The year 2023 in the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States has been declared the Year of the Russian language as the language of interethnic communication. And our university has innovations in working with foreign applicants.

"Digital Preparatory Faculty" is an information and educational breakthrough in the field of modern methods of education of the preparatory faculty for foreign citizens of BSTU named after V.G. Shukhov.

 The teachers of the Department of Russian Language and Intercultural Communication worked on its creation under the guidance of the head - Elena Lyogochkina. “In a dynamically changing reality, it is necessary to make decisions and create new products in the shortest possible time. The PFI team coped with the task - we organized online courses in Russian as a foreign language (levels A0 - B1), history, social science, mathematics, physics, computer science, chemistry and biology, ”says Elena Nikolaevna.

The courses are hosted on the educational platform. And now potential students have the opportunity, regardless of their country of residence, to learn Russian and prepare for admission to Russian universities.

The work of the digital PF covers all areas of the student's educational activities: – creating the necessary language environment in the form of regular meetings with teachers in Teams in order to control and help in studying the subject; - socio-cultural adaptation in a new educational environment for the student (a course about Russia) and information and coordination activities from the moment of enrollment to entering the university; — installation of the necessary software on the listener's computer and provision of ongoing technical support.
