Fees and costs

Education in Russia guarantees competitive positions on the international labour market and gives the chance to remain in the country to be engaged in research and scientific activities or to find job.

We prepared the overview of the main expense items for you to be prepared for a trip and to plan the budget correct.

Application and education fees

For the full support service in getting admission to the university to study under contracts for paid educational services (paid education under a contract), a service fee is collected. The amount of the service fee is determined by the existing visa regime with the country of the applicant, and a competition for admission to a particular university. For visa-free countries, the service fee is from 15,000 rubles to 30,000 rubles, for visa countries, it is from 25,000 rubles to 40,000 rubles. This amount is paid through a personal account on Russia.Study as part of the application for education under the contract. The operator also reserves the right to provide discounts.

Education in Russia costs by 5-7 times cheaper, than in Europe and the USA: the cost varies from $500 to $6 000 per year.

Residence cost

The average budget of the Russian student on accommodation constitutes 35 000 rubles per month (about $600). Of course, the budget will depend on the place of residence and manner of life.

Health insurance

Every foreign student in Russia must have health insurance. It is better to receive health insurance before arrival to the country to be secure from troubles. The cost of an insurance constitutes from 6000 rubles to 20000 rubles depending on a set of services and the cost of a covering (approximately from $90 to $310).
