Freemovers

Students from partner universities who didn’t get no-charge spots as well as students from non-partner institutions are welcome to apply for the International semester at our university but they do not get a tuition fee waiver and should pay for the studies.

Tuition fee:

Bachelor Program:   ₽80000

Master Program:      ₽100000

We do not accept payment by bank transactions; therefore the whole sum is to be paid on arrival to St. Petersburg in a local bank.

Freemovers are provided with the accommodation in the university’s dormitories together with exchange students. The prices for housing can be found in the Dormitory section.

Important information:

  • Transcripts of records for autumn (winter) semester are usually issued in the end of February and transcripts for spring (summer) semester – in the end of July.  Therefore the students of the last year of studies should make sure that this does not interfere with any planned graduation and consider their participation in the exchange program carefully.
