ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Standard documents are required, 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. 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 one of the Russian preparatory or Foundation options.

 

Russian Preparatory Program

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


LIVING CONDITIONS IN RUSSIA

Because Russia has a vast geography, air and rail transport have been the most preferred means of intercity travel. Across Russia, the road, rail, air and metro networks are quite well developed, and it is possible to travel easily from one end of the country to the other. For urban transport, public transportation such as trams, buses, trolleybuses and minibuses is used. In Russia, which has one of the best railway systems in the world, trams, the metro and similar vehicles are among the most comfortable options for getting around. As with almost everything in Russia, transportation costs are also quite low. Students can easily get around with a monthly pass costing 30 Lira. A single-ride ticket costs around 1 Lira.

Accommodation – In planning education abroad, organizing accommodation is very important.

The accommodation solutions offered to students who wish to study abroad are generally as follows.

ACCOMMODATION AND STUDENT DORMITORIES

SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

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

YÖK Equivalence of Russian Universities

YÖK (the Council of Higher Education of Türkiye) determined the conditions for equivalence of foreign degrees in 2019. Students who wish to continue their education abroad must meet the specified equivalence conditions. The same conditions also apply to Russian universities with YÖK equivalence. What you need to know about the conditions for equivalence of foreign degrees is as follows:

  • Universities attended without meeting the ÖSYM exam participation requirements in Türkiye must be among the 1000 universities recognized by YÖK.
  • If the university to be attended is not among the top 1000, participation in the ÖSYM exams is mandatory. In this regard, it is known that a ranking determined by department must be achieved. A student who takes the university entrance exam in Türkiye must rank among the top 150 thousand in the field of law. In addition, they must be within the top 240 thousand in engineering and within the top 40 thousand in medicine. Another thing to know about Russian universities with YÖK equivalence is that, in the other fields listed in the ÖSYM Guide, students must obtain at least the score obtained by the last student placed in the corresponding program in Türkiye.
  • If the chosen university is not in 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: ACT: minimum 21 points, SAT 1: minimum 1000 points, Abitur minimum 4 points, International Baccalaureate (IB): minimum 28, French Baccalaureate: 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.
