Russia's higher education level is world-famous, and there are many world-leading science and technology and education projects, and Russia's consumption is not high. Let me tell you about the application process for studying in Russia.

I. Application Process for Studying in Russia (1) Passport Application

China citizens apply for private ordinary passports. The exit-entry administration departments of the municipal and county public security bureaus handle ordinary passports for personal reasons. The treatment process mainly includes the following seven steps:

Line up to take pictures

Fill in the application approval form

Queue wheel number

Submit application form, ID card, photo and photo receipt.

Submit id card

bear the cost

get a receipt

Note: Passport carries ID card and household registration book. You can get the application form directly and fill it in the entry-exit registration hall, and then take a photo of your passport (this one was taken in the registration hall). It's best to go to a passport without makeup, jewelry and dark jacket. Passports below 18 need to be accompanied by parents, and those above 18 can bring their own relevant certificates.

(2) Applying for a school

The threshold of Russian universities is relatively low, and you can basically apply to universities with better rankings in Russia through exams or university graduation.

Before choosing a school, you can consult as much information as possible about Russian universities to find out their professional classification, curriculum, faculty, tuition fees and whether there are preparatory courses. Then choose several suitable universities according to their own needs, obtain further professional enrollment information and application forms from their official website or letter school enrollment management departments, fill in the application forms, and submit the required passport color printing.

In general, the basic information to be submitted is as follows:

(1) A scanned copy of the first page or the whole passport.

② Double-sided scanned ID card.

(3) A scanned copy of my account page.

Note: Individual schools need to submit scanned copies of graduation certificates and transcripts, and some art colleges need to submit portfolios.

(3) Waiting for the invitation letter

The invitation letter is also called China's admission notice. Waiting for an invitation is a long waiting period, which usually takes 45 working days.

Invitations from Russian universities are generally divided into two parts, one is white and the other is yellow. The yellow invitation letter is issued by the Russian Immigration Bureau, which is equivalent to a letter sent by the Russian Immigration Bureau to the Russian Consulate in China. This is an important document that allows students to apply for a study visa. The white one is the invitation letter from the school, which can also be understood as the admission notice. It is issued by the school, with students and their passport numbers on it.

Now many yellow books have been changed into electronic versions, which are more convenient and faster than before.

(4) Physical examination for studying abroad

Physical examination is an essential part of studying abroad and can be completed while waiting for the invitation letter. Mainly need to prepare the following four kinds of inspection:

① Routine inspection. Mainly height, weight, vision, heart and lungs.

② Special vaccination.

③ AIDS examination. This check is very simple. You just need to take a sample and test it. You usually get the results the next day. But the validity period is only three months, so we need to grasp the time.

(4) Check the symptoms of infectious diseases and drug abuse.

(5) Notary double authentication

"Double authentication" means that China university students' diplomas, degree certificates, transcripts (high school students: diplomas, test transcripts) and other materials are notarized in Chinese and Russian by a notary office at or above the municipal level in China, and then the notarial certificate is brought to embassies and consulates in China, Russia for consular authentication. In this way, students' diplomas, degree certificates, transcripts and other materials have been certified by both China and Russia.

Students can apply for bilingual notarization of graduation certificates, degree certificates, transcripts and other materials in China according to the requirements of the notary office. What documents are needed for specific notarization, and the cost is slightly different. According to the requirements of different cities, you can consult the local notary office in detail.

After obtaining the notarial certificate, students need to go to embassies and consulates in China for consular certification. Due to the requirements of notary offices in different cities and Russian embassies and consulates, the processing fees and waiting time are slightly different. Generally speaking, it takes an average of one month for students to handle it themselves. Please consult the local authorities for details.

(6) Apply for a visa

Apply for a visa after receiving the invitation. The materials required for the visa mainly include:

1. Private general protection

2. Two bareheaded photos (3).5X4.5cm meets passport requirements);

3. Health certificate: the applicant's health certificate of going abroad for medical examination and international vaccination certificate, as well as AIDS inspection report;

4. The invitation letter for studying abroad issued by the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs (original), without the original;

5. Application form for entry visa to study in Russia;

6. A copy of the front and back of the ID card.

Special attention: before the visa, pay attention to the visa location of the invitation letter, whether it is Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou or Shenyang Russian Embassy in China.

(7) Booking air tickets

Although it is cheaper to book international air tickets earlier, it is generally not recommended to book them too early. The departure date of the reservation is preferably between the effective date of the invitation letter or visa and the departure date. Do not book tickets before the effective date of the visa.

Considering that the plane may be late, students try to choose flights that arrive in the morning and noon. It is suggested to avoid air tickets landing on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, because Russian universities don't work on weekends, and landing on weekends means that students can't stay in dormitories and have to bear additional hotel expenses.

In addition, because different airlines have different requirements for baggage weight restrictions, students need to know in advance on the official website to avoid unnecessary troubles when boarding.

Finally, be sure to get to the airport early and leave enough time to check in.

Second, the advantages of studying abroad 1, the teaching quality of Russian universities is first-class, and many universities rank first in the world, but at present, the enrollment threshold of Russian universities is relatively low, so studying in Russia can enjoy high-quality university education.

2. The cost of studying in Russia is low. In addition to Moscow and St. Petersburg, other Russian city universities need 40,000-60,000 (tuition+living expenses) every year; The cost of living in Moscow and St. Petersburg, Russia's second largest city, is slightly higher than other cities, but compared with countries such as Britain, the United States and Australia, Russia's teaching quality and the cost of studying abroad are very cost-effective choices!

You don't need a language foundation to study in Russia. You only need to apply to the selected university to study Russian for one year, and you can enter the selected major in the second year;

4. The graduation rate of China students in Russian universities is very high, usually above 95%, which is much higher than that of China students in western countries;

5. With the rapid development of Russia-China relations and the development of the key strategy of "One Belt, One Road" advocated by the state, there is a shortage of Russian talents in China, and students studying in Russia have good employment prospects and high wages;

6. China and People's Republic of China (PRC) signed the Agreement between the Government of and the Government of the Russian Federation on Mutual Recognition of Degrees and Degree Certificates. As long as students get their diplomas, they will enjoy the same treatment as the university diplomas recognized by the domestic countries and enjoy the preferential policies for all international students after returning home.
