中文 Good Morning,
I found this contact on the website: Sant Petesburgo State University
I have some questions. Maybe you could help me, I would like to know if you have some program for learning Russian, just for 10 month or 1 year period. If it’s possible, please let me know all the details. I’m really interested in it. I need it to improve my work skills and of course for life.
My name is Claudia Telles. I’m 22 years old. Im cuban. And I need to learn the Russian language. I’m on my 3rd year of my degree in tourism. But I’m also working as a travel agent. I’ve already decided that I just want to work with Russian people and for a Russians travel agency, that’s why I need to learn the language the most perfect as I can.
Kind Regards, I’ll wait for an answer
The answer of Natalia G. Boyko, Academic affairs directorate:
Thank you for your interest in additional educational programs of St. Petersburg State University.
In answer to your inquiry from 29.11.2024 I inform you that at St. Petersburg State University, for those wishing to study Russian, a number of additional educational programs has been developed and is being implemented, differing in the level of complexity and duration of study.
The most popular additional educational program among foreign students is the program «Russian as a Foreign Language. General Course». The program has a modular structure and is used for foreign citizens with any level of Russian proficiency, including those who have not previously studied Russian. The minimum period of study on the program «Russian as a Foreign Language. General Course» is 4 weeks, the maximum is 76 weeks.
In 2024-2025 academic year, the cost of study for 1 module (4 weeks) is RUB 43,000, for 1 year it is RUB 516,000. Payment has to be made at once for the entire period of study. There is no scholarship or financial assistance for students to participate in this course.
To enroll in the additional educational program, you need to pass an entrance test, based on the results of which you will be assigned to a group suitable for you.
Please note that full-time training under the additional educational program can be taken by foreign students who have a study visa issued on the basis of an invitation from an educational institution. To enroll in program and issue an invitation, you need to fill in an application form on the SPbSU portal.
