Preparatory Faculty

The university provides the opportunity to take a pre-university Russian language program for those Chinese applicants who do not speak Russian.

The major study areas of the program are:

• Engineering
• Economics
• Humanities
• Natural Sciences
• Medicine and Biology

Classes can be conducted both offline and online (6-10 months).

On applicants’ request, individual or group Russian language courses are available.

Like Chinese, Russian is considered one of the most difficult languages to study. Grammar, spelling, punctuation, declensions, moods, and a great number of exceptions – all of this inevitably becomes confusing for foreign nationals. However, taking a pre-university program at TulSU in small groups in the extremely international and friendly environment relieves primary stress, as a rule. Moreover, the program places emphasis on the development and consolidation of phonetic and communication skills.

NB! After Chinese students complete the pre-university Russian language program and are enrolled in the first year at TulSU, they get the opportunity to find employment while studying.

Tula State University regularly organizes and holds:

• Summer and winter schools on various areas of knowledge (in Russian and English)
• International Summer School on the Russian Language, History and Culture
• Summer school on project management, startups and entrepreneurship (in Russian and English)
• Programs of student exchange with partner universities in the “International Semester” format

Adaptation

Moving to a new country to study for a long time is always stressful. TulSU specialists hold a broad range of activities to make the process of adaptation and integration into the university community as easy as possible:

• Meeting at the airport and transfer to the university
• Assistance in finding accommodation and solving any everyday problems
• Psychological support helping students not to feel lonely in the large multicultural environment
• Maintaining a healthy psychological climate in student groups
• Working with foreign compatriot associations
• Assistance in undergoing a medical examination and receiving medical treatment

The university holds numerous conferences, exhibitions, festivals, forums dedicated to colorful national holidays, interaction between various cultures and creativity uniting the peoples of the world.

Such an eventful extracurricular program greatly facilitates foreign nationals’ adaptation to the study and living environment in Russia and helps unleash their scientific and creative potential.

Special emphasis is placed on international students’ adaptation to life in the city of Tula. As one of the oldest Russian cities, Tula is rich in various architectural monuments. Today Tula is called "the third museum capital of Russia." It boasts a lot of historical and cultural sights as well as creative spaces. It is Tula that gave great writer Leo Tolstoy to the whole world.
