Lobachevsky University's new successful initiative in Latin America

On 27 July, an online ceremony of awarding certificates to students of the pre-university training programme implemented jointly with the Latin American-Russian Association for Higher Education (ALAR) took place at Lobachevsky University.

Some of them will study at state budget-funded places within the quota for foreign nationals established by the Russian Government.
