For many foreign citizens, studying at Russian universities is an excellent opportunity to get a specialty. Most of the foreigners choose the capital of Russia to study, as best universities countries are located in Moscow. In the article, we consider the priority institutions for foreigners in Moscow.
Education for foreigners in Russia
Recently, the flow of migrants to Russia continues to grow, in connection with which the government of the Russian Federation provides for the availability of education, including for foreign citizens. Migrants have the right to enter schools, colleges, universities on the same basis as Russian citizens. There are also educational institutions that position themselves as an institution for teaching foreigners (for example, RUDN University). At the same time, language training courses are organized for foreign applicants, quotas for education are provided, as well as grants and scholarships are allocated. Citizens of the CIS are especially welcomed in our country in accordance with the signed international agreements. The best students, on the basis of a quota, are entitled to receive free education in Russia.
Preparation for admission of a foreigner to a Russian university
If a foreign citizen is thinking about entering one of the Russian universities, then first of all he will have to choose a training program and educational institution. After that, the algorithm of actions will be as follows:
- In accordance with the requirements of the university, it is necessary to find out your capabilities, that is, whether a foreigner can apply for budget place whether an agreement on cooperation in the field of education has been concluded between his country and the Russian Federation, etc.
- After that, you will need to start collecting the necessary documents, some of which will need to be properly certified;
- Submit an application to the university;
- Pass the competition;
- Wait for the results of enrollment and, in case of a positive decision, move to Russia.
Foreign citizens to enter Russian university much more difficult than for Russians, therefore, in case of problems, foreigners can contact admission committee university, or to employees of embassies or consulates of the Russian Federation in their country.
Priority Universities for Foreigners in Moscow
According to the current legislation, a foreigner has the right to choose any university for admission, the main thing is that he has the appropriate license. If we turn to statistics, then every fourth foreigner who in Russia receives higher education- studies and lives in Moscow. Already over time, it has developed so that foreigners single out certain universities in Moscow for themselves. This is due to the fact that they offer more loyal conditions for admission for foreigners. In addition, such universities may provide training modules in a foreign language - their native language. Also, universities that rely on foreigners create conditions for them not only for studying, but also for living.
The following universities enjoy a priority position for foreign citizens in Moscow:
- RUDN ( Russian University Friendship of Peoples) is the leader among universities in terms of the number of foreign citizens;
- Moscow State University (Moscow State University them. Lomonosov);
- MGMU (Moscow State medical University) them. Sechenov;
- State Institute of the Russian Language. Pushkin;
- MISiS is a national research technological university.
For foreign citizens in Russia, the most interesting programs for studying are medicine, economics and management, as well as the humanities.
Admission to Moscow universities by citizens of the CIS countries
Up to 80% of foreigners entering Russian universities are citizens former USSR. This is due to linguistic proximity, as well as the state policy that is being pursued in relation to these countries in the field of education.
For citizens arriving from Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, absolutely the same rights are provided upon admission as for Russian citizens. In other words, if they successfully pass the entrance exams, they can count on studying at a Russian university in state-funded places. Such rights are granted to foreigners in accordance with an international agreement on the granting of rights to citizens of countries that are parties to the Treaty on Deepening Integration in the Economic and Humanitarian Fields.
On the basis of an agreement in the field of education signed in Tashkent on May 15, 1992, education in the Russian Federation is regulated for citizens of the following countries: Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan.
The cost of education in universities of the Russian Federation for foreign citizens
As a rule, education at universities for foreign citizens is provided on paid basis. The cost of education will depend on the university, as well as on the chosen program of study. For example, get medical education will cost more than training, for example, to become an economist. The range of prices for a bachelor's degree is from 2100 to 2400 dollars, for a master's degree from 2700 to 3000 dollars. This price is average for Russia, in Moscow the cost of education is higher. If a foreigner does not have such funds, then to save money, you can consider student exchange programs, grants, and scholarship programs.
Free education for international students
A foreigner can receive higher education in Russia free of charge only if he enters a state-funded place. For foreigners, education is provided free of charge in the following cases:
- when applying for a quota (every year the government allocates a quota of 15,000 places in the Russian Federation);
- with a victory at the Olympics, which was held abroad by Russia;
- when concluding an agreement between countries in the field of education (for example, with Belarus);
- with participation in the program of resettlement of compatriots.
Based on this, we can conclude that it is possible for a foreigner to receive education in Russia for free, the main thing is to fall into one of the listed categories.
Where do international students live in Moscow
Universities of Moscow for their foreign students provide for the possibility of living in hostels. For students, this is much cheaper than renting a separate room or apartment. In addition, other foreign students are accommodated in adjacent rooms, which makes it easier to adapt to a new environment and a new country. It should also be taken into account that the modern hostel is significantly different from those “dormitories” that our citizens were used to in Soviet and post-Soviet times. Today, the hostel is clean and modern housing, students are in comfortable conditions there.
Benefits of studying foreign citizens in Moscow
Education at the university of the capital is prestigious not only for Russian citizens, but also for foreigners. To date, Moscow institutes have a good material, technical, informational and scientific base. Universities work the best teachers, the infrastructure is well developed for students.
