RTU MIREA Showcased at Major Kazakhstan Education Fairs

From November 19 to 23, RTU MIREA representatives — E.A. Slezkina, Deputy Director of the Institute of International Education, and S.A. Laputin, technician of the interactive VR systems laboratory at RTU MIREA's Altair Children's Technopark — participated in the 24th Kazakhstan International Exhibition "Education and Career." Organized with support from Kazakhstan's Ministry of Education, it drew over 20 delegations from countries near and far, including Kazakhstan, Russia, Germany, and China. They also took part in the showcase of leading Russian universities "Study in Russia," held at the Russian House in Astana, featuring 44 universities from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, Omsk, Tyumen, Nizhny Novgorod, and other Russian cities.

Prospective students learned about application deadlines, benefits of studying at the university, including post-graduation employment prospects, and specifically about admissions for Kazakhstan citizens under the Russian Government’s quota for educating foreign nationals and stateless persons.
