Foreign students have equal rights with Russian citizens and study together with Russian students. At the same time they must comply with the immigration rules and FESTU internal rules.

Foreign students live in the dormitories at FESTU campus.

Foreign students must learn Russian language. Each student must have a special "Russian as a foreign language" (TORFL) state certificate of the first level (for undergraduates) and of the second level (for postgraduates). Russian language proficiency will help you in your future professional carrier. Over 260 million people speak Russian all over the world today! It is the most widely spoken language in Europe and the 8th in the world in the number of speakers.

Since 2016, foreigners are required to have a voluntary medical insurance (VMI). VMI must be issued on the first day of stay in the country, regardless of the purpose of entering the territory of the Russian Federation.

Over the years, Russian education (including that obtained at FENU) has become more accessible for foreigners and adapted to various ethnic groups, since studies are being carried out on the specifics of the national psychological characteristics of various people. These studies helped FESTU to create appropriate educational conditions for foreign students.
