Lobachevsky State University of Nizhni Novgorod (UNN) – National Research University was the only one of Russian universities to participate in Mexico Agent Workshop & Edu Expos 2015, the country’s largest higher education fair which was held in the business centre at Sheraton Mexico City Maria Isabel Hotel from February 12 to 15. UNN offered a wealth of information and guidance to inspire and interest Mexican students who came by UNN stand at the Expo to find out more about the undergraduate and master’s programmes, Russian language and culture courses and summer schools available at Lobachevsky University.

The UNN stand attracted more than 1,000 visitors.

On February 16, UNN delegates met with a representative of Russia’s Federal Agency for the Commonwealth of Independent States, Compatriots Living Abroad, and International Humanitarian Cooperation (Rossotrudnichestvo) in the United Mexican States, Mr. Ponomarev. An arrangement reached between the two institutions ensures there will be wider opportunities for Mexican students to enroll in our Pre-University, undergraduate and master’s programmes taught in Russian or English as well as to learn the Russian language. The arrangement will facilitate inter-university contacts. And a range of methodological support and special events will be available through this cooperation.
