Intensive preparatory and basic program for admission to the university

  • Age – from 18 years (completed school)
  • Duration of study – 1 semester

During the intensive preparatory and basic program, the student can master all the necessary skills necessary to start studying under the bachelor's program. During the semester, teachers will prepare students for everything that awaits them in the first year of study at the university. Professional English (speaking, reading, writing), mathematics and natural sciences, European culture and many other useful activities will prepare students for student life. 

Professional University Preparation Course

  • Age – from 18 years (completed school)
  • Duration of study – 2 semesters

Professional Foundation programs are designed for those who want to study engineering, IT or natural sciences at one of the partner universities, but their professional skills do not yet reach the level required for the university. This is an important step before entering a university, since engineering, information and scientific programs are extremely advanced, require a high level of professional training. The teaching staff has extensive experience in teaching even the most complex technical skills, so the student will begin his university years with full confidence in his abilities.

Professional Foundation programs are designed specifically for all areas of study, so the student can master the specific skills most important for further admission.

Language University Preparation Program

  • Age – from 18 years (completed school)
  • Duration of study – 2 semesters

All BIC partner programs are taught in English, so students need a level of English proficiency not lower than B2. In the event that the admissions staff decides that knowledge of English is not enough to start studying under the bachelor's program, the student must pass this preparatory program.

For two semesters, the student will attend classes in English, Professional Communications, European Culture, as well as elective classes, the main purpose of which is to improve the overall readiness to study engineering, information technology or natural sciences in Europe.
