The Russian Center for Science and Culture “Russian House” in Belgrade presented the program of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation and the Federal Agency Rossotrudnichestvo on the admission of foreign citizens to education in institutions of higher education in the Russian Federation, at the expense of the federal budget.

Students have the opportunity to continue their education in the I, II, and III cycles of studies at more than 600 state universities across Russia.

Thousands of educational programs cover all educational fields, including natural and mathematical sciences, medicine, agriculture, veterinary, engineering sciences, technology, social and human sciences, arts and culture, sports, etc.

It is interesting to emphasize the possibility of changing the educational direction in the next cycle of studies to create a unique range of knowledge and competencies.

Knowledge of the Russian language is not a requirement for obtaining a scholarship.
