Russia (Russian: Россия) is by far the largest country in the world, covering more than one-eighth of the Earth's inhabited land area. The former State Committee for Higher Education in Russia financed 240 universities, academies and institutes, making Russia a solid country to study in.

Anyone seeking to further their career prospects or enter into a degree program may find their chances greatly improved by undertaking a certificate program. These programs often require less time to complete when compared to a bachelor’s or master’s degree.

Part time learning allows one to obtain part-time degrees even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at his or own pace, gradually accumulating credits which count towards final qualification.
