To everyone planning to study at our University, I would like to say that we are very happy to welcome international students! Herzen University offers unique opportunities to explore a wide range of curricula. We understand that it is never easy to move to another country and adapt to a new environment, learning a new language and integrating into a new culture. Therefore, we treat international students with care and strive to ensure that they feel safe and comfortable in the university walls.
