Posted in Marina Y. Lavrikova

Dear Official;
I have done several attempts to get answers to my questions via email and telephone but i cannot get any response from you.

My application reference is : SPbU ref. No. 01/1-43-Y-9210

I have sent multiple emails to: rlci@spbu.ru.

Can you be kind enough to answer the questions below or direct it to someone who can as i URGENTLY need answers to arrange my coming. I would also appreciate a telephone preperably a whatsapp number.

Thank you
---------------------

module A1.1

As I see on your site
https://russian4foreigners.spbu.ru/en/education/rki/general-course.html
the total programme is
A1 — 3 modules
A2 — 3 modules
B1 — 4 modules
B2 — 4 modules
C1 — 4 modules
C2 — 1 modules (?)
-------
Total: 19 modules x 43.000 (rubles) = 817.000 rubles (76 weeks)

In your email you mention a fee of 516.000 rubles for one year equivalent to 12 modules, 48 weeks.

My first question is how many (and which modules) i should complete to get a proficiency level to continue physiotheraphy education at your university.

Second question is if i can pay for each modules seperately as i continue. Since the programme is modular that should be allowed.

Third question is the cost of boarding and food for my duration of stay for a single room at your campus.

Fourth question is regarding to the admissions of physiotheraphy programme. Do i need to take any additional tests for admissions or is admissions to physiotheraphy programme automatic after completing a proficiency level of russian via your “russian teaching programme”?

5- What are the starting dates for the pysiotheraphy programme for each semenster and can i enroll as a freshman to the study at any semester?

6- What is the current cost completing the 2 year physiotheraphy programme?

7- Is there any medical insurance programme for students?

8- For a Turkish national, what are the visa procedures? Should i get a student visa in Istanbul, can these visas be renewed when i am in russia?

9- The costs you refer in your email is far higher than the costs i was previously advised and came as a suprising shock. Is there any means through which i can obtain some kind of discount, waiver etc?
