Do I need to have my CIS university diploma validated to be accepted into postgraduate programmes in Russia?

Please remember that the preparation of documents is a serious and important procedure; your enrollment in a Russian school greatly depends on it. Carelessly drawn documents can become a major impediment to your university study even if you’ve passed the tests. For detailed information please contact representatives of the Russian university where you are planning to study (the contact information of each university is published on its official website). Employees of international student relations departments will inform you whether or not you need to undergo a diploma recognition procedure and how exactly you can do it.
