RUDN presents educational programs at the “IEFT INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION FAIRS OF TURKEY”
More than 250 higher educational institutions from 28 countries of the world took part in the exhibition: Great Britain, USA, Canada, Germany, Australia, Sweden, France, etc. Russia at the educational exhibition was represented by RUDN and the Higher School of Economics.
During the exhibition, great interest was noted in the educational programs of the RUDN University, in particular in engineering, medical and economic areas. Turkish schoolchildren and graduates of the bachelor’s program expressed interest in studying specifically in the Russian language in connection with the improvement of relations between Russia and Turkey. However, not only Turkish students were interested in the educational programs of RUDN University, but also representatives of other countries finishing their studies in Turkey, expressed desire to continue their studies in Russia.
Denise Acar, Director of IEFT and Global Vision Consulting Agency, noted high interest of applicants in the educational programs of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, as well as the interest of Turkish recruitment agencies in cooperation with RUDN.
The number of foreign ambassadors of Russian education and science has reached 47. In October 2026, 12 more teachers, scientists, and public figures received this honorary status - from Brazil, Israel, Kazakhstan, Cameroon, China, Lebanon, Moldova, Mongolia, Nigeria, Peru, Syria, and the Central African Republic. Five of them studied at Peoples' Friendship University of Russia.
Last week, RUDN University welcomed a delegation led by Gao Song, President of Peking University. The visit marked his first international trip since assuming office as the rector of the university, which ranks 13th globally.
In RUDN’s main building, Russian speech has mixed with Arabic and strict business suits with national attire. The reason for this is the 100th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Russia and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The university hosted a large-scale event “The Century of Friendship, Cultural and Scientific Exchange between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Russian Federation”, which brought together diplomats, scientists, rectors of leading universities, and students.
