The selection campaign for the 2025-2026 academic year for foreign citizens wishing to study in Russia at the expense of budgetary funds of the Russian Federation has started. Registration on the portal of the information will last until January 15, 2025, and all those wishing to apply must have time to submit their applications by the deadline established.
To participate in the selection tests, candidates need to register on the specified website and fill in the questionnaire. Those who plan to attend graduate school should submit not only the questionnaire, but also a list of published research papers and/or a motivation letter. This letter should include information about education, university, specialty, and achievements in scientific activity. This will help the committee to assess the level of preparation and motivation of the candidates.
The completed application form should be transferred to the status «for verification» within the established deadlines, as applications in the status of «draft» will not be considered. Candidates can also provide information about their individual achievements, which will be taken into account during the selection process: participation in internships, conferences and other scientific events.
If candidates have any questions or difficulties with registration, they can contact the technical support via their personal account on the website or the Rossotrudnichestvo representative office in their country for advice.
Faryal Dehkan, a postgraduate student of the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade of SPbPU, is studying under the Rossotrudnichestvo quota. Here is what she said about her enrollment at Polytechnic University: This is an important step in my life, and like many other students, I had mixed feelings of joy and anxiety. My first days on Polytechnic University’s campus were filled with curiosity about new subjects, professors and teaching methods. Students here feel part of a large and diverse group, which inspires us to learn and grow.
International students are given a unique opportunity to receive a high-level education in Russia, as well as to become part of an international university community.
