Russia has signed over 100 international agreements on recognition and equivalency of qualifications, academic titles and degrees. Graduating from a Russian university is a guaranteed way not only to acquire expert knowledge, but also to secure employment opportunities across the world. That is why more and more foreign students choose to come to Russia to get their degree.
Regarding the overall number of foreign students across all in-class programs, the RUDN University has lately been the unfailing leader (over 8,000 students from abroad), then comes the Saint Petersburg State University (5,200 students), and, finally, the Peter the Great St.Petersburg Polytechnic University (upward of 4,500 students).
