Why use groups?

• You are a teacher in a course where you have several classes and you want to filter your activities and gradebook so you only see one class at a time.
• You are a teacher sharing a course with other teachers and you want to filter your activities and gradebook so you don't see the students from your colleagues’ classes.
• You want to allocate a particular activity, resource or topic section to just one class or set of users and you don't want others to see it.
• This screencast about using groups also highlights the benefits of using groups.

Group levels

A group or grouping can be used on two levels:

• Course level - The group mode defined at the course level is the default mode for all activities defined within that course. To use groups you need first to set a group mode in Administration > Course administration > Edit settings.
• Activity level - Each activity that supports groups can also have its own group mode defined. If the course setting "Force group mode" is set to "Yes" then the option to define the group mode for individual activities is not available. If it is set to "No", then the teacher may change the group mode:

Group modes

There are three group modes

• No groups - There are no sub groups, everyone is part of one big community
• Separate groups - Each group can only see their own group, others are invisible.
• Visible groups - Each group works in their own group, but can also see other groups. (The other groups' work is read-only.)

For example, enabling either separate or visible groups on an assignment drop-box enables staff to filter the student submissions to see only those from a particular tutor group. With visible groups, students can see which other groups are doing the same activities as they are; with separate groups, they do not know which other groups are doing the same activities.

Using groups with discussion forums allow teachers to restrict interaction between students. Separate groups mean only students in the same group can see and participate in discussions within a particular forum. Visible groups allow students to see other group's discussions, but only participate in their own group's discussions.

Note: Where visible groups are used or the participant can access all groups, the user's own group is shown first, followed by other groups:

Creating a group

• (using the Boost theme) select Participants from Course navigation and from the dropdown select Groups .
• (using the Classic theme) Administration > Course administration > Users > Groups
• Add a group name and optional description (displayed above the list of group members on the participants page), enrolment key and picture (displayed on the participants page and next to forum posts)
• Tick the box Enable group messaging if you wish to enage in group conversations. You will then be able to send group messages from the messaging drawer. Make sure you are in the group as well as your students. See Messaging for more information.
• Click the 'Save changes' button
• Select the group to which you want to add participants, then click the 'Add/remove users button
• In the "Potential members" list, select the users you want to add to the group. Multiple users may be selected using the Crtl key.
• Click the Add button to add the users to the group

An optional group ID number (an advanced setting) may be added for matching the group against external systems. Group ID numbers are not displayed anywhere on the site. Within a course, all group ID numbers must be unique. Thus it's not possible to create a group with a duplicate group ID number.

Group membership visibility

While setting up your group, as in the section above Creating a group , you can decide who sees the group members from the Group membership visibility dropdown. By default, group members can see other members but you can change this so that:

• only group members see other members - or
• group members do not see other members - or
• only the teacher sees group members.

Bulk enable/disable group messaging

New in 4.3: Group messaging may be enabled or disabled in bulk by selecting the desired groups and clicking the relevant button. This might be useful for example if many groups are auto-created.

Group/Grouping custom fields

New in 4.3 If the admin has created group or grouping custom fields from Site administration > Courses > Groups then when creating a new group or grouping these custom fields are available.

Auto-create groups

Groups may be created automatically via the 'Auto-create groups' button in Administration > Course administration > Users > Groups . To see all the settings, click the Expand all link top right.

A naming scheme can be created automatically. # is replaced by sequential numbers, and @ by letters. For example:

• Group @ will create group with a naming scheme Group A, Group B, Group C . . .
• Group # will create group with a naming scheme Group 1, Group 2, Group 3 . . .

You can specify if you would like to create

• x number of Groups or
• each group contain x number of students

Prevent last small group

When selecting Members per group , depending on the number of users in the course, the last group can end up with significantly fewer members than expected. You can select Prevent last small group to avoid the situation. If the last group would be smaller than 70% of the expected size, it will not be created. Instead, Moodle will allocate additional members to existing groups rather than create a new group with few members.

Hint: If you need to customize the 70% ratio used in these calculations on your site, ask your administrator to set the constant `AUTOGROUP_MIN_RATIO` in the main config.php.

Group members

Select members from ... allows you to choose from roles assigned within the course, available cohorts, groups or groupings. Specify and Group/Member count work together.

The setting 'Select members from cohort' lists all cohorts which users enrolled on the current course are part of. The number in brackets is the number of users enrolled on the course in that cohort.

The 'Ignore users in groups' checkbox should be ticked to only select group members from users that are NOT already in a group in the course.

The 'Include only active enrolments' checkbox provides the option to choose whether to include suspended users in groups. The checkbox is only displayed to users with the capability to view suspended users .

Create in grouping and Grouping name allows you to create a new grouping and allocate the new auto-created groups to be created to it.

Prior to creating the groups, you can view the groups.

Restricting an activity, resource or course topic to a particular group

To be able to restrict an activity, resource or course topic to a group, Restrict access must be enabled. This will result in a 'Restrict access' section in the activity, resource or topic settings and a group restriction can then be added.

Groups and enrol plugins

Where groups are created automatically with enrol plugins such as IMS Enterprise, members cannot be unenrolled manually via the groups screen inside a course. This has to be done from the plugin. Additionally, when group members are owned by a plugin like this, there is information below their name on the groups screen.

Groups overview

A overview of groups and groupings is available via the Overview tab in Administration > Course administration > Users > Groups .

The table may be filtered to display particular groupings or groups and it will also display students who are not in a group.

Groups capabilities

• Manage groups
• Access all groups
• Manage group calendar entries
• Upload users - for importing users into groups
• Enrolment key
• Autogroup additionalplugin - A local plugin which automatically assigns enrolled users on a course into groups dependent upon information within their user profile. (Now with custom profile field support - called User Info Field in settings.) This plugin will create, update, and delete groups automatically to match the users on your course.

Assign an activity to a grouping, use restrict access to assign an activity to groups.

Use Groups in Moodle, to assign a particular activity (or all course activities) to groups of students. Groups can be especially useful for activities where students interact with one another. With forums, wikis, and databases, students in the same group can post and reply only to each other. Each group member always works in their own group, but you can control whether or not they can see contributions of members of other groups.

Before you begin, please note that if you are using a Moodle Assignment activity there are two ways to use groups:

• Each student in a group submits individually If you follow the instructions below for an assignment activity, each student will make their own submission(s), and will not be able to interact or see other student's postings. If you want students to be able to see each other's work, consider using a Forum , Wiki , or Database instead of an assignment.
• A group of students works together to make a common assignment submission See Configure & Grade Group Assignments in Moodle if you want students in a group to make a common submission that represents their joint work. The group submission will not be visible to other groups. If you want students to be able to see each other's work, consider using a Forum , Wiki , or Database instead of an assignment.

Groupings are a collection of groups, and you can assign activities to specific groupings as needed.

• To assign a specific activity to a grouping, you must first set up the grouping. For instructions on making a grouping, refer to Create Groupings in Moodle .
• On your course page, click Turn editing on (top right).
• Add the activity you will assign to groups (see About Adding Activities to a Moodle Course ), or if the activity has already been added to the course, click Edit (at right of activity), then Edit settings . The activity's Settings page will open.
• Click Common module settings to view and adjust group settings for the activity.
• Visible groups allows non-group members to see the work of other groups

• From the Grouping drop-down menu, select the name of the grouping you wish to use.

Restrict access can be used in a variety of ways in Moodle to limit the access to your activities:

• Restrict access can be used to assign an activity to a particular group without having to use a grouping. For example, you can create an activity for only one section of a multiple-section course, such as an honors or graduate section.
• You can also use Restrict access to assign an activity to course members who are not in a particular group or grouping, or, by adding multiple restrictions, a mix of Groups or Groupings.

For a detailed explanation of group modes, see Group Modes in Moodle .

• On your course page, click Turn editing on .
• Configure the settings for the activity but do not set Common module settings as you normally would when assigning an activity to a grouping.
• Under Restrict access, click Add restriction... . The Add restriction...  pop-up opens.

• For Access restrictions , from the Student drop-down menu, select whether the student must or must not match the group.
• From the Group (or Grouping) drop-down menu, select the name of a group (or grouping).
• (Optional) To add an additional restriction, click Add restriction .
• Click Save and display to save and open the assignment or click Save and return to course to return to your course page.

Note : When using Restrict access, be careful to check Common module settings for conflicts. For example, if you select a grouping in the Common module settings , and also use Restrict access to restrict the activity to a group that doesn't belong to that grouping, no one will be able to access the activity.

• Create an assignment for group submission

Assignments in Moodle can be set up to allow groups of students to work collaboratively on a single assignment. In a Group Assignment:

• One member of the group submits the file or writes the initial text of the assignment
• Other members of the group can download, update and re-upload a file or edit a text entry.
• A course editor may choose to configure the assignment so that it requires all members of the group to click on the 'Submit assignment' button before the assignment is considered fully submitted.

A Grader can give all the group members the same grade and feedback or choose to give individual grades and feedback.

Creating a Group Assignment

1. If you have not done so, create Groups at the course level.

• See 'Create groups' for guidance on the setup.
• The same Groups can be applied to multiple activities.

2. Go to your Moodle space and click 'Turn editing on'

3. Click on 'Add an activity or resource' in the section where you want to add the Assignment

5. Enter an Assignment name and Description

6. Scroll down to 'Group submission settings:

• Under ' Students submit in groups' , select 'Yes'
• If desired, under 'Require group to make submission', select 'Yes'.
• This setting requires only one student in the group to click on the 'Submit assignment' button before the assignment can be graded.

• If you desire all group members to submit, under 'Submission settings', set 'Require students click submit button' to 'Yes' .

Please note, one student can still upload a file or type text for the entire group. However, all students will need to click on the 'Submit assignment' button before it is actually submitted.

• Under 'Group submission settings', Set 'Require all group members to submit' to 'Yes' .

• Scroll down to 'Common module settings' ;
• Under Group mode , select Separate groups
• This setting enables group members to only see their own group. Other groups become invisible to the memebers.

This step is important if you are assigning different Assignment activities to different groups in your Moodle space.

• Set any additional assignment options. For other Assignment options, see 'Assignment settings'
• Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click 'Save and return to course'.

Moodle – Group Assignment (summative)

Assessment type: Coursework

Below is the TEL recommended workflow for a summative Group Assignment. Here are our  recommendations for a formative Group Assignment .  The guidance provided is for general use.

Recommended workflow:

1. check/housekeep existing groups.

If Groups have previously been used in previous year in the unit, you will need to  delete the old Groups  first.

2. Create Groups/Groupings

Before you can create a Group Assignment, you will first need to  create some Groups

3. Populate Groups with Students

Once you have made some Groups, there are currently two recommended approaches to adding students to them. If you want to add the students yourself, you can follow the steps here to  manually add students to Groups.

Alternatively you can set up the  Group self-allocation tool  so that your students can add themselves into Groups

4. Provide detailed information about the Group Assignment

It’s important to provide all the necessary information for students about the Assignment, including marking criteria and hand-in dates and expectations. This could be provided via a detailed resource such as a Moodle Page .

5. Create a Group Assignment

When creating the Assignment , check that the Group submission setting is active. Don’t forget to use the Tag setting to flag the Assignment as ‘Summative’. Students can submit a range of files PDF/Word/PPT or specialist files, (or even online text), so make sure to specify the file type(s) you want them to use. (Please note that although Anonymous Marking is a University requirement where practicable, it may not be appropriate for some Group assessments).

6. Provide submission instructions in the Description

Use the ‘Description’ box to provide clear and complete instructions for submission. For example, be sure to include the date, time and format for submission.

7. Use Grade Transfer setting* to link your Assignment to SAMIS

To make transferring marks to SAMIS as simple as possible, use the Grade Transfer setting in the Assignment to link your Assignment to SAMIS. Once marking has been completed, you can then transfer marks to SAMIS with a few clinks by  using Grade Transfer * Setting only available to unit convenors.

8. Manage extensions where needed

If you need to apply an extension in the Assignment,  follow the steps here . Please note that granting an extension in Moodle does not include any administration of the extension request. For your local procedures for considering and granting extension requests, please consult with your Director of Studies and local Programme Administration team.

9. After the deadline, lock student submissions

After the deadline has passed,  lock the student submissions  to prevent any changes being made.

10. Provide feedback/annotations and marks on the submission

If you have used the standard Group Assignment settings, only one student will need to make a submission on behalf of the Group. From the markers point of view, the submission will appear against all members of a Group. You can choose to mark the submission of any one of the group members.

There are several different ways to provide feedback, however for text based assignment we recommend that you either –  add feedback/annotations and marks online in the Moodle grading interface , or, use the  batch upload/download and grading worksheet to return marks and feedback .

Once you have completed marking a submission, ensure that you  apply marks and feedback to all members of the Group . Use of advanced marking and feedback approaches such as  Marking Guides and Rubrics  is also possible.

11. Release Marks and Feedback to Students with Marking Workflow

When you are ready to release marks and feedback to students, the simplest way to do this, and to send students a notification,  is to use Marking Workflow . Please note that in order to release marks/feedback, you will also need to  lift anonymity  . Your students will now be able to review their marks and feedback in Moodle.

12. Unit convenor can transfer grades to SAMIS using Grade Transfer

Only the unit convenor (who has the Teacher + role in Moodle) can  transfer the marks to SAMIS using Grade Transfer .

Notes on Moderation and External Examiners

If you would like moderation to take place within Moodle the simplest way to do this is to grant your Moderator/External Examiner access to the course. In the case of externals, you should liaise with your local programme admin team who can advise on arranging access, and contact DDaT to  arrange temporary accounts where needed .

In terms of using Moodle to identify a moderation sample within Moodle, there is potential to set the Marking Workflow states (not marked, in marking, in review, marking complete, ready for release, released). This is something you would need to agree with your colleagues locally.

Notes on Archiving Policy

An archive snapshot of Moodle is taken every year on or around the 1st August, with previous versions of Moodle being available in the  Moodle Archive . Any Assignments present in Moodle at the time of the snapshot will be available in the archive to any student or member of staff who was enrolled in the course at the time that the archive copy was made. If you don’t want assignment questions to be present in the archive copy of your unit, remember to remove them ahead of archiving taking place.

Create and grade group assignments in moodle print.

Modified on: Tue, Jan 25, 2022 at 2:32 PM

In Moodle, you have the option to create assignments where students can work in groups that allows each group to submit a submission.

Step 1: Create Your Student Groups

Before creating your group-based assignment, you need to create groups to put the students in for your course. To get started, follow the instructions at the following link: How to Create Groups in Moodle

Step 2: Enable Group Submission and Create Your Assignment

• Now it is time to create your assignment. Turn editing on in your course (top right button).
• Click +Add and Activity or Resource and select Assignment .
• In the General  section, add your title, description, and any additional files that go with your assignment.
• In the Availability section, set your due date, cutoff date, and when you would like to start allowing submissions.
• In the Submission Types section, decide if you want to allow online text or file submission. Typically file submission is used.
• In the Feedback Types section, make sure that Feedback comments, Annotate PDF, and Feedback Files are selected.
• In the Submission settings section, select “Yes” for Require students click submit button . Setting this option to “Yes” will require the students to click submit to formally indicate the submission is ready for grading.
• Require group to make submission  – if this option is enabled, then users who are not part of a group will not be able to submit.
• Require all group members submit – if this option is enabled, then all members of the group must click the submit button for the assignment to be considered submitted and final.  If this option is disabled, the group submission will be considered as submitted as soon as any member of the group clicks the submit button.
• Grouping for student groups – This is the grouping that the assignment will use to find groups for student groups. If not set, the default set of groups will be used. The default setting of None is appropriate.
• In the Common Module Settings section, from the Group Mode drop down menu, select Separate Groups or Visible Groups .
• Next, click Save and Return to Course .

Step 3: Grade Student Submissions

• On your course page, click the link to the assignment activity.
• Next, click View/grade all submissions .
• From the Separate Groups or Visible Groups drop-down menu, select a group to grade. The page will reload to show only the students in the selected group.
• If you would like your grade and feedback to only be provided for an individual student, select “No” under Group submission settings .

Moodle can be set up for assignments that only require one member of a group to submit a document.  Grading the assignment will send the same grade to all members of the group.  

Configuration

Set up groups.

Click Participants (under course title)→  Groups (from dropdown menu)

Click Create Group

Give the group a name (e.g. "Group 1" or "Monday Lab A") and save

Select the newly created group and click on Add/remove users .  Add users as needed to this group.

Repeat the process for all the groups in the course

Set up the assignment

Create a Moodle assignment as usual , but adjust the settings for group submission.

Under Group submission settings section

Students submit in groups  → Yes

Under Common Module settings section

Group mode  → Visible groups

If all groups have the same deadline, set the due date as normal.  If different groups have different deadlines (e.g. for lab groups meeting on different days) it is possible to set up different due dates for different groups.  Click on the assignment → More → Overrides → Group Overrides .  Set the due dates for each group as needed.  

Alternatively, it is possible to disable the due date for the assignment and rely on Moodle's assignment grading interface to show when the students submitted their work.  The View all submissions screen shows the dates for student submissions and can be used to ensure that the assignment was turned in on time.

How it works

Students will submit files to the assignment as usual, but when one group member submits a file, it will show up under all the group members' submissions.  Grading one group member will send the grade to all group members.  

Other Notes

It is more difficult to set up assignments if the groups change throughout the semester, but it is possible using something called a "Grouping".  Groupings are sets of groups. 

Create a "Week 1" Grouping and then create and populate Groups A, B, and C within the Week 1 grouping.  Create the assignment for Week 1 and specify the "Week 1" grouping in the Group Submission Settings → Grouping for student groups.  

Repeat the same process for Week 2 with a new grouping and new groups A, B, and C within the Week 2 grouping.  

It can get time consuming to create the groups.  It is possible to import a csv file with the group memberships, if that is an easier format for you to generate: https://docs.moodle.org/en/Import_groups

How to grade submissions under a group assignment in Moodle

Moodle allows you to ask for group submissions (such as essays, presentations, or projects) by using the ‘Assignment’ activity. It also allows you to grade  inside  or  outside  of Moodle and to use different  feedback types .

In this article, we will show you how to mark group submissions by using the blue ‘Grade’ button in Moodle.

How to grade group submissions

To grade group submissions in Moodle, please follow the steps below.

• Sign in to your Moodle account and select the course where you have created the group submission point. Please open the activity on a new page and then navigate to the Grading table by clicking on the ‘View all submissions’ button.
• Once you are there, please select a group from the drop-down list where it says ‘Separate groups (Group Assignment)’. In this case, we have selected ‘Group A’.

• The list will then reload as only those submissions will be shown that are allocated to ‘Group A’ in this case. Please click on the ‘Grade’ next to a submission – it does not matter which you choose specifically as the same submission file will appear next to each group member.

• A new page will open where you can grade the submission in two different ways (this place we call the Grading window), depending on the fact whether you would like all members to receive the same mark or you would like to individually grade them, for example, in case they did not contribute to the group work on the same level.
• If you wish to add the same mark to each member, then please enter the grade in the box where it says ‘Grade out of 100’.

• Please make sure you set to ‘Yes’ the settings ‘Apply grades and feedback to entire group’ that appears at the bottom of the page.

• Lastly, click on the ‘Save changes’ button to finalise your action.
• Please keep in mind that this grade will apply to all members as the same file has been submitted, therefore, you need to enter it once at one of the members only.

• If you wish to add different marks to each or some of the members, then you would need to individually enter grades for each student in the box where it says ‘Grade out of 100’ (as shown above). In this case, before saving the grade (‘Save changes’ button at the bottom of the page), please make sure you set the setting ‘Apply grades and feedback to entire group’ to ‘No’ that appears at the bottom of the page.

• Please keep in mind that you need to repeat the same grading process next to each member, as not the same grade will be given to them, regardless of the fact that the same file has been submitted by the members.

Moodle lets you submit assignments online as a group. You must submit all parts of your assignment before the assignment deadline. 

It is important to read assignment instructions carefully as group assignments can be set up in a number of different ways, which are detailed throughout this guide.

• Agree a group leader who is responsible for submitting the assignment file.
• Agree a deadline as a group, for each group member to confirm that the file has been submitted and to complete any steps required to finalise the assignment.
• Agree how you will update the group, if a group member makes changes to the submitted assignment file and re-uploads it before the deadline.

Group Assignments can be set up in two different ways by your lecturer. Review the instructions and guidance provided by the lecturer to make sure you complete all the steps required to submit your group assignment correctly.

The tabbed boxes below provide an overview of the different Group Assignment types.

• Confirmation required
• Review required

In this type of Group assignment:

• The Group leader submits the assignment on behalf of the group.
• The  Submission status  will remain as  Draft (not submitted)  until each member of the group accesses the Group Assignment and selects the  Submit assignment  button.
• If a new assignment file is submitted, any students in the group who have already selected  Submit assignment  for the previous assignment file will not need to do so again. Any students in the group who have not yet selected  Submit assignment for this group assignment will need to do so for the assignment to be submitted for grading.
• Group leader submits assignment on behalf of the group. The  Submission status  of the assignment changes to  Submitted for grading .
• There is no requirement on group members to select a  Submit assignment  button to confirm the submission.
• If the Group leader has been required to select the  Submit assignment  button then other group members cannot replace or add to the assignment submission.
• If the Group leader has not been required to select the Submit assignment button then any group member can replace or add to the Group assignment submission prior to the deadline

CURRENT PROJECTS

Kyrgyzstan: bishkek.

Solid waste project In early 2016, GMCS was awarded a consultancy contract by the City of Bishkek, funded by the EBRD (European Bank of Reconstruction and Development) to improve their MSW (Municipal Solid Waste) management system. This project is highly welcomed by both local and international community. The Mayor of the city of Bishkek has introduced “Recycling and better handling of waste in Bishkek” (accessible here) and 94 local schools will teach students and their parents about benefits of recycling and better waste handling. This will not only educate the new generation, but also dramatically improve the current situation in Bishkek. This project, since it has a high involvement from community and local media, will dramatically improve the situation of waste handling and Kyrgyzstan’s environment in general. GMCS team will be implementing financial and operational improvement program and handle communications to ensure that everything meets the standards needed. We are more than confident that our team of international, and more importantly local, experts will meet all the requirements necessary for this project and help to achieve the goals of the community and local government.

KAZAKHSTAN: PAVLODAR

Tram Project The Pavlodar Tram Project in Kazakhstan is a joint initiative of the EBRD and the Pavlodar Oblast Akimat. Its objectives include rehabilitation of the existing tram infrastructure along with acquisition of new trams. GMCS was recently awarded a consultancy contract for providing project implementation support, including procurement and contracts administration. Our goal is to facilitate a timely and effective implementation of the Tram Project that is vital for the commercial and social activities in Pavlodar. In the past, GMCS has implemented similar transportation projects in other regions of the former Soviet Union. We are now looking forward to apply our practical experience to the modernization of public transport system in Pavlodar, Kazakhstan – in a socially, economically and environmentally sustainable manner.

Title : Active carbons as nanoporous materials for solving of environmental problems

However, up to now, the main carriers of catalytic additives have been mineral sorbents: silica gels, alumogels. This is obviously due to the fact that they consist of pure homogeneous components SiO2 and Al2O3, respectively. It is generally known that impurities, especially the ash elements, are catalytic poisons that reduce the effectiveness of the catalyst. Therefore, carbon sorbents with 5-15% by weight of ash elements in their composition are not used in the above mentioned technologies. However, in such an important field as a gas-mask technique, carbon sorbents (active carbons) are carriers of catalytic additives, providing effective protection of a person against any types of potent poisonous substances (PPS). In ESPE “JSC "Neorganika" there has been developed the technology of unique ashless spherical carbon carrier-catalysts by the method of liquid forming of furfural copolymers with subsequent gas-vapor activation, brand PAC. Active carbons PAC have 100% qualitative characteristics of the three main properties of carbon sorbents: strength - 100%, the proportion of sorbing pores in the pore space – 100%, purity - 100% (ash content is close to zero). A particularly outstanding feature of active PAC carbons is their uniquely high mechanical compressive strength of 740 ± 40 MPa, which is 3-7 times larger than that of  such materials as granite, quartzite, electric coal, and is comparable to the value for cast iron - 400-1000 MPa. This allows the PAC to operate under severe conditions in moving and fluidized beds.  Obviously, it is time to actively develop catalysts based on PAC sorbents for oil refining, petrochemicals, gas processing and various technologies of organic synthesis.

The Comprehensive Guide to Moscow Nightlife

• Posted on April 14, 2018 July 26, 2018

• 8 minute read

Moscow’s nightlife scene is thriving, and arguably one of the best the world has to offer – top-notch Russian women, coupled with a never-ending list of venues, Moscow has a little bit of something for everyone’s taste. Moscow nightlife is not for the faint of heart – and if you’re coming, you better be ready to go Friday and Saturday night into the early morning.

This comprehensive guide to Moscow nightlife will run you through the nuts and bolts of all you need to know about Moscow’s nightclubs and give you a solid blueprint to operate with during your time in Moscow.

What you need to know before hitting Moscow nightclubs

Prices in moscow nightlife.

Before you head out and start gaming all the sexy Moscow girls , we have to talk money first. Bring plenty because in Moscow you can never bring a big enough bankroll. Remember, you’re the man so making a fuzz of not paying a drink here or there will not go down well.

Luckily most Moscow clubs don’t do cover fees. Some electro clubs will charge 15-20$, depending on their lineup. There’s the odd club with a minimum spend of 20-30$, which you’ll drop on drinks easily. By and large, you can scope out the venues for free, which is a big plus.

Bottle service is a great deal in Moscow. At top-tier clubs, it starts at 1,000$. That’ll go a long way with premium vodka at 250$, especially if you have three or four guys chipping in. Not to mention that it’s a massive status boost for getting girls, especially at high-end clubs.

Without bottle service, you should estimate a budget of 100-150$ per night. That is if you drink a lot and hit the top clubs with the hottest girls. Scale down for less alcohol and more basic places.

Dress code & Face control

Door policy in Moscow is called “face control” and it’s always the guy behind the two gorillas that gives the green light if you’re in or out.

In Moscow nightlife there’s only one rule when it comes to dress codes:

You can never be underdressed.

People dress A LOT sharper than, say, in the US and that goes for both sexes. For high-end clubs, you definitely want to roll with a sharp blazer and a pocket square, not to mention dress shoes in tip-top condition. Those are the minimum requirements to level the playing field vis a vis with other sharply dressed guys that have a lot more money than you do. Unless you plan to hit explicit electro or underground clubs, which have their own dress code, you are always on the money with that style.

Getting in a Moscow club isn’t as hard as it seems: dress sharp, speak English at the door and look like you’re in the mood to spend all that money that you supposedly have (even if you don’t). That will open almost any door in Moscow’s nightlife for you.

Types of Moscow Nightclubs

In Moscow there are four types of clubs with the accompanying female clientele:

High-end clubs:

These are often crossovers between restaurants and clubs with lots of tables and very little space to dance. Heavy accent on bottle service most of the time but you can work the room from the bar as well. The hottest and most expensive girls in Moscow go there. Bring deep pockets and lots of self-confidence and you have a shot at swooping them.

Regular Mid-level clubs:

They probably resemble more what you’re used to in a nightclub: big dancefloors, stages and more space to roam around. Bottle service will make you stand out more but you can also do well without. You can find all types of girls but most will be in the 6-8 range. Your targets should always be the girls drinking and ideally in pairs. It’s impossible not to swoop if your game is at least half-decent.

Basic clubs/dive bars:

Usually spots with very cheap booze and lax face control. If you’re dressed too sharp and speak no Russian, you might attract the wrong type of attention so be vigilant. If you know the local scene you can swoop 6s and 7s almost at will. Usually students and girls from the suburbs.

Electro/underground clubs:

Home of the hipsters and creatives. Parties there don’t mean meeting girls and getting drunk but doing pills and spacing out to the music. Lots of attractive hipster girls if that is your niche. That is its own scene with a different dress code as well.

What time to go out in Moscow

Moscow nightlife starts late. Don’t show up at bars and preparty spots before 11pm because you’ll feel fairly alone. Peak time is between 1am and 3am. That is also the time of Moscow nightlife’s biggest nuisance: concerts by artists you won’t know and who only distract your girls from drinking and being gamed. From 4am to 6am the regular clubs are emptying out but plenty of people, women included, still hit up one of the many afterparty clubs. Those last till well past 10am.

As far as days go: Fridays and Saturdays are peak days. Thursday is an OK day, all other days are fairly weak and you have to know the right venues.

The Ultimate Moscow Nightclub List

Short disclaimer: I didn’t add basic and electro clubs since you’re coming for the girls, not for the music. This list will give you more options than you’ll be able to handle on a weekend.

Preparty – start here at 11PM

Classic restaurant club with lots of tables and a smallish bar and dancefloor. Come here between 11pm and 12am when the concert is over and they start with the actual party. Even early in the night tons of sexy women here, who lean slightly older (25 and up).

The second floor of the Ugolek restaurant is an extra bar with dim lights and house music tunes. Very small and cozy with a slight hipster vibe but generally draws plenty of attractive women too. A bit slower vibe than Valenok.

Very cool, spread-out venue that has a modern library theme. Not always full with people but when it is, it’s brimming with top-tier women. Slow vibe here and better for grabbing contacts and moving on.

High-end: err on the side of being too early rather than too late because of face control.

Secret Room

Probably the top venue at the moment in Moscow . Very small but wildly popular club, which is crammed with tables but always packed. They do parties on Thursdays and Sundays as well. This club has a hip-hop/high-end theme, meaning most girls are gold diggers, IG models, and tattooed hip hop chicks. Very unfavorable logistics because there is almost no room no move inside the club but the party vibe makes it worth it. Strict face control.

Close to Secret Room and with a much more favorable and spacious three-part layout. This place attracts very hot women but also lots of ball busters and fakes that will leave you blue-balled. Come early because after 4am it starts getting empty fast. Electronic music.

A slightly kitsch restaurant club that plays Russian pop and is full of gold diggers, semi-pros, and men from the Caucasus republics. Thursday is the strongest night but that dynamic might be changing since Secret Room opened its doors. You can swoop here but it will be a struggle.

Mid-level: your sweet spot in terms of ease and attractiveness of girls for an average budget.

Started going downwards in 2018 due to lax face control and this might get even worse with the World Cup. In terms of layout one of the best Moscow nightclubs because it’s very big and bottle service gives you a good edge here. Still attracts lots of cute girls with loose morals but plenty of provincial girls (and guys) as well. Swooping is fairly easy here.

I haven’t been at this place in over a year, ever since it started becoming ground zero for drunken teenagers. Similar clientele to Icon but less chic, younger and drunker. Decent mainstream music that attracts plenty of tourists. Girls are easy here as well.

Sort of a Coyote Ugly (the real one in Moscow sucks) with party music and lots of drunken people licking each others’ faces. Very entertaining with the right amount of alcohol and very easy to pull in there. Don’t think about staying sober in here, you’ll hate it.

Artel Bessonitsa/Shakti Terrace

Electronic music club that is sort of a high-end place with an underground clientele and located between the teenager clubs Icon and Gipsy. Very good music but a bit all over the place with their vibe and their branding. You can swoop almost any type of girl here from high-heeled beauty to coked-up hipsters, provided they’re not too sober.

Afterparty: if by 5AM  you haven’t pulled, it’s time to move here.

Best afterparty spot in terms of trying to get girls. Pretty much no one is sober in there and savage gorilla game goes a long way. Lots of very hot and slutty-looking girls but it can be hard to tell apart who is looking for dick and who is just on drugs but not interested. If by 9-10am you haven’t pulled, it is probably better to surrender.

The hipster alternative for afterparties, where even more drugs are in play. Plenty of attractive girls there but you have to know how to work this type of club. A nicer atmosphere and better music but if you’re desperate to pull, you’ll probably go to Miks.

Weekday jokers: if you’re on the hunt for some sexy Russian girls during the week, here are two tips to make your life easier.

Chesterfield

Ladies night on Wednesdays means this place gets pretty packed with smashed teenagers and 6s and 7s. Don’t pull out the three-piece suit in here because it’s a “simpler” crowd. Definitely your best shot on Wednesdays.

If you haven’t pulled at Chesterfield, you can throw a Hail Mary and hit up Garage’s Black Music Wednesdays. Fills up really late but there are some cute Black Music groupies in here. Very small club. Thursday through Saturday they do afterparties and you have an excellent shot and swooping girls that are probably high.

Shishas Sferum

This is pretty much your only shot on Mondays and Tuesdays because they offer free or almost free drinks for women. A fairly low-class club where you should watch your drinks. As always the case in Moscow, there will be cute girls here on any day of the week but it’s nowhere near as good as on the weekend.

In a nutshell, that is all you need to know about where to meet Moscow girls in nightlife. There are tons of options, and it all depends on what best fits your style, based on the type of girls that you’re looking for.
