Russian Education Fair
Annually high school graduates face the task of choosing their academic dreams. In recent years, Russia has emerged as one of the most popular destinations chosen by students in pursuit of high-quality education. Tasked with the motive to learn everything possible about education in Russia, we decided to have a face-to face conversation with Mrs. Inga Jeng, the CEO and one of the founding members of Education First LLC, an authorized agent representing Russian universities in Sri Lanka.
Why should students choose to study in Russia as opposed to other countries?
The educational sector is of paramount importance to the Russian government and its regular development and upgrading is top priority. Thousands of graduates from Russian universities have gone on to participate, in very significant ways, in the developments of various sectors of the economies of their respective countries. The prices in Russia, however, are just a fraction of the fees payable in western countries. You are promised high quality education at very affordable prices.
What fields of study are most popular amongst Sri Lankan students?
Most Sri Lankan students tend to choose the medical field more than any other fields. As a matter of fact, many practicing doctors in Sri Lanka today are Russian-trained. Other popular choices are engineering (airspace, civil, mechanical, electrical), law, information technology, tourism and management.
What are the mediums of instruction in Russian universities?
Due to the large number of international students in Russia, it has become common place for most universities to offer the most popular courses in multiple languages. For instance, General Medicine is offered in Russian, English or French.
How well do Sri Lankan students, academically, in the universities you work with?
I would say with pride that Sri Lankan students are among of our favorite students. They are generally very hardworking and dedicated to their studies. Their high success rates never come as a surprise to anyone.
What universities are most popular amongst Sri Lankan students?
I.M. Sechenov University is the oldest (founded in 1758), biggest and most prestigious medical institution of higher education in Russia. Every year, more and more Sri Lankan students come to study General Medicine in this university. Not only is the University reputed as the most advanced medical school in Russia that is highly positioned in most prestigious global university rankings, but it is also famous for the biggest number of medical students worldwide.
Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University is one of the oldest and leading universities in Russia. Pirogov University is well known as an institution that demands high academic requirements from students, which naturally leads to the production of superlative quality specialists. Our Sri Lankan students are very proud to receive medical education at Pirogov University.
RUDN University students can study not only General medicine, but also engineering, IT, law, economics, tourism etc. The University is also known for establishing the best Russian language programs for foreign students. Graduates of RUDN University are regarded as highly qualified specialists of their respective fields and constitute a significant percentage of academic elites of many countries.
MAI is Russia’s leading institute of higher education that serves to equip its students with thorough theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the field of aerospace engineering. The University recently became popular amongst Sri Lankan students because of the introduction of few English-medium programs, fully adapted to international students.
