Dear Colleagues,
Congratulations on Higher School Teacher’s Day!
Your work is priceless — you tackle challenges and bring new stars to the constellation of students, through words and deeds changing their future for the better. You are more than a teacher. You are a guiding star leading future specialists and scientists along the right path.
May you shine brighter and keep sharing wisdom and life experience with your students. Never lose faith in them and a sense of humor.
Happy holiday!
The International Youth Festival (IYF-2026) was held in Yekaterinburg. For all seven days, RUDN University's stand operated there — a compact model of university life featuring a dorm room, a coworking space, a "kitchen," and multimedia installations. Guests from various countries didn't just learn about Russia's most international university — they tasted a slice of student life firsthand.
What are students from African countries coming to study at RUDN University like? Why did they choose a Russian education, and what do they want to learn? How do they adapt to life in a new, unfamiliar country? What do the Russian language and culture mean to them? For the third Russia-Africa Summit, RUDN University has compiled a portrait of a typical African student and shared their experiences during their studies.
A themed train dedicated to the 65th anniversary of RUDN University has been launched in the Moscow Metro! For six months, the train will run along the Sokolnicheskaya Line.
