Accredited education, at affordable costs, in a safe and multicultural environment.
Engineering programs are taught entirely in English, meaning students don't need to learn Russian before starting their studies. This saves time and makes the academic transition much smoother.
When we say "programs taught entirely in English," we mean that students will find everything—from lectures and textbooks to exams and projects—in English, opening up vast opportunities for learning and working globally without needing to master a new local language.
The university offers student housing specifically for international students at an annual cost of approximately $380. Located near campus, the housing includes single or double rooms with basic amenities such as internet access, heating, and a kitchen. For more information, please visit the student housing page.
Generally, international students in Belarus are not permitted to work full-time while studying. However, they can work part-time in limited fields, such as delivery services, restaurant services, or technical support, provided they obtain an official work permit. We can assist students with this, but we advise all students to focus on their studies, as engineering programs are intensive and require full-time commitment.
Belarus is one of the safest and most stable countries in Europe, offering a multicultural environment that welcomes international students. Daily life is easy and comfortable, with readily available transportation, internet access, and essential amenities at reasonable prices. International students can easily adapt thanks to the diverse and supportive student community. For more information, please visit the Study & Life in Belarus page.
