The Herzen University Institute of Music, Theatre, and Choreography is justifiably one of the leaders in Russian arts education. It is only natural, then, that we are much sought after by international students.
The Institute reaches back many years. Thanks to our long-standing expertise and reputation in the field, students can benefit from a wide range of academic programmes at the highest level.
Today the Institute is successfully engaged in the development of education in different areas of instrumental and vocal performance. Our programmes in choreography – from classical ballet to modern dance – enjoy a high and well-deserved reputation, and the actors’ workshops are headed by professors who combine their teaching at the University with creative careers in cinema and in the leading theatres of St Petersburg.
