The preparatory course takes one year, and they don't recognize domestic qualifications, so if you want to study, come and study directly now. In addition, they don't have a so-called master's degree, and only experts+doctors * * * is 8 years plus 1 year preparatory course to get a doctorate in 9 years. In addition, everyone needs an interview, that is, inviting you to Petersburg for an interview. If it fails, go back to China. Therefore, it is not recommended to apply directly for their preparatory courses. You can consider applying for the preparatory course of St. Petersburg University of Culture, and going to St. Petersburg Conservatory of Music for an interview during the preparatory course. If you pass the interview, you will transfer to the Conservatory of Music after graduating from preparatory school. This can ensure price comparison. Even if you fail, you can continue to study at the University of Culture and Arts. If you want to go to graduate school, Petersburg will go to the Russian National Normal University, where there are postgraduate courses.
