To a foreign university after grade 11?

Every school graduate faces two problems: what specialty to choose and where to go to study. Most remain in their hometown, some leave it, but only a few go abroad. This article is for those who are not afraid of change and are sure that studying in another country is an opportunity that should not be missed!

Russian school education is designed for 11 years. On the one hand, this can be called an advantage, because schoolchildren leave school a year earlier than their European peers. On the other hand, it can prevent you from going to a dream university: for example, the UK.Most British universities do not accept Russian certificates, and for admission you must receive an A-level or Scottish Highers diploma. This period usually takes 2 years, during which the student studies about 4 subjects necessary for their specialty.

In this article we will tell you about the countries in which you can study at the end of grade 11. Of course, the list of these countries is much larger, but we limited ourselves to the most interesting, in our opinion, options.

Austria

When choosing a place of study, many students prefer European universities: it is believed that studying in Europe is prestigious. But it is no secret to anyone that education in Europe is very expensive, and the annual tuition fees can often turn out to be unaffordable. In Austria, the cost of studying at different universities varies from 380 to 800 dollars per year. At the same time, the quality of education is fully consistent with European standards.

Of the advantages of studying at Austrian universities, the following should be noted:

1. You do not need to pass entrance examinations for admission

2. No prior knowledge of languages ​​is required

3. You can enter the university on the basis of grade 11

USA

The following country simply could not be left outto our list.Surely everyone has heard of such universities as Harvard, Princeton, Stanford;and every student at least once in his life thought about applying to one of these universities.After all, everyone knows that the education system in the United States is one of the most developed in the world.At the same time, you can enter American universities immediately after grade 11.

A prerequisite for admission to an American university is TOEFL or IELTS exams.Therefore, it is very important for the applicant to objectively assess their knowledge of the English language.The school year starts here in August or September.The application must be submitted six months before the start of the training.In addition to the TOEFL / IELTS test results, you need to prepare a certified copy of the certificate, a motivation letter and a recommendation from the teacher.

South Korea

With the growing interest in Asia in Russia, the interest in getting an Asian education has also increased

- for example, in South Korea.The advantages of studying here are the relatively low cost of education, high scholarships and the opportunity to enroll after grade 11.

International students may receive a study grant from the Korean government. This grant provides an opportunity to study in South Korea for 5 years under an undergraduate program. The program also includes 1 year of study at a language school. In addition, the state pays out scholarships of about $ 800-900 (for Seoul), medical insurance and air travel. More information can be found on the official website.

Also, Russian schoolchildren can go directly to the university. Many universities offer various types of scholarships, which can be found on the website of the university itself, or at www.studyinkorea.go.kr/ru. The approximate cost of training is $ 2400 - $ 3500 per semester. Good academic performance, knowledge of English / Korean, as well as passing the entrance test are important. The application must be submitted six months before the start of the training.

China

Not surprisingly, in recent years, the popularity of Chinese education has grown at an impressive pace, as has the Chinese economy. The education received in this country is highly valued in the world market, and the cost of education in the Middle Kingdom is much lower than in European countries.

You can enter the university of China for an undergraduate program immediately after grade 11, but for this you need to have an HSK level 4 certificate (a test that determines the level of language proficiency). However, in some universities in China, knowledge of the Chinese language is not required, since the training is conducted in English. As in South Korea, foreign students for the first year can study in language courses at the university, and then continue their studies under the undergraduate program.

Foreign students can also receive study grants. Detailed information on grants is presented on the website.

Czech Republic

Some countries formally allow Russian schoolchildren to enroll immediately after finishing 11th grade, subject to a number of formalities.Such a system works, for example, in the Czech Republic, which has become very popular for graduates of Russian schools.

If you want to enter a Czech university right after leaving school, you will have to work hard. The fact is that the school curricula of Russian and Czech education are far from identical. Czech schoolchildren, unlike Russian ones, study for 13 years. Therefore, Russian graduates will need to nostrify their certificate (to confirm that 11-year Russian education corresponds to 13-year Czech). To pass nostrification, a student will need to pass subjects in the Czech language: mathematics, English, physics, geography, biology or chemistry. Also, the student will need a certificate confirming knowledge of the Czech language (at least B2 level). Only after these procedures, the student has the right to apply to any university in the Czech Republic.

Education at public universities in the Czech Republic is free, and if you want to enroll in a private university, the price in them is still much lower than inother European countries. Tuition fees start at $ 1,600 per year.
