Our Graduates 2023
2023 was full of achievements and hard work of the students. We are especially proud of our graduates, who have become an indispensable part of the Baikal School of BRICS and have made a special contribution to the history of the university. More than 100 graduates, most of whom came from Shandong Province, have completed their studies at Baikal School of BRICS in various English-taught programs. Students demonstrated not only brilliant academic results (17graduations with honors), but also took an active part in campus life and social events of IRNTU.
Daria Khmelevskih
Assists Chinese students in migration and medical issues.
We admire our students, their achievements and projects. Thus, as part of the course of project activities, students showed extraordinary diligence and, together with tutors, taught Chinese to fifth and ninth grade pupils of the Secondary School No. 19 in Irkutsk. The Chinese students who participated in the project have become local celebrities. The pupils were looking forward to classes with native speakers and were involved in the work from the beginning. The project was held by 4th year students. According to the pupils, they remember and especially liked such people as Bian Yufei, Zhu Yuanhui, Yang Shuwen, Meng Guoli, Guo Chenyang and Yan Yu. For the Chinese students themselves, this project has become a useful experience of communicating with pupils in Russian.
For us tutors, there is nothing better than seeing students reaching their potential and successfully overcoming obstacles. Our role is to be reliable partners and mentors on the way to knowledge, progress and development. We are proud to accompany students in their self-improvement and help them to create the future they dream of.
