Working off the State-funded education grants
From 2021, students of bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees, who have studied at the State’s expense on a state-funded education grant, after graduating from the university must work in the obtained specialty for 3 years. Ggraduates can work the prescribed period on specialization in organizations, regardless of the form of ownership.
A rule has also been introduced on the reimbursement of expenses incurred by the State for the training of a person, owning the grant, commensurate with the actual period of study. That is, if a student has studied for two years on a grant and then transferred to a fee-paying basis, he will have to work off the time corresponding to the number of years of free education. The same rule applies to students studying for a fee-paying basis, and then they compete for vacant places on a grant.
