The Preparatory Faculty

In December 1992 BSEU established a special Preparatory Faculty with the goal of preparing foreign students for studies at BSEU faculties.

During the past years the Preparatory Faculty has accumulated a wealth of experience in the teaching of Russian language to foreigners. This experience is reflected in the textbooks and course materials utilized in the classroom. Most of these materials were prepared by Russian teachers for foreigners. All our teachers are fully qualified and experienced in teaching Russian as a foreign language to provide the opportunity for foreign students to meet the University's entry requirements.

In class teaching methods are augmented by various audio-visual aids available to students of the Preparatory Faculty – these include a number of language labs with an extensive collection of audio tapes, and classrooms equipped with video systems for viewing educational and feature films. Special study rooms are equipped with computers and Russian training and controlling programmes.

The Department of Russian and Belarusian languages arranges also programmes of social activities including excursions to historical places in Belarus and visits to theatres and museums in Minsk.

Nowadays the Preparatory Faculty incorporates the following departments and laboratories.

• Department of Mathematics.
• Department of Economic Theory.
• Laboratory of New Teaching Methods.
• Laboratory of Technical Aids.
• Laboratory of Information Technologies in Education.

The cost of studies – 1295$ per year.

The Russian Language Course – 840 academic hours.
