Polytechnic University annually takes part in the fall educational exhibition of Rossotrudnichestvo. Uzbekistan is traditionally one of the priority export markets for Polytechnic University’s educational programs. We pay great attention to the promotion of our university so that schoolchildren and students of Uzbekistan receive the most up-to-date information about studying at Polytechnic University on a budget: within the quota of the Government of the Russian Federation and through participation in the International Olympiad “Open Doors: Russian Scholarship project”, as well as on a contract basis, commented Maria Bocharova, Director of the Center for International Recruitment and Communications.
