SBEI HPE "Russian-Armenian (Slavonic) University
The Russian-Armenian (Slavonic) University was established on the basis of the “Agreement between the Government of the Russian Federation and the Government of the Republic of Armenia on the conditions for the establishment and operation of the Russian-Armenian University in the city of Yerevan”, which was signed on August 29, 1997 in Moscow.
On November 28, 1997, the Decree of the Government of the Republic of Armenia No. 543 was adopted on the establishment of the Russian-Armenian University in Yerevan. Then the Joint Order No. 1769/170-M of 01.07.98 was issued.

On April 23, 2003, an Agreement was signed in Moscow between the Government of the Republic of Armenia and the Government of the Russian Federation on amendments and additions to the Agreement between the Government of the Republic of Armenia and the Government of the Russian Federation on the conditions for the establishment and activities of the Russian-Armenian University in the city of Yerevan dated August 29, 1997 .
Article 2 of the “Agreement between the Government of the Russian Federation and the Government of the Republic of Armenia on the conditions for the establishment and operation of the Russian-Armenian University in the city of Yerevan” states:
“The main tasks of the University are:
- meeting the educational needs of the individual, training, retraining and advanced training of specialists with higher education and scientific and pedagogical personnel of humanitarian, natural science, economic and legal profiles;
- assistance in the development of the scientific and human potential of both states by attracting scientific and pedagogical personnel from the Russian Federation and the Republic of Armenia to work at the University;
- application of advanced educational and methodological technologies and the use of achievements and experience gained in the field of education and science in the Russian Federation and in the Republic of Armenia;
- assistance in the preservation, development and mutual enrichment of cultures, languages, historical and national traditions of the peoples of both states”.
The University is an educational institution of higher professional education jointly administered by the Russian Federation and the Republic of Armenia and enjoys the status of state higher educational institutions of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Armenia. .
The University was conceived and should take place as a center of Russian education, science and culture in the Republic of Armenia and in the Transcaucasian region as a whole. The priority task of the RAU is the training of highly qualified specialists - patriots of their Motherland - who are aware of the importance for Armenia of its inextricable ties with Russia and are able to apply their knowledge anywhere in the world.
Today, when three-quarters of ethnic Armenians live abroad, one of the most important tasks of the RAU is the integration of the diaspora. About 25% of RAU's annual enrollment is made up of students from the CIS countries (primarily from Russia, where the largest Armenian diaspora is located, as well as from Georgia, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan) and far abroad. Along with the role of a hotbed of Russian culture in the region, the RAU sees its task in familiarizing the Armenians of the Diaspora with their own culture, counteracting assimilation, ensuring ties with the homeland for the younger generation of emigrants and creating conditions for their return.
The university sets itself the task of preparing specialists of such qualification and level of knowledge that would meet the requirements of the new century. To this end, work is underway to create a scientific school at the university, to include the university in international cooperation, to establish close ties with leading Russian and foreign educational institutions.
Education at RAU is conducted in Russian according to programs drawn up in accordance with Russian educational standards, with the obligatory inclusion of a national component.
The best teaching forces of Armenia are involved in the work at RAU. The university has departments created on the basis of research institutes of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia.
Since 2003, a program has been implemented to invite leading specialists of the Russian Federation, professors from Russian universities to RAU to give lecture courses.
The University has its own good traditions, among which the most important place is occupied by the annual celebration of the Day of the Russian-Armenian (Slavonic) University (September 15).
The Russian-Armenian (Slavonic) University established a commemorative gold medal "Olive Branch with Diamonds". According to the regulations on the medal, it is awarded once, in exceptional cases - twice a year. Among those awarded may be figures of literature and art, politicians, businessmen - people devoted to Russia and Armenia, the difficult and high fate of our two countries, our two peoples.
In 2010, the University Gold Medal was established. By decision of the RAU Academic Council, it is awarded to confirm the merits of the RAU faculty and staff who have made a significant contribution to the formation and development of the University.
The Honorary Cross of the RAU, established in 2004, is awarded to prominent figures of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Armenia in the field of culture, science, education and politics.
