RUDN participating at the international exhibition EXPOLINGUA
Besides American, British, German, Spanish and Latin American educational brands various Russian universities were represented at EXPOLINGUA, among them the Russian Peoples Friendship University. Maria Tislenko, specialist at the department of Language programs development of the Vice-rector service for Further Education, told exhibition visitors about the educational programs of the RUDN University at the EXPOLINGUA stand and in a separate EXPOLINGUA section devoted to Russian universities.
The exhibition attracted the attention of more than a thousand visitors, many of whom have demonstrated a great interest in the opportunities to study at RUDN University, especially in master's programs and summer/winter schools. In this regard, we can state that congress and exhibition activities are an important element in promoting the RUDN brand abroad, including the context of implementation of the governmental export strategy of the Russian education, whose active developer RUDN is.
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.
