A written consent of the applicant’s parents (guardians, legal representatives) for studying abroad within the framework of academic mobility, for a period of more than two months (Download Consent Form).
Bring all the documents (signed and completed application, a copy of the transcript, letters of recommendation, written parental consent) to the Department of International Cooperation in the Hours of Applications Reception and get a Receipt for admission to the competition of the international academic mobility. Wait for further instructions of a coordinator.

It is necessary to check the requirements of the host university (for this you need to look the information about the partner universities).
The contest is held a few months before the start of the semester. If you want to study in the fall semester of the new academic year, you should start preparing in the spring, in March. For studies in the spring semester, we advise to prepare from September. This cushion of time is necessary in order to adapt to the requirements of the partner universities.
Competitive selection is carried out in 2 stages:
The coordinator shall set the date and venue of the English test (if you have an IELTS / TOEFL certificate, attach it to the application, and then you will not have to take the test).
After testing coordinator organizes an interview with the contest committee, where a final decision will be made.

Participation in academic mobility program always involves incurring certain financial costs, despite the fact that education is free of charge.
That’s why you need to fully estimate your financial state before applying for this program. The partner-universities may offer tuition free education but a student will pay for flights, accommodation, food and other necessities himself/herself. Approximate expenses are indicated in the information pages of every partner-university.
In the foreign university you will receive a transcript stating the disciplines, number of credits and the final mark of the exam. After the end of the semester you bring the transcript to your Higher School, where the differences of disciplines will be considered and they will determine which items will be awarded and which you will learn on an individual basis (paid as unattended discipline).

You choose the disciplines yourself, in some universities the list of disciplines will be available only 1 month before the start of training. To select a discipline in a partner university, you must agree in advance a study program with the Higher School, and if there will be a difference, you make up and approve an individual study plan together with the Higher School and the Office of the Registrar.

We invite 2 and 3 year students to take part in the academic mobility program.
