A delegation of the Consulate General of Uzbekistan visited Polytechnic University
The visit began with a tour of the university’s International Campus, followed by talks with Dmitry Arsenyev, SPbPU Vice-Rector for International Affairs, and heads of relevant departments. The parties discussed a wide range of issues related to bilateral cooperation. Particular attention was paid to expanding double-degree programs with leading universities in Uzbekistan, as well as the possibility of implementing joint scientific and educational projects, including international student marathons and festivals.
A key event of the program was a meeting between the consulate delegation and Uzbek citizens studying at Polytechnic University. During an open dialogue, the consul inquired about the students’ living and study conditions, their academic performance, and their involvement in public life. The students asked questions regarding migration registration, access to consular and legal services, and participation in the activities of the Youth Union of Uzbekistan in the Northwestern Federal District.
Representatives of Polytechnic University responsible for student affairs highly appreciated the level of preparation of the Uzbek students, noting their high cultural awareness and diligence in their studies. Institute leaders confirmed the demand for the engineering and economics specialties that the students are pursuing.
During the meeting with students, the issue of selecting a head for the Uzbek community at Polytechnic University was supported. This will streamline interaction between fellow students and the consulate and involve them in cultural and sports events held in St. Petersburg. Consulate representatives invited the students to Uzbek Film Days and suggested they participate in other international projects at the university.
The visit concluded with a tour of Polytechnic’s Interclub. The guests viewed the Unified Center for International Student Services and highly appreciated the living conditions and support system for international students at SPbPU.
