The leader in recruiting foreign students is TSU, where 1.1 thousand residents of the near and far abroad have entered. In total, citizens of 93 countries of the world study in Tomsk following the results of the admissions campaign.

“The increase in the number of applications filed is due to the ease of filing applications. One can apply to any university while sitting at the computer. At the same time, there is a peculiarity - the Tomsk region is located in the sparsely populated Siberian region, we did not have outbreaks of COVID-19, everything was stable. All this played a role (in the perception of the Tomsk region) as an epidemically favorable region", - the head of the department said.

Closed borders

He clarified that currently 2.6 thousand foreigners live in the dormitories of Tomsk universities. Not all students who entered Tomsk were able to come to Tomsk yet - because of the COVID-19 epidemic, the borders with the republics of Central Asia are closed.

“We have many students from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan. They cannot now enter the Russian Federation, we are constantly in contact with the consulates and await a government decree in the near future, which will provide students with an opportunity to travel across the Russian border to study in Russia. This decision does not exist yet", - Kaminsky added.

He explained that students, being in their homeland, are trained in a distance format. After arriving in Tomsk, according to the requirements of the Russian Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing (Rospotrebnadzor), they will have to stay at the observatory for 14 days, and only after that they will be able to start classes in full-time mode. Tomsk universities in their dormitories have prepared isolated rooms for observation of foreign students, designed to accommodate 1.5 thousand people.
