Teaching is in Russian. Study formats, fees, entry requirements and availability depend on the programme and intake. The official admissions pages (in Russian) provide the detailed information.
Study formats: очная means full-time; очно-заочная is a mixed full-time/part-time format; заочная is correspondence or part-time study. The latter is not automatically an entirely online course. Confirm attendance, examinations and the arrangements for living in Russia before choosing a format.
Accreditation is programme-specific. Review the published programme disclosures (in Russian) for programme status and duration, and confirm your chosen route with admissions. Recognition of a qualification for further study or professional practice outside Russia depends on the destination country.
