Study in Russia
Explore study opportunities, programmes and universities across Russia.
Russia has a long-established higher-education system, with universities offering programmes across fields such as engineering, medicine, natural sciences, business and the arts. For Bangladeshi students, Russia offers study options at Bachelor's, Master's and PhD level in cities across the country.
Planning to study in Russia from Bangladesh usually begins with your academic background and goals. After reviewing your previous results, you can shortlist suitable universities and programmes, prepare your academic and personal documents, and follow each university's admission process. Students then need to receive the required admission or invitation documents from the university before preparing a student visa application. Our step-by-step guide on how to apply to study in Russia from Bangladesh explains each stage, and our guide to the Russian university invitation letter covers what that document is and how it works.
Programmes may be taught in English or in Russian. English-taught options are available only at selected universities and for selected programmes, so availability should be checked for each course. Russian-taught programmes may require preparatory language study before the degree begins. Learn more about English-medium programmes in Russia.
Programme language, admission requirements, tuition and intake availability vary by university and course, so students should confirm current details before applying. For general planning, see our guide to the cost of studying in Russia from Bangladesh, and compare options in our guides to the best universities in Russia for Bangladeshi students and the best Russian cities for Bangladeshi students.

Note: Examples only, taken from each university's official fee publication for international students (2026/27 unless stated). They are not a nationwide range: fees are set by each university and differ by programme, language of instruction and citizenship category, and are reviewed every year. Amounts are in Russian roubles and are not converted to BDT because exchange rates change. Confirm the current fee for your exact programme before applying. These figures represent university tuition, not Southern Trip Limited's service or study package price.
The official Study in Russia portal states that a foreign student needs on average RUB 24,300–32,400 per month to live in Russia. This is an indicative monthly figure for living expenses; tuition is charged separately. The portal also recommends having about RUB 56,700 extra at the start for medical insurance, setting up housing and textbooks.
Note: Indicative monthly living expenses for international students, excluding tuition. Actual costs vary by region, housing type, lifestyle and exchange rates. University dormitory fees are set by each university and should not be added automatically to this estimate, which may already cover housing. Please confirm current estimates with our counsellors before planning your budget.
