About us

History

The UNIC Institute (formerly the Institute of the History of Cultures) was established in 1990 by Nelly Popova and well-known Russian philologist and culture expert, Sergei Averintsev. By establishing the Institute, the founders aimed to offer students a complete liberal arts education focused on personal development. While new technology is changing the way students learn and the way lessons are structured, the Institute’s ethos – individually tailored learning strategies for each student – remains unchanged.

The Institute currently offers the following areas of study:

  • Cultural Studies
  • Journalism
  • Psychology
  • Design
  • Linguistics

The Institute has over 2000 Russian and international students from 165 cities in Russia and around the world.

Distance education

The Institute has spent the past 9 years actively developing its online learning systems. Thanks to this program, students all over the world (including Russian students not based in Moscow) have had the opportunity to receive a high-quality education in Russian. We use only the latest technologies and services in our online courses (WebEx, Moodle), enabling students and teachers to collaborate closely online. Students work in small groups in order to maximize effectiveness.

Faculties

Cultural Studies

The Faculty of Cultural Studies produces specialists in the field of cultural studies, curators and art critics. Graduates of the Faculty of Cultural Studies work in major museums around the country (e.g. Tretyakov Gallery, State Historical Museum). They also take part in leading cultural projects in radio, television and the print media.

Students are able to specialise in one of two areas:

  • “Critique and curatorship in contemporary art”
    This is the only program of its kind in Russia. Students learn to analyse works of art in a cultural context, write critiques, and manage projects and exhibitions.
  • “Publishing”
    Students learn the art of the book, the basics of creating and editing text, and the basics of publishing.

Course features

The unique study program offered by the Faculty is based on immersion in the era being studied. That is, all the subjects studied (philosophy, history, literature, mythology, foreign languages) correspond to a certain era, which enables the student to create a three-dimensional picture of their understanding of history.
