Genetics in Russia

Russian universities are well-known for their excellent studies in areas like Physics, Engineering, Medicine, and Psychology. They are also affordable when compared to their Western counterparts; most programmes cost under 7,500 EUR per academic year. Local campuses and dormitories meet all the modern standards you’d expect, and Russian universities take pride in having state-of-the-art laboratories and research centres. Living costs are affordable, and you can apply for one of the 15,000 scholarships, which are offered every year by the Russian government. This shows the commitment and desire to attract top students and support them while living and studying in Russia.

Genetics degrees teach students topics related to heredity, from passing on the genetic information of the parents to the offspring, to the study of genetic diseases and disorders. By learning advanced Organic Chemistry, Biology and Physics, including classes on cell biology, genomics, bioinformatics and genetic modelling, students go on to develop effective drugs, sustainable agriculture and learn to identify and treat genetic diseases, such as cancer.
