Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University opened a new joint program at the SCO Institute of Trade and Economics in Qingdao (Shandong Province) to prepare Chinese applicants for admission to Russian universities. At the signing ceremony, our university was represented by the Director of the Center for Russian as a Foreign Language of the Higher School of International Educational Programs, Alexey Pavlov, and the SCO Institute was represented by its Director, Zheng Shi.
We have been cooperating with the Higher School of International Educational Programs of SPbPU for two years now with the help of our regular partner Globus International Ltd. And now we are opening a center where schoolchildren will not only study, but will also have the opportunity to take the Russian language exam according to the TRKI system. This is very important for Chinese applicants and their parents, – said Mr. Zheng Shi.
For his part, Alexey Pavlov noted: I have personally observed the huge interest of Chinese schoolchildren in studying at Russian universities. I am confident that our center will have a long and successful career. Qualified teachers from the Higher School of International Educational Programs of the Polytechnic University will participate in both the preparation of Chinese applicants and in the advanced training of Chinese teachers of Russian as a foreign language.
Director of the Higher School of International Trade and Economics Viktor Krasnoshchyokov called the opening of the center a logical stage of fruitful cooperation with the SCO Trade and Economic Institute.
Improving the quality of training for Chinese applicants is our top priority. The Higher School’s methodologists are constantly improving the methodology for teaching Russian outside the language environment, he emphasized.
The strongest school of engineering education of the Polytechnic University enjoys well-deserved authority in China. We strive to fulfill the high standards set by the state for the number of foreign students, while not reducing, but constantly improving the quality of their training. This is impossible without the introduction of innovative forms and technologies of training, one of which is the creation of remote preparatory departments, – summed up the Vice-Rector for International Affairs of SPbPU Dmitry Arsenyev.
