Academic year start 1 September 2018 and ends on 31 June 2019

Here is the information which can help you to understand the admissions procedures in TSU:

1. Admission for the September 2018 intake starts on November 01, 2017. Since this date we start to accept new applications, until July 10, 2018. The documents which every applicant must submit with his/her application are:
   • A scaned copy of his/her university or high school diploma/graduate certificate and transcript. As the program of study is going to be in English, then the documents can be either in English or Russian;
   • A copy of applicants passport in English or Russian;
   • Filled application form (it is sent after receiving education documents and passport);
2. After the documents are received by us from the applicant, we schedule the date of examination for students, the examination is held on 'Skype'. There are two compulsory examinations questions which all future students have to pass. The list of examinations questions is attached here. The examination is not severe and aims to evaluate the candidates basic knowledge of the subject and his possibility to grasp future education program (ability to understand the language and communicate with other people, as well as ability to understand the main subject of study).
3. After the exams future students should pay for the first semester of study in advance. When fees for the first semester are paid, we send an invitation letter to a student and then he/she can apply for russian student visa and come to Tomsk State University to start his/her studies.

That is the whole process of admissions. In fact its rather easy and it contains only one real challenge, which is - passing the exam. Nevertheless, the examinations are held in order to assess the applicants language level and basic knowledge of the main subject, thus its not severe
