The signed agreements are the first example of the master programs of the BRICS Network University. The initiator and organizer of joint training of Russian and Brazilian students was the Faculty of Economics of the RUDN University and the Department of Marketing. Head of Marketing Department Professor Alexander Zobov said:
"Agreements with Brazilian universities imply training students for the Master's program "International marketing", implemented by the department in English for more than 7 years. Brazilian students will be able to study at RUDN under this program from one semester to one year. The same principle works for Russian students in Brazilian universities on the same master's programs. We were able to harmonize curricula with Brazilian partners, which means that students participating in the programs have the opportunity to receive two degrees - RUDN and one of the Brazilian universities."
