What You Can Study in Belarus

Belarus doesn't rank every degree by international demand in one official table, so we group programs by where demand actually clusters — medicine, IT, and engineering lead, followed by business, economics, and a handful of specialist fields. Ask your consultant which specific seats are open right now.

Language of Instruction

English or Russian? Here's What It Means for You

Most Belarusian universities teach in Russian. Some — mainly in Medicine, IT, and Engineering — offer full English-medium degrees. If your target program is Russian-medium and you don't speak Russian yet, you don't apply directly: you start with a one-year Foundation Programme first.

Route A — English-Medium Degree

  1. Finish school (e.g. in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana)
  2. Apply directly to an English-taught program (e.g. General Medicine, English)
  3. Start the degree — 6 years for Medicine
  4. Study Russian alongside the degree for daily life and, in Medicine, clinical communication

Route B — Russian-Medium Degree

  1. Finish school with little or no Russian
  2. Complete a 1-year Foundation Programme: intensive Russian plus subject preparation
  3. Move into Year 1 of the Russian-medium degree
  4. Continue through the full program length (e.g. Medicine Years 2–6)
Don't speak Russian yet?

Start With Our 1-Year University Foundation Programme

A Foundation Programme (also called a Preparatory Faculty, Preparatory Department, or Pre-University Programme) is roughly one academic year of intensive Russian plus subjects related to the degree you're heading into — so you arrive in Year 1 ready, not behind.
