Elis is an alumnus of Baikal School of BRICS 2023, Sustainable Innovative Economics Programme

I entered the BS BRICS in 2019. Before starting my studies, I had doubts about studying in English. My language level was B1 at that time. I was afraid that I was not to be able to learn difficult subjects in a foreign language. However, thanks to our teachers, I did it and overcame these difficulties. I am happy to say "I speak English fluently!". There were a lot of discussions, group work and other interesting activities in the classroom. Each of the teachers is in my heart. 

BS BRICS is a place that unites students from different countries. Here I met friends from China, Africa and Mongolia. A multinational environment also helps to develop your language and communication skills. During our studies, we participated in many university events. We all spent time together making up performances and preparing for performances. In my 3rd year of study, I managed to visit Poland for a six-month exchange program. Those were unforgettable months. I studied there at the Faculty of Management and gained new knowledge and experience. In addition to Wroclaw, the city in which we lived, we also visited Warsaw and Prague. I am very glad that the university offers such opportunities for every student. My training ended with the defense of the Final qualifying work. The scientific supervisor Vadim Ilyich Loktionov helped me a lot in writing it. Thanks to his instructions and advice, I was able to defend myself perfectly.
