Delegation of Tidar University (Indonesia) visits RUDN University
“26 students from Indonesia study at RUDN. More than 300 professionals from this country have studied here. Among Indonesian students, the most demanded areas are “Economics”, “Medicine” and “Jurisprudence”, said Oleg Yastrebov, Rector of RUDN University.
The rector also drew the attention of the delegation members to more than 70 basic English-taught educational programs at the University, and suggested sending Indonesian exchange students to these programs.
During the talks, the Indonesian side expressed its desire to establish cooperation between universities in the following areas: economics, social, political, pedagogical and natural sciences, agriculture and engineering. The rector of Tidar University, Professor Mukh Arifin, also indicated the intention to send young Indonesian researchers to postgraduate studies to conduct joint research and further publish the results of scientific work.
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.
