Many students asked me, Russia is so big, do not know which school to choose, the situation of each university is not understood, to know that the first priority of studying abroad is to choose a school and major that you like, then, let me introduce to you about the situation of each university.
First of all, Russia from ancient times to the present, yes, from the time of Tsarist Russia has been a great country attaching importance to education, in 988 AD orthodoxy introduced to Russia since the introduction of primary education has been formed, in 1755 the Russian Empress Catherine II ordered the approval of Lomonosov to establish Russia's first university - Moscow University, so that Russian education was fully integrated into the European system, until the Soviet period, the education system continued to improve, in the 1970s began to popularize ten-year compulsory education, Let Russia suddenly enter the forefront of the world with the highest level of national education. In addition, since the end of World War II, two comprehensive systems of vocational education and higher university education have been formed, and students can choose independently according to the purpose of study.
Its university research level has also been at the world's advanced level, and there have been 13 Nobel prize winners in the history of Moscow University alone. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, because the annual world university rankings have been controlled by the Western media, so it is not well known, the best world ranking status is Moscow University, which has been stable in the top 50-90 over the years. There are more than 700 universities, colleges and other educational institutions in Russia, and its higher education system also includes nearly 800 research institutes, experimental design studios and university-run business entities.
Russian institutions of higher learning can be roughly divided into eight categories by specialization:
1. Comprehensive universities: Comprehensive universities occupy a prominent position in the Russian education system. Russia emphasizes that such universities should be research centres for scientific research, teaching and pedagogy in the Russian higher education system, bases for the training of specialized personnel and teachers, centres for the dissemination of science, and call for a role in raising the overall level of higher education. Comprehensive universities have better material equipment, strong teaching staff, and relatively sufficient funds.
Moscow University is the oldest comprehensive university in Russia and one of the most famous universities in the world today, with a total of 17 departments, more than 300 teaching and research departments and various teaching institutes, research institutes, computing centers, museums, libraries, observatories, botanical gardens, various large laboratories and so on.
2. Higher Technical Colleges: Higher technical colleges are the largest number of institutions in Russia. It includes multidisciplinary engineering colleges and specialized colleges for single students. Many engineering colleges have more than 10,000 students, such as the Kalinin Institute of Technology in St. Petersburg and the Bauman Technical University in Moscow. In professional and technical colleges, most majors are only for a common authority. There are about 200 kinds of majors offered in technical colleges.
3. Higher agricultural colleges: Higher agricultural technical colleges and universities train senior agricultural technicians and experts. Majors include agronomy, veterinary medicine, agricultural machinery, agricultural economics, etc. Agricultural colleges offer more than 30 majors.
4. Normal Colleges: The main task of the Russian Normal College is to train teachers from secondary schools. At present, there are more than 20 majors. The main departments of the Teachers' College for Multidisciplinary Students are the Department of Historical Philosophy, the Department of Mathematical Physics, the Department of Physical Geography and the Department of Foreign Chinese. In the large teacher training colleges, in addition to the above departments, there are arts and crafts, music education and physical education. One of the more famous teachers' colleges is the Herzen Normal College in St. Petersburg. Moscow Foreign Chinese Academy, etc. There is also a type of engineer fan school, which specializes in training secondary school and technical teachers.
5. Medical schools: Medical schools include multidisciplinary medical schools and specialized medical schools (such as pediatric medical schools, pharmacy schools, etc.). The duration of study in medical schools is generally 7 years. And if foreign students want to study medicine, they need to read at least from undergraduate, and do not accept domestic medical books to study for a doctorate in Russia.
6. Liberal Arts Colleges (School of Economics and Law): Multidisciplinary economic colleges have many economic majors, such as the School of Management, the College of National Economy, etc. The specialized School of Economics only has a few related or professional majors, such as financial economics, engineering economics, commercial economics, etc.
7. Cultural and artistic academies: including the world-famous Repin Academy of Fine Arts in Petersburg, the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory, and the Glinka State Conservatory.
8. Sports colleges: Usually there are two main departments in sports colleges: namely the Department of Physical Education and the Department of Physical Education.
About schools: Next, I will pick some popular schools for a brief introduction, and then there will be a specific introduction to each school later.
Lomonosov Moscow State University
Lomonosov State University Moscow(московский государственный университет имени М.В.Ломоносова,ММГУ), abbreviated as "Moscow University", is the largest and oldest comprehensive higher education institution in the Russian federation, located in Moscow, the capital of Russia.
The school was founded in 1755 on the initiative of the educator M.B. Lomonosov. It is a university with a long history and excellent tradition, and is known worldwide for its strong teachers, perfect equipment, high teaching quality and high academic standards.
Many eminent scholars, eminent personalities and political leaders from all over the world have the qualifications of honorary professors and honorary degrees of Moscow University. These include: Goethe, Nehru, Margaret Thatcher, Bill Clinton, etc. Many of Russia's state leaders, such as Mikhail Gorbachev, Yevgeny Primakov, and Vladimir Zhirinovsky, are graduates of Moscow University, which highlights the school's mission: to provide the best education for the best.
The school's faculties are also very comprehensive, the Department of Mechanics and Mathematics, the Department of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics, the Department of Physics, the Department of Chemistry, the Department of Biology, the Department of Soil Science, the Department of Geology, the Department of Geography, the Department of History, the Department of Philosophy, the Department of Language and Literature, the Department of Economics, the Department of Law, the Department of Journalism, the Department of Psychology, the Department of Education, the Department of Sociology, the School of Asian and African Studies, the Department of World Politics, the Department of Medicine, etc.
Taking 2017-2018 as an example, undergraduate and graduate tuition fees are 3w-4.5w yuan a year (different departments have different fees, the difference range is 3-4kRMB), and the dormitory fee is about 10,000 yuan a year. In addition, the total cost of living in Moscow a year is between 7w-9w.
General majors, 4 years of undergraduate studies, 2 years of postgraduate studies, and 1 year or 1.5 years of preparatory studies if there is no foundation in Russian.
I think that whether it is from the world influence of the school itself or from the perspective of domestic recognition, it is a good choice, that is, the cost of living in the capital Moscow may be relatively high, but there are also more part-time opportunities, and the dialectical relationship between studying in large cities or small cities I have introduced in the journal of the study abroad profile, and I will not repeat it here.

Nikolay Rubinstein (1835-1881), founded on September 1, 1866. In the early days of its founding, Tchaikovsky taught here, and later in honor of Tchaikovsky, the Soviet government renamed it the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory.

The above is a small editor to choose some relatively cost-effective universities and made a simple introduction, but after all, it is difficult to adjust, everyone has everyone's ideas, and everyone should make a choice based on their own interest direction and the economic situation of their own families.
If there are other school intentions and problems related to the choice of professional direction, you can harass us directly by private message, and the senior is always online 24 hours a day.
Some students will ask, "Senior, I don't have any hobbies, I just want to be beneficial to my future work, so how should I choose?" In this case, the senior combined with the experience of previous graduates looking for a job to say a word of conscience, since the choice to study abroad do not want to learn only one language, now most of the companies to recruit, are want to understand both language and technical students. So if you really don't have too obvious interests in which department to go to, I recommend choosing some departments with strong professionalism, such as science and engineering (which of course requires you to have the determination to work hard, because science and engineering majors are very bitter and tired), if you want to read liberal arts, then choose a professional major such as law. These are our personal recommendations.
