Russian language and pre-university training

The pre-university Russian language program is designed for international applicants who do not speak Russian.

The program is delivered in five study areas:

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

Mode of study: offline/online

Duration: 6-10 months

You can study Russian individually or in groups.

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 becomes really confusing for foreign nationals. However, taking a pre-university program at TulSU in small groups in an 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.

After international students complete the pre-university Russian language program and are enrolled in the first year at TulSU, they get the opportunity to get legally employed while studying.

• Summer and winter schools in Russian and English
• International Summer School on the Russian Language, History and Culture
• English-Language Summer School for Young Researchers “Dive into Science!”
