Russian language courses for students

Center for International Educational Programs (CIEP) at the NSU Institute for the Humanities teaches the Russian language to students from all over the world. Since 1989, we have been helping foreigners  to plunge into the world of the Russian language and to understand Russian culture. We train students of all ages, nationalities, and points of view.

Who teaches?

Our teaching staff includes teachers with many years of experience, as well as young professionals. Together they develop an individual program for each group. Training is conducted using texts and media materials from our specialized library.
