The Rector
Our top priority is to train highly qualified professionals for their home countries, enabling them to apply the knowledge acquired in Russia back home. That is why all student work, including graduation theses, focuses on the country each student comes from. Our students also learn the value of friendship and leadership and develop the ability to work in an international, multifaith team.
