Recognition of Educational Documents
What is Educational Recognition and why is it needed?

If you want to enter a university in Russia, the significance of a document about your previous education must be confirmed - a school certificate, a university diploma.

The recognition procedure is often confused with the legalization procedure. During the legalization procedure, it is confirmed that your document was issued in accordance with the laws of your state, and that the seal and signature on it are genuine.

During the recognition procedure, it is confirmed that the document belongs to you, that it is genuine, and also that it entitles you to enter the NRU BelSU.

If you are going to study at NRU "BelSU", you can go through the recognition procedure at our university at the Regional Educational and Methodological Center (RUMC) "Expert Center for Evaluation of Foreign Documents on Education"
