ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Standard documents such as the application form, a photocopy of your passport, a notarized Russian translation of your passport, and the diplomas and transcripts of your previous education are required. If the department you are applying to is taught in English, you must document your language proficiency. If you will study in Russian, you must either prove your language proficiency or choose either the Russian preparatory program or the Foundation option.

Russian Preparatory Program

Students who wish to study in a department taught in Russian can apply to the school without language proficiency. Depending on your Russian language level, you can enroll in the preparatory program. At the end of the nine-month preparatory program, they can obtain their language certificates and start their department.

SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Candidate students have two options for studying in Russia on a scholarship. The first is the scholarships granted by the Republic of Türkiye. Students can obtain detailed information about this from provincial and district national education directorates.

YÖK Recognition of Russian Universities

YÖK (the Turkish Council of Higher Education) set the conditions for recognition of studies abroad in 2019. Students who wish to continue their education abroad must meet the established equivalency conditions. The same conditions apply to Russian universities with YÖK recognition. What you need to know about the conditions for recognition of studies abroad is as follows:

• For universities that can be attended without meeting the conditions for taking the ÖSYM (Student Selection and Placement Center) exams in Türkiye, the university must be among the 1000 universities recognized by YÖK.
• If the university to be attended is not ranked within the top 1000, taking the ÖSYM exams is mandatory. In this regard, it is known that placing within a ranking determined for each department is required. A student who takes the university entrance exam in Türkiye must rank within the top 150,000 for law. In addition, they must rank within the top 240,000 for engineering and within the top 40,000 for medicine. Another thing to know about Russian universities with YÖK recognition is that, in the other fields listed in the ÖSYM Guide, students must obtain at least the score of the last student placed in the corresponding program in Türkiye.
• If the chosen university is not within the top 1000 and the student has not obtained the required score, the student must meet the conditions set by YÖK. In this context, the requirements are as follows: ACT: minimum 21 points, SAT 1: minimum 1000 points, Abitur: minimum 4 points, International Baccalaureate (IB): minimum 28, French Baccalauréat: diploma score of at least 12, Austrian Matura Diploma: minimum 2, GCE A Level Certificate: minimum 2 subjects, Italian Maturità: diploma score of at least 70.
