Foreign students in Russian universities: problems of adaptation (on the example of Chinese students)
Abstract
This article deals with the sociological adaptation problems of foreign students in Russian universities from the point of view of the prospects for international cooperation between Russia and the educational systems of other countries. As an example, we take Chinese students, whose share in recent years has significantly increased in the structure of foreign students choosing Russia as a country of higher education. The study identified both positive achievements in the field of educational cooperation between Russia and China, and those that negatively affect the attitude of Chinese students towards higher education in Russia. The main reason is related to the adaptation difficulties faced by foreign students in Russia and, in particular, Chinese. Accordingly, it is concluded that it is necessary to overcome barriers, both linguistic and mental, in the process of adaptation of foreign students in the Russian higher education system.
