Throughout its 150-year history Moscow Pedagogical State University (MPGU) has always been aware of its role and responsibility as the leading pedagogical University in Russia and the USSR, which relies on the best national and global higher education traditions.
Openness, cooperation and co-creation with Russian universities and foreign partners in solving scientific problems, specialist training for general and continuing systems of pedagogical education have always been its most important principles in all spheres.
Due to the shifting paradigm of the political, industrial, cultural, educational systems not only in Russia, but world-wide, in the course of the last 25 years the University has gone through a difficult way of searching for a new model of training specialists.
