      @wantwotwee  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I would definitely recommend you to take a Business and Management programme from the Higher School of Economics in Moscow. The quality of instruction in the Moscow campus is top tier and the students are very driven and motivated, so you can get important connections if you are seriously looking into this field. I took up some business modules from HSE Moscow in a cross-campus programme and I was really impressed with the standards there.
      I can't say much about the business programmes in other universities as I do not have experience, but generally I would recommend the top universities for an assured quality education. I.e. Lomonosov, HSE..

      @@00MMohsinsaleem the information is all on the Open Doors website. For the choice of universities, you can check the list of participating universities. If a university caught your eye, you can Google and do some research if they have a Maths department, and look at the ranking. Ranking is a huge way to know if the quality of education is good. Also check if the education is in English, Russian, or mixed. You may need to send the university an email.
      Regarding the preparation, the list of subject to be tested will also be on the website. There should be some research papers that they will be testing about. Hope this helps, and good luck!

    1. I would like to apply for another subject in my bachelors. So what should I study for the test, which subject do I want to pursue a bachelor's degree in or what have I previously studied?
    2. Will the syllabus available on Open Door site be enough or do I have to prepare something separately?
    3. Should the motivation letter be handwritten or typed in PDF form or will it have to be written manually at the time of applying?
    4. To study in Russia, have to fill the application form by going to the direct open door site and have to give all these tests, so what is the use of all these things in the embassy before applying the form?

      @wantwotwee  หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@Cellebproducts 1. I don’t quite understand this question. What do you mean by apply for another subject? If you apply for Maths, the test will of course be about Maths. So, you should prepare for Maths questions.
      2. The questions that I answered for the test were all from the syllabus and papers posted on the website. So I would say, it should be sufficient.
      3. It’s part of the first phase, during my time, hence we just had to upload our letter and submit them
      4. By winning the competition, you get an invitation letter from the specific university that you will need to give to the embassy for them to grant you the visa. To get a student visa, you need an invitation letter from the university first. So this competition gives you the invitation letter, on top of the scholarship

    Thank you so much for making the video I watched your video, and I found it very helpful. But, I am stuck in the first stage. I haven't done my university selection partly because I have decided on my programme and course. I also searched for universities, but on university portals, there is no mention of the medium of instruction; I chose biology and biotechnology. I emailed different universities, but they have not responded yet. The time is limited, and I am stuck in this situation. Please guide me related to this I am very depressed and confused now about what should I do. Because the medium of instruction is very important. I want to do my master's programme in English.

      @@MemoonaShafique-c9d
      I can suggest trying to contact the “international admissions” office of the university you are applying to. They usually have an English speaking representative, and this person can help you find out from the subject department if the program is in English. If emailing is taking too long, you can try calling them instead.
      If you’re really desperate, there might be some professional companies in your country that may provide assistance regarding education programs in Russia. But I think that these companies will also try to contact the universities via these methods too.
