International Students Defend Theses in Russia

Many graduates plan to continue their studies at Russian universities.

More than 70 international students from 19 countries have graduated from Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University. All of them got European Diploma Supplement in English along with Russian university diploma. The document certifies that training conformed to European education standards.

Two groups of students, from Iraq and Jamaica, have graduated from Siberian Federal University. Iraqi students completed the undergraduate programme in Oil and Gas Business. They learnt Russian at the Preparatory Department and then had training in field specific disciplines. The four-year programme was focused on oil and gas field development and operation; the practice included job placements in the home country where students collected data for their theses. Some graduates want to continue their studies at SibFU planning to apply for the programme in Oil and Gas Field Management.
