University foundation programs are traditionally in demand among foreign audiences. More than 400 students from Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East have already applied. Another example of increased interest from international students is the International Polytechnic Summer School. This year more than 400 foreigners are taking part in it.

Polytechnic University once again demonstrates its ability to adapt quickly to changing external conditions. We can see a significant interest from the foreign audience in the wide range of educational programs of the university, which first of all speaks about the reliable reputation of the university and the trust of foreign applicants, students and their parents, said the Head of the Department of International Education Evgenia Satalkina. In order to strengthen the reputation and increase the brand awareness of the university since the beginning of 2022, the international Office has done a great job which included participation in more than 25 international educational programs.
