Money Matters

The tuition fee at Russian universities varies from RUB 123,500 to 715,000 (USD 1,900-11,000) per year depending on the region, university, and discipline. 

A student in Russia needs USD 300 to 400 per month on average or USD 3,000 to 4,000 per academic year (September to June).

It’s better to start with a further USD 300 to 400 for extra expenses like medical insurance, living arrangements in an apartment or dormitory (buying dishes, bed linen, detergents etc.), and to purchase books.



The price of rented student accommodation in Russia varies from 500 to 35,000 roubles (USD 8-583) per month depending on the region, type and location of the lodging (dormitory, rented room, or apartment).
