Belarusian Universities and Institutes

Belarusian education does not lag behind the European one - it is prestigious and of high quality, and most importantly, it is cheap. Therefore, today we will talk about Belarusian universities.

How to enter a university in Belarus?

Citizens of Belarus should pass the Centralized Testing (CT) in 2 or 3 subjects of the school curriculum, as well as entrance exams if necessary.

Foreign nationals should take an internal interview at the university in Russian so that the admissions committee can determine the level of preparation for the educational process. Those foreign applicants who have attended preparatory courses at the university take final tests on the subjects and receive certificates. Foreign applicants present their certificates to the University Admissions Office.

Passage points

University passing scores are always available for the last year, i.e. until July-August 2020 you can only see passing scores for 2019 and previous years. This is because the recruitment plan and the scores of applicants for examinations determine the minimum score.

For example, the recruitment plan for the specialty of 10 people, and applications were submitted by 11 people. For 10 people, the total number of points is 250, while 11 people have 252 points. An entrant with 252 points passes for the specialty, and this will be the minimum passing score in 2020 for the specialty.
