russiancourse

To be admitted to all our academic programmes taught in Russian the first and the most important thing is to know Russian language. You should be able to read, write and speak Russian well. Therefore, before proceeding to our academic degree programmes you should submit also a relevant certificate of your Russian language level or if you do not speak Russian you have to take any Russian language course and get a relevant certificate. It usually takes 1 academic year to learn Russian before sending any application for degree courses.

At our University we offer the Russian language course which gives you the possibility to study Russian as a foreign language, for 576 academic hours. This course is just to study Russian language (without any other disciplines) and it doesn’t assume the further automatic admission to our Bachelor or Master programmes.The classes are held 5 days a week.

There is only one intake a year for the offline course starting in October and ending in May-June. No other intakes and admission during a year. Applications for the course start annually in May and end in August. The detailed application steps are below.

At the end of the course you should pass an interview and a written examination in Russian that will enable you to have a relevant certificate. Those students, who don't attend the minimum 90% of our offline classes during the course, are not permitted to pass the final examination and are not issued the relevant Certificate that gives the possibility to apply further to any Russian degree programme of any University.

Priority to apply for our course is given to those applicants which next year, after completing the Russian language course, will apply for our University degree programmes (BSc courses or MSc courses).
