Russia is currently one of the most preferred countries for students to pursue higher education. Russia is becoming more and more famous in various fields including education, research, sports, travel, architecture. The world's largest country, made up of thousands of cities, has many world-renowned scientists, researchers, physicians, artists, sculptors, painters, lawyers, writers, actors and philosophers. Who serve as a constant inspiration to the students studying in various fields of the universities here.

The students who come to study here are not only getting advanced education; Rather, they have the country's thousand-year-old history, tradition and culture, which also develops their human aspects.

Free Tuition:

The cost of studying in Russian universities is many times more affordable than in countries like the United States, United Kingdom and Canada. In addition, if we look at the quality of education, we can see that Russian universities are now well ahead of any other university in the West.

Russia is one of the few countries in the world that offers free tuition for foreign students. Every year thousands of quota-based scholarships are awarded to foreign students by the Russian government. After independence, there was an agreement of 'friendship and cooperation' between Bangladesh and Russia. According to the agreement, Bangladeshi students will have the opportunity to study in Russia for Honors, Masters and PhD.

Tuition Fee:

Tuition fees can range from about 2,000 to 3,000 dollar. Apart from some courses like medicine and engineering, it can be from 2,500 to 4,000 dollar. If you have 50% marks in SSC and HSC, it is a bit easier to get the offer letter of the university. University application fee is 100 dollar. It may apply to some universities, but not to most universities. It usually takes very few universities to apply for IELTS, but most universities do not. Because most of the universities offer courses in Russian medium. So one year Russian language course has to be done under the university.

The cost of education in Russia is lower than in other countries. Tuition fees are even lower outside the capital, Moscow. In addition, there are hostel facilities for foreign students. It will cost 300 to 2,500 dollars a year.

Application Deadline and Process:

Applications can be made twice a year at Russian universities. The Russian academic year begins in September. The academic year is divided into two semesters. The first in September and the second in February. There are holidays in the semester break. At this time, students also have the opportunity to work part-time.

All you need is:

Scanned copies of all academic certificates

Motivation letter

IELTS Certificate (if desired)

Other required documents

Part-time Job and Citizenship:

While studying at a Russian university, students can only work in the summer session without permission. In addition, students have to obtain permission from the Federal Migration to work for the rest of the year. That is a very difficult matter. Apart from this, there is an opportunity to get citizenship at the end of education. After finishing their studies, anyone can take the opportunity to stay in Russia permanently if they want. However, the Russian government has several conditions for that. Students have to meet these conditions quite strictly.
