The answer of Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs Ekaterina Babelyuk: In order to assist foreign countries in the national staff training the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation allocates to the Ministries of Education of foreign governments state scholarships for admission of foreign citizens in the federal state educational institutions of higher education at the expense of allocations from the federal budget for bachelor’s, specialist’s, master’s, postgraduate (PhD) and additional professional education (training, continuing education) programmes.

Scholarship is possible only in case of enrollment on the basis of an intergovernmental agreement between the Russian Federation and Islamic Republic of Pakistan. In this case entrance examinations are not applicable and students are enrolled on basis of an official assignment to education in SPbU issued by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation. For this purpose it’s necessary for Ministry of Education and Science of Islamic Republic of Pakistan to send an official request to Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation regarding your enrollment in the postgraduate programme (PhD) to SPbU and also document package on the review of which the interdepartmental working group makes a decision about issuance of an official assignment to education.

Thus, for getting the state scholarship for training at postgraduate programmes at SPbU it is necessary for you to contact the Ministry of Education of your country (Islamic Republic of Pakistan).

For training on educational programs of postgraduate professional education (PhD programmes, internship, residency) the document of education, recognized in the Russian Federation as specialist’s (not less than 5 years) or master’s (at least 2 years of training after four years of the bachelor program) diploma must be submitted.

I would like to draw your attention to the fact that postgraduate (PhD) programmes at SPbU are instructed in Russian language. Foreign citizens not having the required level of the Russian language proficiency can attend 1 year Russian language preparatory course before applying to postgraduate programmes. Russian language course is instructed in the Institute of the Russian Language and Culture in SPbU. Additional information on studying in the Institute of the Russian Language and Culture can be found on the website.

Detailed information on application procedure for the state scholarship for training at postgraduate programmes in SPbU can be found on the website of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation on page «Russian education for foreign citizens».
