جامعة الصداقة بين الشعوب - الطلاب العرب في روسيا - الدراسة في روسيا
يتواجد الطلاب العرب بأغلبية ساحقة فى مدينة موسكو وبخاصة فى جامعة الصداقة بين الشعوب وفى جامعة موسكو كذلك 
وسوف نعرض فى هذا القسم مزيد من الضوء على جامعة الصداقة بين الشعوب التى بها العدد الأكبر من الطلاب العرب نظراً لقلة تكاليف الدراسة بها مقارنة مع الجامعات الأخرى ولجودة مستوى التعليم بها 

من ناحية أخرى يتزايد عدد الطلاب الأوروبيين القادمين إلى روسيا للدراسة فى جامعه الصداقة بين الشعوب فقد أعلن نائب رئيس الجامعة الروسية للصداقة بين الشعوب الكسندر يفريموف أن انضمام روسيا إلى اتفاقية بولونيا للتعليم العالي يساعد على تزايد شعبية الدراسة في الجامعات الروسية وسط الطلاب الأوروبيين 

وقال يفريموف: "إن عدد الطلاب من غرب أوروبا القادمين للدراسة في روسيا في تزايد مستمر وهم يدرسون هنا بسرور. وقد ساهمت في ذلك عملية انضمام بلادنا إلى اتفاقية بولونيا للتعليم العالي. ففي جامعة الصداقة بين الشعوب مثلا تنفذ جميع بنود الاتفاقية. فقد تحولنا إلى النظام المتعدد المستويات ولدينا نظام داخلي لضبط الجودة الذي تم تنسيقه مع المفوضية الأوروبية، ونقوم بتقييم المستوى الدراسي وفقا للمعايير الأوروبية والروسية، ونمنح الطالب ملحقا روسيا وأوروبيا للشهادة بالدرجات التي حصل عليها الطالب 

وأضاف: "كل شيء عندنا كما في أوروبا ولكن أفضل بقليل لأن أساتذتنا يعملون مع الطلاب بشكل مباشر، ونحن متطلبون أكثر فيما يتعلق بجودة التعليم 

وقد انضمت روسيا إلى اتفاقية بولونيا للتعليم العالي في سبتمبر 2003، ويعد الهدف الأساسي من الانضمام هو تشكيل فضاء أوروبي موحد للتعليم العالي بحلول عام 2010. وتتضمن الاتفاقية التي تضم نحو 50 بلدا أوروبيا تعليم الطلاب في الخارج والتحول إلى نظام التعليم العالي 
ذي مستويين (بكالوريوس وماجستير) وإدخال نظام الساعات المعتمدة والاعتراف المتبادل بالشهادات 

وأشار يفريموف إلى أن الخبراء الشباب لا يستطيعون الحصول بسهولة على وظيفة في البلدان الأوروبية بعد تخرجهم على عكس روسيا التي تشهد نموا اقتصاديا وبالتالي نمو سوق العمل. وقال: "إلى جانب ذلك فالأجور والرواتب عندنا ليست أقل من أوروبا حاليا 

وأشار إلى أن مجموعة تضم 35 - 40 طالبا من فرنسا أتت للدراسة في جامعة الصداقة بين الشعوب لأول مرة فى العام الدراسي (2007 - 2008). ويدرس في الجامعة طلاب من ألمانيا وفنلندا والسويد أيضا. إلى جانب ذلك يدرس في الجامعة طلاب من أوروبا الشرقية
