Russia & CIS Admissions
Studying in Russia & CIS: Admissions Guides for International Students
How to choose a university and programme in Russia and key CIS countries, apply directly, secure a student visa, and plan your timeline — with all volatile details deferred to official sources.
Russia and the key CIS destinations — Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Armenia — each have their own universities and admission rules, and you apply directly to each institution. These guides walk through choosing a programme, the official Russian government portals (studyinrussia.ru for information and education-in-russia.com for the Russian Government Scholarship), the application process, the invitation and student-visa steps, and a typical September-intake timeline. Fees, deadlines and visa procedures are set by each university and government and change each cycle, so always verify the current details on the official source before you act.
