RUDN University and Hebei University of Engineering - a new joint educational project
Cooperation will start with 5 areas of training: 4 Bachelor’s degree programs (Landscape architecture, Architecture, Management in technical systems and Design and technological support of machine-building industries) and one Master’s degree program (Architecture). The Chinese side is ready to send 25 students annually to study at RUDN University.
Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia and Hebei University of Engineering (PRC) agreed to create a joint educational project — “Polytechnic Institute of Hebei Engineering University and Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia”.

The proposed form of cooperation, within the framework of the newly created institute, is joint educational programs of Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees, providing for two diplomas in the areas of Bachelor’s degree:

and Master’s program “Architecture”.
Hebei University of Engineering guarantees, after the second year of bachelor’s studies and the first year of master’s, to send at least 25 students to RUDN University to continue their studies in each of the four undergraduate and one graduate areas.
At the same time, work is underway to include this project in the list of projects of the Committee for Humanitarian Cooperation within the framework of regular meetings of the prime ministers of China and Russia.
For reference:
Training of students at the Polytechnic Institute of Hebei University of Engineering and Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia will be implemented through:
- Fund for support of foreign education of the Ministry of Education of the PRC;
- Scholarship Fund of the International Corporation “Eurasia”;
- Students’ payments.
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.
RUDN University delegation, led by the university's president Vladimir Filippov, paid an important official visit to China. The central events of the business visit were signing of a memorandum on the establishment of an International Scientific Center for Mathematics within the framework of the SCO University and awarding the title of Honorary Professor of Xi'an Jiaotong University to Vladimir Filippov. RUDN University also presented its educational potential at a world-class University Forum and a specialized exhibition.
From April 16 to 19, Casablanca hosted one of the largest international education exhibitions, where over 200 educational institutions from 40 countries presented their academic opportunities to young people from Morocco and other African countries.
