Meet Vladimir, an international student from Kyrgyzstan at the Faculty of Software Engineering and Computer Systems, enrolled on a full scholarship from the Russian government.

If you have friends who want to study abroad, tell them about the Rossotrudnichestvo initiative – not many people know about it, so they will have a great chance to get into a Russian university and get a scholarship.

Akylzhan, a second-year Master’s student, recently visited his hometown of Almaty to represent ITMO at the Education and Career Forum Kazakhstan 2023 🇰🇿

🎓Akylzhan says:
Together with staff of ITMO’s International Office, we advised students on how to apply to ITMO. I also shared my experience of enrolling at ITMO through the Russian government scholarship program. I enjoyed showing through my example that living and studying abroad is not as difficult and frightening as it may seem at first.
