About us

Preparatory Department for foreign students is part of Ural Federal University. Currently, it brings together over 400 international students from different parts of the World, giving them ample opportunities to learn Russian language and adapt themselves to Russian culture.

Our Russian language training programs focus on fostering communicative competence through developing the basic language skills: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. The key objective of Russian language training is to enable each student to speak fluently on various topics and in various situations. Students get fully immersed into the Russian-speaking environment and learn the language in situational context. Our Russian language training programs are part of a bigger framework of Russian studies: students also learn about life, people, traditions, and culture in Russia.

Our goal is to help you to improve your Russian proficiency and raise the benchmark of your current language level to new heights. On top of that, students planning to continue their education at Ural Federal University get an opportunity to take courses related to their future major in Russian language.
