Foreign students who successfully pass final exams in the disciplines studied receive a certificate and are enrolled on the 1st or 2nd stage of education without taking exams.

In the process of training at the preparatory department, the teachers of the department help foreign students
§  adapt to new conditions of studying at BSEU and new living conditions in an unfamiliar country;
