The Rector acquainted the guests with the university’s facilities, the housing conditions provided for international students as well as introduced them to the education specifics due to the students transition to distance learning.

The digital learning platform developed at the university will enable the students to attend classes from any location. This process was adjusted and tested during the COVID pandemic and proved its efficiency”, said Oleg Polukhin. He also underlined that the students’ safety has always been and remains a major priority, taking into account the fact that the total number of students at the university exceeds 25,000.

The Rector paid the Ambassador's attention to the fact that Belgorod State University currently educates over 4,000 international students from 100 countries. University tutors and mentors assist in their adaptation to the new conditions. Besides, the International Information Centre specialists are available around the clock and are ready to provide any advisory support.
