A group of students from the State University of Management and the Russian International Academy of Tourism, studying under a joint network program, participated in the International Winter School organized by their partner university, the prestigious Indian Guru Nanak Institute of Hotel Management in Kolkata.

The event was organized as part of agreements to improve academic cooperation between the countries, reached following the state visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin to the Republic of India in December 2025.

The journey to India began with a stop in Abu Dhabi (UAE), where the students experienced world-class hospitality, visited Yas Island, and saw the famous Formula 1 circuit and a luxurious marina with yachts.

Classes at the International Winter School began with the traditional Indian greeting ceremony, "Masala Welcome." In Indian culture, this symbol represents a wish for wisdom and a blessing for success in future endeavors.

The International Winter School's educational program is built on intensive immersion in the professional environment and includes lectures on event and crisis management, tourism entrepreneurship, the specifics of developing the tourism industry in India, as well as classes on career opportunities and effective communication skills in the hotel industry.

After a week of lectures, participants of the International Winter School moved on to the practical stage of the program – an internship at the five-star Taj Bengal Hotel in Kolkata, part of the legendary hotel company Taj Group.

The students not only studied intensively but also actively explored India's spiritual heritage and culture: they visited the famous Kali Temple (Kalighat), one of Kolkata's most sacred sites, located on the banks of the Ganges River, and learned about one of India's most joyful holidays—Holi, the festival of spring and vibrant colors.

A rigorous curriculum, combining academic study with practical activities, allowed future hospitality managers to gain an in-depth understanding of the technological complexity and cultural significance of international communications and gain practical insight into the nuances of service organization in world-class hotel complexes.

The leaders of Russia and Vietnam have declared 2026 the Year of Bilateral Cooperation in Science and Education. A delegation from St. Petersburg Polytechnic University actively participated in educational events in Vietnam, including a large-scale "Applicant's Day" and the first Rossotrudnichestvo exhibition of the year, "Russian Universities – The Best Choice."

SPbPU was represented by Maria Bocharova, Director of the Center for International Recruitment and Communications of the Office of International Education (CIRC), and Daria Balitskaya, Senior Lecturer at the Higher School of International Educational Programs.

The first major event was the "Higher Education Admissions and Career Guidance Day 2026," organized by the Teiche newspaper and the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Human Resources. The event was held at the Hanoi University of Technology (HUST), the country's leading technical university.

Applicant's Day is the largest event for Vietnamese schoolchildren applying to universities this year, both in Vietnam and abroad. It's the 24th year it's been organized by the Teiche newspaper and the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Human Resources. The two main events take place in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City on March 8, bringing together approximately 20,000 participants—students and parents. This is the second time Russian universities have participated with a single stand, presenting not only their programs but also Russian education in general. "This greatly helps reach all applicants: they are brought in groups by bus at designated times so they can calmly consult and ask questions," noted Mai Nguyen Tuyen Hoa, First Secretary for Education at the Vietnamese Embassy.

SPbPU was represented at the national stand "Education of the Russian Federation." University representatives held hundreds of individual consultations for applicants interested in engineering and natural sciences. Vietnamese youth were particularly interested in the opportunities to participate in real-world research projects and modern laboratories at the Polytechnic University while still studying.

The next event of the program was the opening ceremony of the "Russian Universities – The Best Choice" exhibition at the Russian House in Hanoi. Vladimir Murashkin, Head of the Rossotrudnichestvo Representative Office in Vietnam, welcomed the guests and participants of the exhibition: "Leading universities of the Russian Federation have come to us today to talk about all the advantages of Russian higher education. Every year, the Russian government allocates 1,000 free places for Vietnamese citizens under a quota. Any schoolchild or student can test their skills by registering with the Education in Russia system and subsequently enroll in a Russian university for free. A Russian education is not just about studying, but also about career advancement."

Leading Russian universities presented their programs to hundreds of Vietnamese schoolchildren, students, and their parents. SPbPU's programs generated considerable interest among the technically minded youth. Applicants were attracted by the opportunity to participate in real-world engineering and scientific projects in the university's modern laboratories during their studies. During individual consultations, Polytechnic University representatives provided detailed information on admission requirements under the Rossotrudnichestvo quota, campus living conditions, and graduates' career prospects.

SPbPU representatives also joined a working meeting with Russian language teachers and parents of applicants at the Russian Centre of Science and Culture. The event provided an opportunity to discuss practical issues, including the level of language proficiency required for admission, pre-university preparation programs, and student adaptation during their studies in Russia.

On the first day of the exhibition, a delegation from SPbPU visited Ha Noi Metropolitan University. The university's Vice-Rector, Doctor of Sciences Nguyen Van Tuan, called the visit of their Russian colleagues an important step in developing academic cooperation. Polytechnic University representatives presented the university's educational programs and research capabilities, laying the foundation for future joint projects and academic exchanges.

That same day, the delegation visited Tung Thien School, where a presentation was held for students. The students were actively interested in choosing engineering majors and the admission requirements at SPbPU.

The visit continued in Haiphong. Following a meeting at Red Star University, the delegation visited two specialized schools for gifted children: Nguyen Chai School and Tran Phu School. Students at these schools are dedicated to studying Russian, participating in academic competitions, and considering Russian universities as a priority for higher education. SPbPU representatives spoke to the students about engineering and IT programs, research opportunities, and career prospects. The students' enthusiastic response and numerous questions confirmed that interest in Russian engineering education in Vietnam is steadily growing.

A separate and important mission for SPbPU representatives was their participation on the jury of the 19th Vietnamese School Olympiad in Russian and the 23rd Student Olympiad. Daria Balitskaya, a senior lecturer at the SPbPU Higher School of International Educational Programs, has been a jury member representing the Polytechnic University for several years. Vladimir Murashkin, head of the Russian House, noted that the presence of experts in Russian as a foreign language from leading Russian universities elevates the selection process to a whole new level.

The business program culminated in a visit to the Ministry of Education and Human Resources of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. The meeting was opened by Nguyen Thi Thanh Minh, Deputy Director of the International Cooperation Department. She emphasized the Ministry's support for initiatives in the area of bilateral Russian-Vietnamese educational cooperation.

Vladimir Murashkin, Director of the Russian House in Hanoi, noted: "We have traditionally collaborated with Vietnam in the field of education for many years. This year, our pilot program reached a new level: over three thousand students registered and expressed their desire to study in Russia. We see that this is no longer just a choice of higher education, but a conscious choice of specialization—engineering, graduate programs, and science."

The Vietnamese identified priority areas for personnel training, highlighting artificial intelligence and digital technologies for industrial and economic development. Polytechnic University representatives confirmed that the university possesses all the necessary competencies to train specialists in this field.

The trip to Vietnam confirmed the enormous interest in Russian engineering education here. Thousands of schoolchildren at the "Applicant's Day," lively discussions with colleagues from ministries and leading universities in Vietnam, and serving on the jury of the Russian Language Olympiad—all of these are important steps in building long-term ties. The schoolchildren deserve special mention. They are specifically studying Russian; many started from scratch and demonstrated a high proficiency within a year. In specialized schools in Hanoi and Haiphong, we saw how carefully the traditions of Russian language learning are preserved. We were convinced that Vietnamese students are motivated, talented, and truly want to study in Russia," Maria Bocharova, Director of the Center for Modernization and Cultural Studies, concluded.

The participation of St. Petersburg Polytechnic University in the 2026 exhibition events in Vietnam not only attracted applicants but also strengthened partnerships with the country's leading educational institutions.

International students at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University continue to explore Russian culture and history. This time, preparatory faculty students from Turkmenistan, Algeria, Vietnam, and China attended the poignant musical and dramatic performance "Relic," which was performed at the Na Mokhovaya Educational Theater at the Russian State Institute of Performing Arts.

The performance, dedicated to the tragic and heroic events of the Great Patriotic War, left a lasting impression on the foreign guests. Of particular interest was the fact that the actors on stage were students, not professional ones. Despite the performers' young age, their acting, vocal talent, and the depth of their emotions captivated the audience.

Senior teacher of supplementary education, Natalya Khaustova, who accompanied the students, shared that the Polytechnic students were delighted and expressed a desire to attend similar cultural events again. Students whose native language is not Russian admitted that the language barrier did not hinder their understanding of the production's main message.

Preparatory Department student Dilshatbek Masharipov shared his emotions: "This event was very valuable and impressive for me. I really enjoyed both the production itself and the theater's interior. I want to visit such places again and see other performances."

A particularly touching review came from student Dhikra Zorgani from Algeria. She admitted that at first, she couldn't even imagine the amount of emotion hidden behind the title of the production she saw.

"It was a real university excursion with my professor and friends. At first, I couldn't even imagine that the title could encompass so many emotions: a mixture of suffering, longing, joy, and sadness all at once," says Dhikra. "I really loved how the artists conveyed the suffering of mothers and families, how they expressed joy, longing, sadness, grief, war, and hope. All these mixed emotions resonated with us."

Such trips and excursions have become a long-standing tradition at the Polytechnic University. They not only help international students adapt to their new country and improve their language skills, but also introduce young people to global cultural values through Russian history and art.

Postgraduate student Sahabi Zayyanu Yabo: "Studying at the Polytechnic is like building a bridge."

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Sahabi Zayanu Yabo from Sokoto State, Nigeria, is a student at the Institute of Physics and Mechanics of the Polytechnic.

— Yabo, why did you choose Russia and the Polytechnic University for your studies?

I chose Russia because of its high-quality education system and world-renowned professors. The Polytechnic University attracted me because of its strong reputation in the technical sciences. I can say that the curriculum exceeded all my expectations: it's challenging, but very interesting and provides a wealth of practical knowledge.

— If you could give yourself advice at the beginning of your studies, what would you say?

"I would advise myself to understand the material more deeply, rather than simply memorizing it. Ask questions from the very beginning, manage your time wisely, and don't be afraid of mistakes—that's where true knowledge comes from."

— They say student life changes a person a lot. What's one useful habit you've picked up here?

"The most useful habit I've acquired here is time management. Learning to plan my studies, prioritize, and find a balance between studying and rest has helped me become more focused and reduce my workload."

— What helps you cope with such a busy schedule?

"The university's teaching aids—lab equipment and materials—are a big help to me. Combined with time management, this makes studying much more effective."

— Funny stories often happen when learning a language and adapting. Have you ever had one?

"At the beginning of my studies, I tried to say the word 'teacher,' but I stressed the wrong syllable. It turned out to be a completely different word!" The teacher smiled and gently corrected me. We laughed, and from then on, I remembered exactly how to say it correctly.

— What would you compare studying at the Polytechnic to?

— Studying here is like building a bridge: step by step, with a solid foundation, and each course and semester is another step towards the future.

— What impression do you have of the university teachers?

— The Polytechnic University's faculty are not only experts in their fields, but also empathetic mentors who are genuinely interested in their students' success.

— Support is very important when you're far from home. Have you managed to find friends in Russia?

— Yes, of course. I made wonderful friends here—and over time, they became more than just friends to me; now they're like family.

— What struck you most about Russia that you don’t have in your homeland?

"I was particularly struck by two things: the distinct seasons—especially the snowy winters, which we don't have in Sokoto—and the deep respect for academic traditions. For example, the ceremonial events and the close interaction between students and faculty. It's truly special."

— Share your plans for the future. What do you plan to do?

After completing my PhD, I plan to work in both universities and industry—here in Russia and in Nigeria. I want to teach and mentor students in aerospace technology, as well as participate in research and development in the aerospace industry.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The National University of Management participated in the Beijing-Moscow teleconference on the topic "New Drivers and New Opportunities: Chinese and Russian Experts' Views on the Chinese Economy."

The event was timed to coincide with the meetings of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and the National People's Congress (NPC), which took place on March 4 and 5, respectively.

Fanis Sharipov, Director of the Center for Socioeconomic and Political Research at the State University of Management, spoke among the invited experts. In the audience were students from the State University of Management, who will be studying in China for two years in September as part of the dual-degree program "International Manufacturing Business."

The participants discussed the results of the past five-year period and forecasts for the implementation of China's 15th Five-Year Plan for Socioeconomic Development (2026-2030). They also examined in detail the logic of China's economic policy and development to facilitate the formation of an objective understanding of the Chinese economy by the international community.

In his speech, GUU representative Fanis Sharipov emphasized our university's long-standing cooperation with China in the fields of education and science.

"The first cooperation agreement between the National University of Management and the Harbin Institute of Technology, a prestigious institution not only in China but also globally, was signed back in 1986. Since 2014, our university has been implementing a dual-degree program for undergraduate and graduate students in International Manufacturing Business with the rapidly developing Ningbo University. In 2023, the Center for Socioeconomic and Political Research at the National University of Management was established to develop scientific and technical cooperation with universities and research organizations in China," noted Fanis Falikhovich.

In addition, the director of the Center for Socioeconomic and Political Research at the State University of Management praised the achievements of Chinese companies in the field of AI.

"The State Council of the People's Republic of China formulated a detailed plan for the modern development of next-generation AI back in July 2017. It explicitly stated its intention to make AI the primary driving force of industrial modernization and economic transformation, strengthening national defense, internal and external security, education, and medicine by 2025. And here we recall how, on January 27, 2025, a Chinese startup triggered a collapse in the stock prices of American IT companies. By early February of last year, the NASDAQ high-tech index had lost 3.5%, representing a loss of almost a trillion US dollars. For experts, the successes of Chinese research in artificial intelligence (AI) are the result of China's systematic, long-term efforts in this field, which we have repeatedly noted in our research papers and conference abstracts," concluded Fanis Sharipov.
