Testimonials

I enjoy bilingual teaching environment in my class. In addition to the excellent Russian teachers, we also have teachers from the United States, Australia and other parts of the world; so while studying we are also fortunate to learn about the rich and colorful cultures around the world.

Today the majority of firms expect young employees to have good cross cultural communication skills and this program helps me to train these skills due to everyday communication in classes with my foreign groupmates and professors. I like that professors support and encourage me whenever I need help or guidance.

I chose to study Artificial Intelligence as every day new technologies are taking over the world. Al is one of the top spheres in our modern life and I want to be among qualified leaders with valuable skills and knowledge in IT sphere.

Now I’m in a country where I’m anchored to seek knowledge. There are not many Russian names I want to tell here.

When I just arrived here, I really didn't know anything, the language was different, the writing was very different, but with time I began to speak Russian little by little.

Before I thought here the people are a little unfriendly because in my country people are very friendly when they greet people even thogh they don't know each other.

But after a while I found many friends from Russia. They were very nice and it was cool to talk to them. It is very fun and enjoyable to be able to study at INRTU. Thank again to INRTU for providing such an interesting experience for me.

Translated from Mongolian: I’m from Mongolia and I love studying at Irkutsk National Research Technical University because it’s much opportunity to increase my knowledge.

I have really enjoyed the broad range of modules within my course, enabling me to gain an insight into the different areas of information technology and experience its diverse and applicable nature.

I have great classmates from different countries and enjoy our time together. The instructors take the time to explain course subjects and are very supportive to students who require extra help. I’m really thankful to everyone from INRTU.

WHY I LOVE INRTU?

I went to INRTU last year. It was much better and more emotional, than I expected. I thought that there would be only study, but students have a lot of hobbies and entertainments.

I found many good friends and acquaintances in the university. The people here are wonderful. I am in the association of INRTU volunteers now. Thanks to my beloved university that I can continue my favorite activities.

Student time is the funniest and university students know this. Young people are preparing a lot of concerts and performances. This is good, because all the wonderful stories and emotions will be remembered.

INRTU, I love you. I still have 3 years of exciting study ahead of me! I'm happy!

The biggest difference between living in Indonesia and here in Irkutsk are:
Irkutsk is cold, and we have to adapt with the weather. Because in Indonesia we don't have winter, that's why winter is interesting new thing for us, people from equatorial area.
Irkutsk is good place for students, because Irkutsk is really cheap and every place has history in it. We also can get wonderful city and nature at the same time.

I spend my spare time to explore this city, it has a lot places to explore. My favorite place is “Ynost” island in Angara river. It's a beautiful place to go rather in winter or summer.
I think it's better to study Russian language in Russia, because we get pressure to learn more of Russian language, also we could practice anywhere and anytime. I went to some event and excursions in Irkutsk, held by INRTU. It was great time to know more about Russia, Irkutsk, and Russian language.

After my preparation courses I will take English program in International Business. I take English program because it's easier for me and they have program in English language in my major. Also, they have great lectures.

I feel myself more comfortable here in Irkutsk than in Indonesia and the cost of living is cheaper here. Russian people are very friendly. But this place is colder than Indonesia.

I spend my spare time mostly in dormitory but sometimes I love to walk beside Angara River. There is very beautiful view.

My Russian language classes runs well for now, the way of teaching is excellent, my teachers are very good and they are able to speak English pretty well.

I am going to enroll English-taught International Business program after finishing preparatory course. I think Irkutsk is a good place for students, so I will also take my Master’s degree here.

What I really like about Russia is the people who look not very friendly but actually they really care, especially for foreign students like us who are not very fluent in speaking Russian.
I like to go downtown and see buildings that look retro and classic, go to the market in the city center, or sometimes I just take a walk in the park on campus.

Michael is our Russian teacher, he teaches us not only Russian language but also some cultural things of Irkutsk, he is a cool teacher in my opinion. In my class, I have friends from other countries, such as Afghanistan, Syria, Ethiopia, Egypt, and Mongolia, we are all good friends. Russian is one of the most difficult languages, for now I am not fluent in speaking Russian or listening to native speakers but I already know some words when we want to order something or other simple everyday words.

I will enroll Russian-taught program, because the major I will take will use Russian as the language of instruction.
My future plan is to achieve my goals, which is to be able to speak fluent Russian and almost become a native speaker, and to continue my studies and use my free time to travel around Russia.
