Successful adaptation of foreign students to higher education system and life in Russia is an actual objective of all pre-university training programs. The purpose of this study is to identify the level of academic, social and psychological, and personal adaptation of foreign students of the pre-master’s training program in comparison with the adaptation level of future foreign bachelors. In empirical research the authors analyzed responses of 92 foreign students of the pre-university training programs at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. The results show that the process of foreign pre-master’s students’ adaptation differs in its specificity. In accordance with the competency-based approach in modern education this fact is recommended to be considered when preparing programs of pre-master’s training of foreigners for admission to Russian universities.
