In November, the studiosa around the world celebrated International Student Day. And today we are celebrating our own, “localized” Day of Russian students - 264 years ago a decree was signed on the establishment of Moscow University, today known in narrow circles as Moscow State University. And in honor of the holiday catch a selection of courses GeekBrains and video lectures for every taste. After all, 200 years ago it was possible to get a diploma and live well with the knowledge gained before the grandchildren, and today knowledge is becoming obsolete rapidly.

And while you read, do not forget to include the immortal Gaudeamus Igitur as a background .
