Today is the deadline to apply for the academic exchange contest 🌍
If you’re already an international student, this is a chance to take that experience even further and explore the academic world beyond Russia. Just ask our student Ildus Erbaev from Kyrgyzstan!
For Ildus, a Bachelor’s student in software engineering at ITMO, a semester exchange at Ajman University (UAE) was a deeply personal and eye-opening experience.
During his exchange, Ildus took part in lots of special events for exchange students: from exploring local landmarks to an unforgettable meeting with the university rector, where conversations flowed in a friendly, informal atmosphere.
New cultures, strong academic values, meaningful connections, and a supportive community — this is how Ildus describes his time in the UAE.

For Ildus, a Bachelor’s student in software engineering at ITMO, a semester exchange at Ajman University (UAE) was a deeply personal and eye-opening experience.
What I liked most was the attitude of the university staff, dormitory employees, and people in general toward students, especially international ones.
During his exchange, Ildus took part in lots of special events for exchange students: from exploring local landmarks to an unforgettable meeting with the university rector, where conversations flowed in a friendly, informal atmosphere.
Among my pleasant memories, I would also highlight sports and the coaches. The quality and the community built around it are impressive.
New cultures, strong academic values, meaningful connections, and a supportive community — this is how Ildus describes his time in the UAE.
Overall, the exchange experience was extremely useful and enriching, both academically and personally.

Johan also told us what it was like to experience his first winter in St. Petersburg:

Johan also told us what it was like to experience his first winter in St. Petersburg:
“In Mexico, I was used to temperatures of around 30°C, while here I experienced temperatures as low as -20°C. Of course, that’s a huge difference, but I don’t think the weather is something students should be afraid of. You have to adapt and buy the right clothes, but winter here can also be really beautiful.”
