, or institute, quotas, and competition by cumulative rating; the document does not confirm a minor or double-major model.

Higher Education Monitoring 2025: PRUE https://monitoring.miccedu.ru/iam/2025/_vpo/inst.php?id=209

The 2025 higher education monitoring profile reports 21,118 bachelor, specialist, and master students across all study modes.
The bachelor and specialist fields are calculated from the published shares: bachelor students are 79.48% and master students are 13.67%. The profile does not give a separate specialist share, so the specialist value is a derived remainder.
