It is the first launching of joint master's program at NSU. Up to this point cooperation between two countries has been conducted in accordance with the Double degree program.
鈥�One should clearly differ these two programs: Double degree program and Joint master鈥檚 program.鈥� says the head of the NSU French Center Michelle Debrenne. 鈥�Joint master鈥檚 program involves a narrow profile and the curriculum is made up for each subject separately. Double degree program implies a more extensive training and two degree defenses: in France and in Russia.鈥�
This year according to the joint master's program two undergraduates from the Department of Physics went to France. In a year they will return together with several French students.
鈥�Among other Russian Universities NSU occupies leading positions for member institutes of ParisTech. They receive much more exchange students from NSU than from any other Russian university. And our French partners highly appreciate this cooperation.鈥� - stated the head of the French Center.
Joint programs with French partners have been existing at NSU for over10 years. As a result we have formed strong traditions and several generations of NSU-French students, some of whom have returned to Russia. Nowadays these students are of great demand for the foreign companies in Russia.
鈥�Very often, if a student showed himself well, he or she has an opportunity to stay and work in the company they held internship. There is an opportunity to find a job at the Career Day. But I cannot say that all of our students are going to stay abroad. Some of those who have gained experience are coming back to Russia - explained Michelle Debrenne. - Some of French companies that have their offices in Russia are interested in such personnel.鈥�
