General Information

The Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia (RUDN) was founded in Moscow on 5 February 1960 and meets all standards with the quality of its education. As of 2021, the school ranks 317th in the QS World University Rankings. Thanks to the rights granted by YÖK to universities ranked in the world’s top 400, recognition of its degrees and the possibility of transfer are available in Türkiye.

More than 34,000 students currently study at the school, of whom approximately 10,000 are international students. On the school campus and in the surrounding streets, there are nearly 20 blocks of student dormitories, at most 2 metro stops away from the school.

After completing one year of preparatory study, students will begin their department studies if they pass the exam held at the end of it. In particular, the quota for English-language education in the Faculty of Medicine is limited. For this reason, we recommend that students who wish to study Medicine concentrate on the decision and research stage and apply to us for pre-registration as soon as possible.

The aim at RUDN University is to train highly qualified, educated professionals who can work successfully in different parts of the world. The multi-level education system offers the ‘Bachelor’s’ – ‘Master’s’ – ‘PhD’ structure or a credit system, a European Diploma Supplement in 5 languages, and academic exchange opportunities with other universities around the world.

Intensive study in foreign languages also offers a great opportunity to obtain interpreting qualifications (generally in 2-3 foreign languages). Together with additional education programs (more than 750 options), the opportunity for a second university diploma is offered. In addition, the Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia offers language programs for foreign citizens within its own structure. Participation in the language programs does not require any diploma or prerequisite.

RUDN University rose to 317th place in the QS World University Rankings in 2022.

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.


LIVING CONDITIONS IN RUSSIA

Because Russia has a vast geography, air and rail are the most preferred means of intercity travel. Road, rail, air and metro networks are well developed across Russia, and it is easy to travel from one end of the country to the other. Public transport such as trams, buses, trolleybuses and minibuses is used within cities. In Russia, which has one of the best railway systems in the world, trams, the metro and similar vehicles are among the most comfortable transport options. As with almost everything in Russia, transport costs are quite low. Students can travel comfortably with a monthly pass costing 30 Lira. A one-way ticket costs approximately 1 Lira.

ACCOMMODATION INFORMATION

Accommodation – Organizing accommodation is very important when planning education abroad. Taking our students’ needs, preferences and sensitivities in this respect into account, we provide solutions in coordination with our partner schools. The accommodation solutions offered to students who wish to study abroad are generally as follows.

ACCOMMODATION AND STUDENT DORMITORIES

Dormitory facilities are available on the university campus. Students can also rent an apartment or a room at affordable prices close to the university.

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.
