70% of the School\u2019s graduates do internships with the UN. 41% of the School\u2019s graduates get full-time jobs with the Russian MFA and such international organizations as the UN, FAO, WHO, WMO, WIPO, and others.<\/p>\n
The courses at the School are designed and\u00a0taught exclusively by practicing interpreters and translators.<\/p>\n
