Connecting Students and Universities
The education industry today depends more and more on the World Wide Web, from online courses to virtual encyclopedias and discussion forums, education and the internet go hand in hand. The increase in the number of people using the internet to find courses is so significant, that today the best option for schools to communicate with students is by joining the online world.
It is within this context that Educaedu has launched an online tool that facilitates communication between universities and the users of the web. The newly launched Centre/School Profile option allows educational institutions to create an account, upload content and manage their course offerings, which are published in the Educaedu portal. This permits the centres to have greater autonomy with the ability to modify and update the information about their programs as often as they like, which in turn keeps the site up-to-date and makes the connection with students even more direct. Any type of higher education centre can upload their courses, from private institutes to universities and technical colleges.
Students can browse through programs that they are interested in studying, and if they have any questions they can email the centre with a form that appears on every course.
The Centre/School Profile option is available on all of the Educaedu websites, including our English countries Australia, the UK, the US and Canada. For all other countries, click here.

Educaedu is proud to present our latest addition – Educaedu Russia.
With over 1100 programs and courses from more than 100 different schools, our new website has a wide variety of options for anyone looking to study in Russia. We would like to give a big Поздравляю (congratulations) to Aigul, the Content Manager for Russia, who single handedly organized and created all the content for the website. Thanks also goes out to all the programmers who had to cypher through Cyrillic to get the website up and running.
So you don’t know a lot about Russian culture? Well, it is difficult to make generalizations due to the variety of people living there and the shear size of the country. It stretches over both Europe and Asia and covers an area of 6,595,600 square miles. It is the largest country in the world (by land mass), covering almost twice the territory of the next largest country, Canada. Since the breakup of the Soviet Union, Russia has officially been known as the Russian Federation. Within its borders, which stretch from Poland in the West all the way over to within several miles of Japan in the East, Russia is home to an astounding variety of people. There are citizens who are ethnically Russian, Tatars, Ukrainians, Bashkirs, Chuvashes, Chechens, and Armenians. There are also many Germans, Azerbaijanis, Inuit, and Uzbeks. What is pretty amazing is that all these people with all these varying backgrounds have one official language – Russian.
We welcome Russia to the Educaedu family and hope that it facilitates the ease in which students can find what they want to study in Russia and abroad.
