WHY RUSSIA?

According to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Russia has the most educated population in the world, outperforming Canada, Japan, Israel and the USA. More than half of Russians have higher education qualification. More than 200,000 people from 168 countries come to study at Russian universities.

In Russia, international applicants can choose from: 766 universities in 82 regions of the country, from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok; 205 fields, from mathematics and natural sciences to the dramatic arts; 657 subjects in Bachelor’s, Master’s, Specialist and Postgraduate Programmes (medical traineeships, postgraduate military courses), and internships and assistantships.

Russian universities are evolving rapidly. Over the recent years, the number of Russian higher education institutions in world education rankings has increased considerably. Top universities in Russia are present in prestigious QS, THE and ARWU rankings.

Affordable tuition is among the key advantages of Russian higher education. The average tuition fee at Russian universities is 136,333 rubles ($2,097) a year.

A broad range of majors is another advantage of studying in Russia. You can be trained for nearly every profession. Universities offer applicants more than 200 fields of study, from mathematical sciences to design, and more than 650 majors at different education levels.

Prospective international students have been traditionally interested in medical majors which accounted for 20 percent of all foreign nationals in 2016/2017

There are around 50 medical universities and colleges in Russia which operate under the aegis of the Ministry of Public Health of the Russian Federation, and the degrees offered by them are globally recognized by the WHO and the UNESCO.

Russia is one of the few countries to offer foreign citizens the opportunity to receive free tuition. Every year, the Russian government awards several thousand scholarships (quotas) to international students. For example, in 2019 universities were allocated 15,000 quotas

In 2003, Russia signed the Bologna Declaration, assuming several obligations as part of the creation of a common educational space of participant countries. Diplomas of Russian universities are recognised in most countries. This procedure is facilitated by intergovernmental agreements of Russia with more than 60 countries, including Finland, Spain, Cuba, India, Vietnam, China, Venezuela, France,Cyprus and Malta and with Uzbekistan

Many Russian universities are implementing joint programmes with foreign universities and are issuing dual diplomas to their graduates. In other words, by studying in Russia you can receive a Russian diploma and a diploma from a European university.

Most people associate Russia with its culture, and Russians rightly take enormous pride in it. Russia has given the world many great writers, poets, philosophers, composers, artists and musicians. Russian cities today are centres of cultural life, where exhibitions, festivals, concerts, shows, performances and other cultural and entertainment events take place on a national and international level.

RUSSIA IN NUMBERS

Russia has 4,246,000 students studying in 766 Universities , of which 2,60,100 are International Students.

Russia boasts of 766 Universities of which 29 are National Research Universities, 10 Federal Universities.

The tuition fee at Russian universities varies from RUB 121,000 to 770,000 (USD 1,860-11,846) per year depending on the region, university, and discipline.

The students who are admitted to state-funded places on a competitive basis or who are awarded a government scholarship (quotas) study free-of-charge. Those students receive an allowance (the average monthly allowance in 2018 is RUB 1,484/USD 22, for postgraduate students it is RUB 2,921/USD 44).

A student in Russia needs USD 300 to 400 per month on average or USD 3,000 to 4,000 per academic year (September to June).

INTERNATIONAL RANKING

In recent years, Russia has been making an enormous effort to modernise its higher education system and open it up to foreign students. At the same time, the government-led “Project 5-100” has been aiming at bringing at least 5 Russian universities into the top 100 into the most respected global university rankings. The initiative has started to show results; more than a dozen Russian universities are now among the world’s top 500, and the results are improving every year.
