«Export of Russian education» – priority of universities development. RUDN hosts a seminar of Rectors and Vice-Rectors for international activity
Export of higher education was on the agenda of the seminar. By 2025, the number of international students has to reach 750,000 (to compare, in 2017 there are 280,000 international students)
«We have to seriously consider realization of the Russian education export project, elaborated by the Russian government. The main challenge is the quality of international students enrollment and the number of international professors that has to comprise 10,2% from the total faculty number», said RUDN Rector V.Filippov.
One of the tasks of the project ins improving the legislative base and facilitating life of international students in terms of legal aspects. Another issue is increasing attractiveness of educational programs and promoting Russian higher education brand.

On April 25-26, RUDN University hosted the Moscow qualifying stage of the XIV All-Russian “Chinese Bridge” Competition. One of the most prestigious contests brought together 288 Moscow schoolchildren, who demonstrated their knowledge of Chinese language, culture and traditions.
The university keeps warm memories of its graduates and the time when they studied and built their future at RUDN University. Today, for their children and grandchildren, the university offers its best Russian language courses completely free of charge.
One of the main questions that concerns students at any university is how to gain their first professional experience before completing their studies. At RUDN University, this process is structured systematically, from choosing an internship to potential employment opportunities.
