student needs to take physics class abroad

[Renee Stillings | Alinga]

I can think of two options that we have arranged for students:

1. Moscow Power Engineering Institute offers a BS in Computer Engineering in 
English and there may be within that a physics class. Language and 
literature then could be an option within their Russian for Foreigners 
courses.

2. St. Petersburg State Polytechnic University can cover the language, lit 
and culture easily enough, most within the framework of their regular 
programming for foreigners. Physics could either be part of their 
preparatory courses (which would probably put it at a Physics 101/102 level 
as it is intended to bring foreign student to the level of a Russian high 
school grad on that subject) or they can arrange individual instruction if 
it is more specialized. We currently have a student there doing this, except 
that instead of physics she is taking two advanced math courses (with an 
English-speaking professor)

I have assumed here that the interest is in physics being taught in English. 
If your student is an advanced speaker of Russian, of course there would be 
more possibilities.
