This is about awarding grants to students in Russian universities. I'm wondering if this refers to undergrads, not sure:
В конкурсе принимают участие как студенты 3-5 курсов, так и 1 и 2 курсов магистратуры.
В конкурсе принимают участие как студенты 3-5 курсов, так и 1 и 2 курсов магистратуры.

seniors
There are two systems of education in Russian universities. One is a whole 5-year-study (you must study all 5 years to get a degree of a specialist), another is Bachelor+Master (4+2). In your document the 1st is meant, I would better characterize them as seniors
