State higher education in the Russian Federation comprises 522 higher education institutions, not including military institutions.
The non-state sector with more than 330 higher education institutions has evolved over recent years. There are also 24 preparatory departments available to foreign students.
The levels of studies are:
Level 1 lasts 2 years. Students study for a Bachelor’s or specialist intermediate diploma.
Level 2 marks the continuation of studies for an additional two years leading to a Bachelor’s degree.
Level 3 represents an educational level common to both the Master’s Diploma and the Specialist diploma.
The academic year lasts from September to June. There are two semesters.
The number of students who study free of charge (those who don’t pay for their education) is limited by the number of scholarships. All applicants are to present a school leaving certificate and a medical cerificate confirming their good state of health.

school leaving certificate – аттестат зрелости
medical certificate confirming their good state of health – справка о состоянии их здоровья
