Testimonials

"I'll be back!"

If someone had told me two years ago, that I will ever live and study in Russia, I would have laughed. But look what happened. On 1st of February this year I arrived at the Finland Railway Station in St. Petersburg. Well, perhaps I came not as celebrated as the bald little man before me in 1917. Nevertheless, I was ready to study the spring term in Russia.

FAQ

Contact hours and study credits

What determines how many contact hours you have per week? I need to work on my Russian so I would like as much intensive studies as possible and would prefer a quick pace in general.

EUSP became the first in Russia to introduce the credit hour system. Normally one course weighs 8 ECTS (4 American credits). The minimum load for a student per week is 20. Three subject courses make 12 (4+4+4) plus the language gives 8. However, the standard tuition fee may cover up to 2 more subject courses (plus another 16 credits or 8 hours per week).
