The preparatory course is a subject-specific preparatory course, which is meant to prepare international students for a degree program within one year. It helps to ensure that they can complete their future studies successfully and without delay. As the language of instruction at USTU is Russian only, so the main goal of the course is to teach international students speak, read, write and understand the Russian language. Apart from the intensive course of Russian, they learn other subjects such as Mathematics, Physics and Informatics. More informations about the academic training volume is in the table below.
The academic year of trainings in the preparatory course for international students starts on 1st September and ends on 31st August. The students are trained in one direction - technical.

Academic program:
At the end of an academic year students pass graduation exams and get the Certificate with their results which can be used for finding a bachelor or master degree at USTU. If a student fails final exams, only the letter of results will be issued.
NOTE! Being admitted to a preparatory course does not mean you have been admitted to any degree program at Ukhta State Technical University. After passing the final assessment test, you must reapply.
We offer Russian language courses at following levels:
Basic Level
Successful performance in the Basic Level test indicates an initial communicative competence which enables you to satisfy your basic communicative needs in a limited number of situations in everyday and sociocultural areas of communication. To put it easier, you can yourself make purchases in a shop, use the local public transport, discuss the weather with people around, exchange some stock phrases with colleagues and teachers etc.
Official requirements: skills and competences you should have at the basic level in Russian as foreign language:
The minimum vocabulary should reach 1300 items.
However, the basic competence in Russian as a foreign language is not enough to study at the Russian educational institutions, except for preparatory faculties (programs or courses) for foreigners where future students receive a one-year special language training.
Level 1
Successful performance in the First Level test indicates an intermediate level of communicative competence, which enables you to satisfy your main communicative needs in everyday, sociocultural, educational and professional areas of communication. In other words, you feel more confident in the country where the foreign language is spoken in most routine situations and can come up with a significant number of problems and tasks you encounter in the everyday life. It corresponds to the state standard in Russian as a foreign language.
Official requirements: Level 1:
The minimum vocabulary should reach 2300 items already.
The first level of competence in Russian as a foreign language is enough to enter Russian education institutions, in particular higher education institutions, i.e. universities, institutes and academies. As a rule, this level is achieved by students who have completed the preparatory programs (faculties or courses) for foreigners after one-year special language training.
Level 2
Successful performance in the Second Level test indicates a relatively high level of communicative competence, which enables you to satisfy your main communicative needs in all areas of communication and pursue professional activities in the Russian language in the related subject areas: humanitarian sciences (except for philology), engineering, natural sciences etc.
Official requirements: Level 2:
The vocabulary minimum should reach 10 000 items.
The second level of competence in Russian as a foreign language is a prerequisite for receiving bachelor's or master's degrees at the Russian higher education institutions (except for bachelor's or master's degree in philology).
