Annotation

The Russian Federation is a multinational state. Globalization of the modern world leads to an increase in international ties. All this is reflected in the main directions of the state policy in the field of strengthening international cooperation and forming respect for historical values and cultural heritage of the peoples of the Russian state.

The authors consider the main directions of activities carried out by regional higher educational institutions and public organizations in the field of adaptation of migrant students in the sociocultural space which is new for them.

Since migrant students are a special category of population because of their age and social status, it is characterized by a number of special problems. Migrant students face many stressful effects of their new life environment. The quicker they adapt to new conditions, the more successful their learning process will be. Adaptation of international students has a long time character, as it is a very complex process. Students-migrants face great difficulties, among which are: a new sociocultural environment, unusual climatic conditions, an unfamiliar language and educational system.

As practice shows, for a large number of foreign students, getting education in Russia is the so-called “launching pad” into future life. When receiving Russian education, foreign students hope to relocate to Russia for permanent residence, taking the citizenship of our state.

Mordovian higher educational institutions continue to increase the export of educational services. Every year the geography of countries is expanding, admission of students from abroad increases. This trend will continue, as one of the objectives of the national project “Education” is to increase the number of foreign students.
