All educational programs offered by our center, can be realized in English and Russian. In order to study in Russian, it is necessary for students to pass a special course of preparation. Duration of the course is 8-10 months. Students study the Russian language and also improve their knowledge in other subjects. The Preuniversity courses lay the strong foundation of educational basis for further training at the basic specialty.
Students study such subjects as mathematics, physics, geography, biology, chemistry, history of Russia and history of world civilizations, etc.

During the education students live in a hostel located near to educational buildings. The Preuniversity courses are intended for adaptation of foreign students to conditions of life in Russia. Within this academic year various competitions and festivals are arranged for them. There students can open their talents, find new friends, learn more about culture of other people, countries.
After graduation of Preuniversity faculty students pass final examinations. Under condition of successful results they receive the certificate on graduation of Preuniversity courses.
