Pierre Maude

FranceFrance
Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University

My name is Pierre, I am 24 years old, and I am from France. I am currently studying in Russia at Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University in Kaliningrad. First of all, studying in Russia means you will have to learn a new language and get absorbed in a new culture, which is also an opportunity to look at familiar things from a new perspective. Learning a new language is a valuable personal experience that will also benefit your professional life. I have been studying Russian for 10 months; it is quite difficult, but our teachers are fantastic, and the atmosphere in our group is wonderful, which makes studying easier. Additionally, I have the opportunity to teach French to university students in the French language club, and this is a unique experience for both the students and me.

IKBFU offers a wide range of programs you can choose from after completing the preparatory course or join directly. I want to continue my studies and pursue a Master's degree in Business Informatics at this university.

Natalia Kamacho

BoliviaBolivia
National Research Nuclear University MEPhI

I am a second-year student at the Institute of Nuclear Physics and Technologies MEPhI. I decided to come to Russia because I wanted to have a good education, and I am also interested in the culture and lifestyle of the people, and of course, the language. When I arrived, I didn't understand anything in Russian. At first, I studied the language, physics, and mathematics in the preparatory department. Then, in the first year, all classes were delivered only in Russian. The teachers spoke fluently—faster than in the preparatory course. I didn’t understand anything on the first day, but now I feel comfortable speaking and learning. I have also fallen in love with Moscow.

I have a lot of funny stories, many of which are related to learning the Russian language. One teacher asked me what my name was. I replied, Natalia. She said that I had Russian roots. I just kept saying "yes-yes," while I understood nothing. Now we both smile when we recall that story together.

For me, MEPhI represents friendship, love, and sincerity! The university offers many opportunities for growth and achieving goals.

Pei Yuning

ChinaChina
National Research University «Higher School of Economics»

My name is Yuning, I am a third-year student in the Applied Data Analysis program at the Faculty of Computer Science. When I think of studying at the HSE, the first word that comes to mind is "growth." Over the two and a half years of studying here, I have gained a tremendous amount of new knowledge. Moreover, for me, self-development is also related to growth. At HSE, I have been able to solve many complex problems; now I am more self-confident and ready for new achievements.

I am very lucky to study at such a friendly and modern university. I advise everyone interested to try applying to HSE. You won’t regret it!

Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (National Research University)

Many international students choose MIPT, and everyone has their own story of choice. From the moment I arrived at the airport, I realized this was the beginning of a new life for me. I had many opportunities back home, but I found something special at MIPT. Even in my first year at MIPT, we discovered a lot of new things thanks to the wonderful textbooks in both Russian and English. I was impressed by all the opportunities that MIPT offered us.

MIPT has excellent teachers who are always ready to help. I had amazing mentors who assisted me at every step.

I am very happy that I was able to enroll at Phystech, and I believe that studying here will give me every chance to become who I want to be. Studying at Phystech has become a part of me!

Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin

My name is Anindita Mukherjee. I came to Russia with my husband—he is a senior researcher at Ural Federal University named after the First President of Russia B. N. Yeltsin.

Here, I completed my Master's degree in Food Biotechnology and I am currently defending my dissertation on Urban Chemistry. My dissertation is based on experimental work. The research requires a lot of chemicals, magnetic holders, and a bit of spectroscopy. I get everything I need and never have any problems. My supervisor is also very good. I like Yekaterinburg because it is very calm and clean. Russia is a highly developed country with many opportunities. The food here is delicious and healthy. It is a bit cold here, but it’s fine. After I defend my dissertation, I want to continue my studies and pursue a doctoral degree. Alternatively, I will work in a food production company. These are my future plans. I will never give up and I always maintain a positive attitude towards people.

Igor Michel Adami

Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin

My name is Igor Michel Adami, and I am from Brazil. I enrolled in UrFU for a Master's program in International Relations, and I am currently defending my dissertation in history, including the history of international relations. The first time I heard about UrFU was when I was applying for studying abroad at my home university. I had several options. I chose UrFU because the research in International Relations was closely linked to security studies, making it my top choice. Then I found my academic advisor. In the near future, my life will be focused on completing my postgraduate studies and defending my dissertation.

I believe that the overwhelming majority of people in Russia who work with international students are those who are ready to do everything to help you.

Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University

My name is Yara Almussa. I completed my Master's degree in Linguistics at IKBFU and am currently having my postgraduate studies. I love this university—in addition to studying, I particularly enjoy extracurricular and student activities. I am very happy that I chose this university. The professors are always eager to help students, and you are always welcome in the student clubs. Moreover, the program I study guarantees a high chance of employment in the future. I believe that Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University deserves great praise. I really enjoy visiting our university library; the variety of books available both on campus and in the online library has greatly aided me in writing my thesis. The laboratory equipment the university has allows students to gain the practical experience they need.

In my opinion, the dormitories at IKBFU are the best in Russia. I would definitely like to recommend IKBFU to all international students. The quality of education here is very high, and Kaliningrad itself is very cozy and beautiful.

Afraa Mohammad

Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (National Research University)

Before becoming a graduate student in Biological Sciences at MIPT, I studied the Russian language and got a Master's degree from another university. Although I was living comfortably, I applied for a postgraduate program at MIPT as soon as I heard about this opportunity. Why MIPT? What makes it so special? Well, let's start: it is a modern university with a high ranking worldwide, especially in technology and its applications. It has a young, highly qualified staff. The student life is vibrant, with many cultural and sporting events, football matches, competitions, performances, concerts, clubs, etc. Last but not least, my institute offers modern equipped laboratories with ample funding and interesting projects.

Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University

My name is Melissa Vasquez, and I am from Ecuador. I am a third-year student at Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University in Kaliningrad, studying General Medicine. The classes are delivered in Russian. I learned about this university from the Russian Embassy in Ecuador and from a friend who told me about the advantages of studying in Kaliningrad, as well as the federal status of IKBFU, which provides excellent education.

What I like most about the university is the medical simulation center, its infrastructure, and equipment, as it has everything you need for acquiring and improving professional skills. After graduation, I plan to return to my homeland with the profession I have mastered.

Soumojit Mukherjee

National Research Nuclear University MEPhI

I am usually called Soum. I am a fourth-year student at the Institute of Financial Technologies and Economic Security MEPhI. My major is financial monitoring. I wanted to pursue an engineering education but have always been interested in economics as well. When the selection of foreign citizens opened for the first time, I immediately submitted my documents.

I have been in Russia for 5 years. I initially studied in Obninsk at a preparatory department. The classes were delivered entirely in Russian.

When I arrived in Moscow, I met with curators and classmates during the Instructions for Use meeting for first-year students at MEPhI. Studying at MEPhI is an excellent opportunity to do science. You can find any professor, discuss topics, write a research paper, and publish it. I am currently an ambassador for Russian nuclear education, a member of the Dormitory Council, and I manage the English club. My advice is that you need to take the initiative first, and then people will help you.
