Dhaka: Stamford University Bangladesh is set to organize its second free Russian language course, providing an opportunity for university students and members of the general public to learn the Russian language at no cost.
The two-month program is being organized in collaboration with the Center for Open Education of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation and St. Petersburg State University, one of Russia’s leading universities. Stamford University Bangladesh is serving as the partner institution in Bangladesh for the initiative.
The program is open not only to Stamford University students but also to students of other universities and interested members of the public who wish to acquire basic knowledge of the Russian language and develop an understanding of Russian culture and communication.
A major feature of the program is that participants will not be required to pay any course fees. Despite being free of charge, the course is designed to provide participants with structured, high-quality academic instruction based on the Russian language education program associated with St. Petersburg State University and the Russian Ministry of Education.
Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive a certificate. The certificate will provide formal recognition of their participation and achievement in the introductory Russian language program and may be a valuable supporting credential for students who subsequently seek educational opportunities and scholarships in Russia, subject to the requirements of individual scholarship programs and Russian universities.
The course is particularly significant for Bangladeshi students interested in pursuing higher education, research, academic exchange, or professional opportunities connected with Russia. Learning preliminary Russian can also help prospective students adapt more effectively to the academic and social environment of Russian universities.
The initiative reflects Stamford University Bangladesh's growing emphasis on international academic cooperation, foreign-language education, student development, and global engagement. The university has previously undertaken international academic initiatives with institutions and organizations abroad, and the successful organization of the Russian language course for a second time demonstrates the university's continued commitment to expanding opportunities for students beyond conventional classroom education.
The organizers expect the program to attract students from diverse academic backgrounds as well as professionals and other interested learners. By removing financial barriers, the initiative aims to make introductory Russian language education accessible to a wider section of society.
The Russian language course also creates an important bridge between Bangladesh and Russia in the field of education, offering Bangladeshi students an opportunity to gain exposure to Russian language and culture while strengthening people-to-people and academic connections between the two countries.
Stamford University Bangladesh has encouraged interested students and members of the public to take advantage of this opportunity to learn Russian through a structured academic program free of charge.
