Russia as an education hub
Russia not only offers guaranteed high-quality education but also a centuries-old history intertwined with a rich culture. Therefore, studying in Russia offers a fantastic opportunity to study your desired programs while also being introduced to Russia's cultural heritage, which has given the world many famous artists, sculptors, writers, and actors, not to mention outstanding Russian athletes that perform successfully at competitions around the world. In addition, Russia has over 1,000 cities, including 15 with populations over 1 million. Each city has its own specifics and attractions, traditions, and sights — unusual architecture, historical and cultural monuments, unique nature preserves.

Studying in Russia is both prestigious and advantageous. You can be sure that you will acquire all the knowledge you need in your chosen subject. Russia has a lot of universities, so you have a wide choice. All you need do is to choose a program you like, prepare the documents required, come to Russia, and start studying. You can either study abroad on a commercial basis or for free with the support of the Russian Government, which allocates a certain number of state-funded places for international students at universities every year. Don't feel bad if you have failed to qualify for a scholarship; tuition fees at Russian universities are much lower than in other countries.
Deciding on your study abroad destination is quite a serious step. You have to connect with another culture, adapt to new conditions and climate, start learning Russian, and get to know local residents' character traits. Though Russians sometimes might seem gloomy and chilly, a majority are quite responsive and affable; they like to socialize and have visitors and are ready to give a helping hand. So, do not shrink from difficulties! Prepare all documents required for entry into Russia and your legal stay and training there.

Nepal-Russia Friendship Association was established in July 1956. In 1958, late King Mahendra paid a state visit to the Soviet Union, which helped solidify the two countries' diplomatic relations. Soon in 1959, Economic and Technical Cooperation was signed between the two countries. Similarly, from the Soviet Union, President Marshal Voroshilov paid a state visit to Nepal in 1960. These efforts forged an era of profound scientific, technological, and industrial collaboration between the Soviet Union and Nepal.
Suppose languages aren't your forte, and you'd prefer to study in Russia in English. In that case, the good news is there are plenty of universities now offering English-taught courses, which are mainly found at the postgraduate level. But if you do study in English, how easy is it to get by in Russia with little to no knowledge of Russian? Nawar, an international student told us: "When I came here I couldn't speak Russian, and I didn't meet many people who spoke English, but people were very helpful, they tried to help me in every step in my first days, they are generous and very helpful," and Himanshu, from India, told us "After six months I knew the basics to communicate with people, like how to ask for directions, so for everyday life that's sufficient and many people do understand English now.
