Evgeniy Sagaidak, talking about foreign students at NSU,
In recent years, the number of foreign students at the University has been steadily growing. We are very close to 2000 people from 56 countries. 260 foreign citizens are studying on the basis of scholarships from the Russian Federation. NSU is open and ready for interuniversity cooperation. We are interested in accepting talented Dominican students and establishing long-term cooperation with leading universities in the Dominican Republic.
Guests from the Dominican Republic were given a tour of the University and visited the scientific and educational center “Evolution of the Earth”. Embassy representatives also met with Spanish-speaking NSU students.
Ortega Ramirez talked about the visit,
This is my first trip to ԹϹ. Earlier, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation told me more than once that this is one of the leading universities in the country, so I am glad we were able to organize this meeting. I am sure that it will not be the last. We are grateful for your openness and willingness to cooperate. We will continue to work on student’s enrollment and teacher visits. We are also ready to assist in finding promising partnerships with universities in our country.
