Programs

The Russian education system is a multistage process that encourages lifelong learning. This system includes compulsory general education (kindergartens and schools) and professional education (colleges, technical schools, and universities). In turn, professional education is divided into secondary and higher education. Professional development and retraining programs are considered the final educational stage.

  • Russian language certificate

International students can take the state-recognized international Russian language proficiency exam, TRKI/TORFL (Test of Russian as a Foreign Language). Not all universities will require applicants to submit a TORFL certificate, but it may be considered a significant advantage. In addition, this certificate may come in handy when applying for a job in the future.

Levels of Russian language proficiency

The examination system is divided into six certified levels of Russian language proficiency. However, certificates are only offered to students who achieve a B1 or higher.

3.       B1 (TRKI-I / first certification level): with this level, you can enroll at a university or get a job that does not require lengthy negotiations.

4.   B2 (TRKI-II / second level): quite fluent; the applicant can understand native speakers speaking quickly, write in different styles, and maintain a conversation about both everyday and highly specialized topics. This level is given to foreign graduates after completing their bachelor’s and master’s programs.

5.   C1 (TRKI-III/Level III): the applicant is able to use the Russian language effectively in both domestic and professional spheres. With this certificate, a person can be hired for jobs requiring fluent Russian, such as a newspaper journalist.
