Our curriculum for international students emphasizes social sciences as they already have an excellent foundation for further development. For example, for several years, the Philological Faculty has been offering English-speaking students from the University of Edinburgh (Scotland). It is essential and prestigious because many students from Edinburgh, while choosing between Moscow, Saint-Petersburg and Perm, finally opt in favor of Perm State Humanitarian-Pedagogical University to learn the Russian language, thus testifying to the high quality of Education in our University.
The language studies component is powerful at the University. This is precisely why we provide intensive Russian courses to foreign residents. The duration of the language course is one year.
