A clear look at how Russian universities work: the academic system, tuition and housing costs, and the support you get at every step.
Students arriving in Russia for their studies begin with a one-year Russian language course at the pre-faculty level, taught in small groups of 5 to 10 people made up entirely of international students. The course runs from September to June, in line with the Russian academic year, which covers about 10 months of classes from the start of September through the end of June.
From there, a bachelor's degree typically takes 4 years to complete, while a master's degree takes 2 years, with the exception of the Medical faculty, which follows its own timeline. Russian universities and the education they provide are recognized worldwide, across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas.
