This summer, for the fifth year in a row, RUDN University's best graduates celebrated the end of their studies and received honours diplomas, setting sail for a bright future together with Rector Oleg Yastrebov. But once, each of them walked through the university doors for the first time, got to know their groupmates and professors, settled into the rhythm of university life, and went through the freshman initiation ceremony.
RUDN Faculty of Economics hosted the defense of bachelor's theses by students enrolled in the “International Economic Relations and Foreign Economic Activity” program. This year, thesis defense stood out for its practical significance: the research was commissioned by the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) and focused on the export potential of the EAEU in African markets.
