Students are allowed, your school can make a case for you, and you will get your visa.

I see.

But I haven't heard of anyone that got in through that process. Last year's set is yet to leave for Russia.

Good evening everyone.
I am planning to apply for a postgraduate program in Russia, and there are a few grey areas that I will please need clarifications on.
First, the schools are insisting I upload my transcripts on my personal page, and from my experience with transcripts, it is sent directly to the school not individuals
Is there a way around this ?
Second, they are also insisting I "legalise" and notarize my certificate and transcripts, translated to russian
Please
For those who have passed through this phase, how do I go about it?
Must I go to Abuja for this ?
Or can someone do it in my behalf
Thank you

ifex370:


Yeah. Is it possible our schools make a case for us?

Which school be that?

YungLasaint:


Which school be that?

In.nopolis university

Please go ahead.
You don't need to send your transcripts to Russia.
The legalisation and notorization is the most vital part before leaving for Russia.
It's done in abuja.
It's a 3 step process, and I would advice you go yourself. Although someone can do it for you if you swear an affidavit for authorization but that's a long story.

Go to your school, there is a way that you can get your transcript on code

If I may ask why would any Nigerian travel to Russia to school or live? You need to answer those questions properly before embarking on that journey. If the main reason is to school, work and make money then it’s not worth the investment in the long run. I speak from experience cos I schooled briefly in Russia for one year and had to return back to Nigeria.

The racial, cultural, language etc pale into insignificance if you can’t make money. For the average Nigerian it’s all about the money potential at the end of the day that matters.

Btw if I may ask, why did you quit your program ?
And was it an undergraduate program? (I'm betting it is)
I feel that at the end of the day, it's all boils down to what people want
Some schools in the russian federation will give you quality education that can kick start your career in a decent manner in many parts of the world...
So for one seeking a bargain for quality education, I think n russia is a good fit
However, I know Nigerians very well...
Just like you said
For a good number of Nigerians, it is all about where can I go to pack money.
They dont even care about the education or even what they are learning, or the cultural and international experience while studying....
Its all about where can I go and pack money and build village house or drive expensive car when I get back to naija
In the first place many of our people are even using the study route as a decoy to jaapa and hustle, then abandoning the program (its happening in some of these European countries already)
So for people like that it's in their best interest to steer clear from Russia.

That's just my opinion anyways

If I may ask have you been to Russia before?
I studied the Russian language for one year in oreperation for my PHD. I speak the language fluently. I have no issues with the country and the challenges that prospective students or immigrants face. If you have a good sponsor paying your fees or you have money saved up to study then you are good.
But if your intention is to use schooling as a spring board for a better life in Russia, na men it’s not worth it in the long run. A lot of Africans from Zambia, Angola even some from Nigeria etc school in Russia on scholarship. Schooling in Russia without good financial backup from home or your personal savings is a no no.

We are saying the same thing brother
I'm currently working on getting post graduate admissions in one of the best schools in the country
I'm a language enthusiast who already speak three international languages
I want to use one stone to kill many birds at once
Learn the language, gain good experience, good education, all that

And the best thing is that I do not have people looking up to me to send money and all that (a situation many Nigerian young men face, and put then under undue pressure)
So it's a good fit for me
But its not for everyone sha
If your circumstance is such that you are from a disadvantaged home, you managed to dig your way out and many others are looking up to you
It's understandable that this journey is not for such person

Okay....

My dear brother, it seems from your previous post you are just making attempts at posgraduate admission in a Russian school, i wish you well. But i think it would have been better to ask for guidiance from someone that is schooling or has schooled previously in Russia.

This is a public forum and thousands of people gain valuable information for direction as to how to proceed in any endevour be it schooling in a foriegn contry, Busness, Politics etc, so its emperative to share useful information.

I like to address a few lines in your previous posts ........... ( I want to use one stone to kill many birds at once
Learn the language, gain good experience, good education, all that

Learn RUSKI? ( the language), Gain good experience? Good education? i like to ask at what cost?

I presume your program will be taught in Russian language? meaning in the first year you would be learning the language. in the second year to the third year you would commence the post graduate program, ( masters 2 yrs) ( PHD 3 to 4 yrs) so plus minus your total cost for a masters program plus language for 3 yrs will eclipse $20,000 ( tution, boarding.books, living expenses, Flight etc) thats almost N10,000,000 Ten Million Naira, could be a little less could be a little more. am not bordering to calculate for PHD.

Gain good experience, of course travlling bestows various experiences, but the final analysis will determine if your experience gained will categorise as a good experience in Russia.

Good Education? that is relative, has it ever occured to you that despite the abysmal educational standard in Nigeria, Nigerians will travel abroad and be tops in their various schools/classes globally, why is that so? could it be the worst educational standard in Nigeria might be better than we actually give it credit for? Nigerians are solid in undergraduate programs, postgraduate programs in the whole of Europe and the Americas. we top the class!

Caviet- Their is nothing wrong in schooling in Russia if you have the funds, or you have good sponsors cos you cant raise money by doing odd jobs, its just a waste of time.

Most Nigerians travel to school and look for other oppurtunities to better themselves and their immidiate family, if you were to school in latvia, Estonia. Lituania, Finland etc, at least they are in the Euro Zone, when you are off from school you would do a part time job to pay for your living expenses, and still help back home.

Bros that Money you want to waste in Russia chanel it to admission pursuant in any of the eastern europen contries in EU. will be better for you.



And the best thing is that I do not have people looking up to me to send money and all that (a situation many Nigerian young men face, and put then under undue pressure)
So it's a good fit for me
But its not for everyone sha
If your circumstance is such that you are from a disadvantaged home, you managed to dig your way out and many others are looking up to you
It's understandable that this journey is not for such person


You DONT have people looking up to you? - are you from Nigeria?

If your circumstance is such that you are from a disadvantaged home, you managed to dig your way out and many others are looking up to you

And how can you even make a statement like the above?

Honestly i didnt want to reply again self, when i read your post a second time i got upset.

Russia is ok for study if you can afford it, good sponsor, scholarship, but you might get frustrated if you think you can work to support yourself, pay bills and help back home.

In Europe and America students work part time to support themselves through school. But Russia get as e be. He that has ears let him hear.

Lastly bros if you need help with admision in Russian schools i can connect you with the President of Nigerian students in Russia, thats the best way to get admitted, they simply call up the school speak with them in Russian language and help you secure your admission, its faster and more succesful that way, they cut off a lot of protocol.

Another example, if a friend mine needs admission in the school i attended in Russia, i cut off the burocracy and call up the the DECAN ( Dean of interntional student) they were our teachers they will say email me the result, thats it. thats the fastest way to go, they operate easily if u speak the language and was once a student.

I hope people can learn a lesson from my post, notice i didnt talk about racism,cold etc those are non issues. i Just forcused on what most Nigerians care about which is OPPURTUNITY!

SHALLOM

thanks for your response

And yes, I'm from nigeria
The realities for the majority is not the reality for myself cos our experiences are different
I was fortunate to have parents who put things in place for my younger ones and themselves
So I dont have to scratch my head taking care of them

So you see, I have some elbow room for an experiment like this

Just so you know
The statement above was made in a general sense, not making specific reference to you
The reason why I made this statement is because I have seen men from such unfortunate background YOLO their life savings and family money to Dubai
And the pressure began to mount
It's not a good place to be psychologically

And you are right........ from that perspective
However, I disagree with your notion that investment in russian education is a waste, especially if you are going to a top tier school there

But like I said
People in Nigeria largely use study routes as a decoy to jaapa, and go hustle out there to send money back
A perspective you have validated from your posts

The issue of having limited opportunities in Russia is true to some extent. However, sponsoring yourself through school in any part of the developed world is a very difficult task.As a student,how person wan take pay £15k for UK with 20hrs work per week?If u don't have enough home support choose Moscow you will definitely survive here.Ofcourse,even in Moscow you may not be able to carry the financial burden of everybody in your family as a student,its not ur fault because a student in the 'almighty' USA and Canada can not carry the financial burden of his/her family.

Thank you very much for your comment
Moscow is where I chose
Hopefully the application checks out and I move to the next base
That said
What you just wrote about britain and the likes is precisely what I was thinking when I chose russia.
A critical assessment of my situation showed that i can see my program through without having to do much work in moscow
Compared to Britain
£15k pounds will see my program In moscow fringe beginning to end
Though I dont have it, was just making mention of your example.
In life
One has to be practical
And thank God once again
That I dont have to carry burden
It's just me
However I'll like to ask a quick question
I'm assuming that $3600 can take me for a year in living expenses in Moscow (this is independent of school fees anyways)
If you dont think so
How much will one rather estimate

Go for it and may God enable you, but it will be instructive to other would be students if you can share your school fees, boarding and other associated expenses for the duration of your intended program. ( convert it to naira also if u dont mind)

And also do you intend returning home to Nigeria after your sturdies? because their are no much prospect in Russia after that.

In my opinion future prospect matters when you intend spending 8 to 15 million naira in pusuit of a foreing degree, the visa expires when your program comes to an end, overstaying visa is a no no, could lead to fines, arrest and deportation. relocating to other EU countries from Russia is very difficult almost impossible.

So if its just to sturdy in Russia, pay your fees and every other associated expenses, graduate and return to Nigeria then you are good to go.

I intend sharing my experience as time goes on
Right now I am still hoping to get the admission
The school will get back to me next week or the week after on their decision
Hopefully I gain the admission
I'll definitely share my experience

Oga whats the future prospect of spending 8 t0 15 million naira sturding in Russia? schooling abroad is not all about helping people back home, but whats the plan after school? do most intend to returning back to Nigeria?

If he intends coming back home then thats okay, because their are not much prospect as such remaining in Moscva after school.

I speak plainly so every one intreasted in the subject matter can comprehend and make informed decision.

In my previous posts i spoke about education in Latvia, Estonia. Lituania, Finland and around EU contries in eastern Europe, the energy, time and money spent running around Russian schools could be spent in countries with better future prospects, to me na common sense.

I live currently in the states, students over here can school, work and do other things, its all about a better prospect for the Future.
