Should I study in Russia with a scholarship as a foreigner? Is it worth it?
Hello guys, hope you're having a good day.
I'd like to know if it's a good idea to study in Russia.
For context, I'm from south America and I'm a native Spanish speaker and I also know English C1. And I've seen there are scholarships open every year in my country for Russia.
And well, as far as I know studying in Russia as a foreigner goes like this (correct if I'm wrong, please):
\- apply for the scholarship, get the documentation done, go to Russia, study Russian for a year to be able to communicate and prepare for exams, do the entrance exam for universities, and wait to be accepted.
Personally, I think it'd be a good opportunity for me to travel, learn and develop autonomy. Right now, I'm going to university in my homeland and studying Information Systems Engineering.
My plan was to apply for said scholarship around 2029, and study abroad...
Oh, another question I have is about the degree stuff, because I saw there was a bachelor degree and some ***specialized*** degree (?), is it worth studying that specialized one if I'm planning on applying for jobs outside Russia?
So... Do you recommend it? Is it worth it?
What's it like there? Is the education system as "mighty" as people say?
***PD***: I apologize if I sound rude (I didn't mean to)... I'm genuinely curious about what path to take and there aren't places or people I can ask about this. So, please, guys, if you can give me some answers and advice, I'd be really grateful. Have a good day/night. Hasta luego.
