Polytech Launches International Educational Programs

Representatives from China Begin Studies at Novokuybyshevsk Branch

By invitation from Samara Polytech, 49 students from East China Jiaotong University (Nanchang, Jiangxi Province) have arrived to continue their studies at the Novokuybyshevsk branch. These international students will reside in the campus dormitory while pursuing undergraduate degrees in "Human Resource Management" and "Computer Science and Engineering." Having already completed two years of coursework and Russian language studies in China, they will now study for an additional two years on Russian soil.

This academic exchange is part of a broader collaboration established in 2021 between Samara Polytech and the Chinese Academy of Management, which facilitates partnerships with several Chinese universities, including East China Jiaotong University. The agreement supports the delivery of business education programs like the MBA, alongside core higher education courses.

To enhance this cooperation, the "China-Russia Institute of International Education" (CRIEI) was founded within Samara Polytech’s Higher School of Management and Technologies, housed at the Institute of Engineering, Economics, and Humanities. According to Alexey Vasilchikov, Director of the Institute, an individualized educational plan is crafted for each international student to ensure they complete their essential academic disciplines. Upon graduation, students will be awarded a bachelor’s diploma from Samara Polytech.
