About the project

Every summer since 2009 the Department of International Projects and Programs of the Far Eastern State Transport University holds International Summer School for foreign citizens.

Optionally, special 2 or 3 weeks courses can be arranged for groups of 8-10 students.

Goals and objectives: As the majority of the seminar participants are potential students of FESTU, the program of the seminar is directed to language adaptation of newly-arrived foreign students, development of their communication skills, increasing the efficiency of the educational process as well as the adaptation of foreign students to new forms of organization of learning process and new conditions of socio-cultural environment.

The program of the Summer School includes various tours and excursions: orientation excursions within the frameworks of learning course (bank, shopping, pharmacy, airport, railway station, etc.); city tour, attending museums and sightseeing.

After completion of the learning course all students take final testing in the Testing Center of FESTU. Those who express their wish can take a testing for State Certification Test which is obligatory for studying in the Russian Federation. The cost of the program does not cover the cost of the Test of Russian Language as a Foreign.

At the end of the course at the Summer School those students who have passed final testing successfully obtain a Certificate of completion. Distinguished students are awarded with special certificates.

NOTE: Students of philological universities can be given an academic transcript for record at their universities.
