For over 50 years, the Department of Belarusian and Russian Languages has welcomed students from across the globe. All academic process is full-time, and department lecturers also act as group leaders (mentors, curators) for the academic groups they teach.
In accordance with the curriculum, Russian language teaching at the preparatory (pre-university) department is conducted using textbooks and study materials created by the department's own lecturers:
