Novosibirsk, May 15, 2025: Novosibirsk State University and Chongqing University, one of the leading universities in China, will open a joint educational program in physics in September 2025. The Chinese Ministry of Education approved the application of the two universities. This program will be the first joint program with a Russian university at Chongqing University. The pilot student intake will be 60 people with the prospect of increasing to 120 students.
The program will be a bachelor’s program, and the training will be conducted according to the 3:1 scheme: students study at Chongqing University for three years, and in the fourth year, two trajectories are provided – to continue their studies in China or to go to Russia.
— We and our partners have done a lot of preparatory work to collect information and describe the project, and have passed a two-stage selection process. At present, we have received approval from the Ministry of Education of China. This will be an English-language program, it will start working in September 2025, the pilot enrollment will be 60 people. In the future, we plan to double the number — up to 120 people. At least 30% of the disciplines in the curriculum will be taught in person by teachers Physics Department of NSU: they will start going to Chongqing University already in the new academic year, said Evgeny Sagaydak, head of the education export department at NSU.
The launch of the educational program is part of the comprehensive cooperation between NSU and Chongqing University. In November 2024, the two universities opened a joint center for fundamental research in physics, mathematics and mechanics.
— It was a smart and strategically correct decision when we simultaneously began working in both the educational and scientific research areas. The teachers and scientists who will come to Chongqing will not only teach students, but also conduct joint scientific research with their Chinese colleagues, — added Evgeny Sagaydak.
NSU and Chongqing University are also discussing the creation of a master’s program in physics so that students can continue their education at the second stage of higher education. In the future, NSU does not rule out the possibility of opening joint bachelor’s programs in other areas of training.
