Detailed Information On Education Study in Russia

Why Study in Russia

Studying in Russia is both prestigious and advantageous. You can be sure that you will acquire all the knowledge you need in your chosen subject. Russia has a lot of universities, so you have a widechoice. All you need to do is to choose a programme you like, prepare the documents required, come to Russia, and start studying. You can either study on a commercial basis or for free with the support of the Russian Government, which allocates a certain number of state-funded places for foreign students at universities every year. Read our detailed instructions about what you need to do to enrol in a Russian university. There are a number of different forms of funding, grants, and scholarships, so every student can choose the most suitable option.

Students studying in Russia can expect to have any number of experiences in Russia. After all, saying that there is but one Russia to get to know is like saying that every part of America is exactly the same, from California to Montana to Rhode Island. But whether you visit the beautiful imperial city of Saint Petersburg, wandering the same charming streets that Tolstoy wrote about and marveling at the baroque architecture, or if you spend your time in Moscow, the capital city of this mighty nation, you are guaranteed at least one common experience: An exciting, eye-opening time participating in an interplay of the past and the present that is unique in the modern world.

Students typically gravitate toward the two biggest, and aforementioned, cities of Moscow and Saint Petersburg because of the fascinating history and concentration of educational institutions. Top-notch universities include the Moscow State University and the Saint-Petersburg State University, though there are innumerable others from which to choose.

In the end, of course, it all comes down to what kind of experience you’d like to have, and the choice of whether to attend an urban or rural school is much the same as it is in America. But the benefit of studying abroad in Russia is clear: You will be attending school in one of the most complicated, beautiful, important countries in the world, and as a result, your understanding of the world and the ways in which it works will prepare you for a future in which anything is possible.

Education System

Although Russia provides free education for all its citizens as guaranteed by their Constitution, admittance into a post-secondary higher education institutions is extremely competitive. Because the Russian governmental sector is responsible for regulating the educational system there is a strong emphasis on earning degrees in technological and scientific fields of study. Students wishing to major in these fields should have advanced competency in their chosen subject areas as well as excellent grades in order to be accepted into a Russian university.

In addition to allocating funding for student tuition fees, Russia also pays overseas students a small stipend and provides free housing for them as well. The country has also eliminated a lot of red tape that used to prevent or delay foreign students from attending a Russian university. Now that the application system is more streamlined, students who have attended American, German, Danish, Chinese, Italian and Japanese universities will experience minimal to no issues in regards to transferring to a Russian university.

Russia is currently in the process of switching its traditional higher education degree model to one that is much more compatible with Western-type academic degrees. In 2003, Russia signed the Bologna Declaration which paved the way for the government to enact a law that removed its old, five-year degree model to one that resembles the U.S. degree system–the four-year bachelor degree followed by a master’s degree. However, the postdoctorate degree still retains the traditional, Soviet Union pattern that was established nearly 90 years ago. Basically, PhDs in Russia are defined and earned according to the depth of a student’s personal achievements in scientific research (doktornauk, or doctor of science) or academic research.
