Julia Kromp, Germany, University of Potsdam, Master's student. BSU trainee under the GoEast Scholarship program
In 2019, I came to Russia to continue my studies at Baikal State University, located in the beautiful city of Irkutsk. I chose BSU because I heard a lot of good comments about the city and university from my teachers in Germany.
I wanted to improve my Russian, so I attended a lot of various lessons during the first semester, including the Russian language practical course, introduction to linguistics, and many other disciplines. The International Faculty and BSU have a great atmosphere: all students and teachers are friendly, open-hearted, and always ready to help with anything. I am so happy that I visited Russia, Siberia and studied the Russian language and culture with native speakers.

Qi Qi, China. Bachelor graduate of the BSU's International Faculty with a degree in Russian as a Foreign Language
Our group had 11 Chinese students majoring in Linguistics. All of them successfully graduated, four with an honors degree, including me.
In 2020, I won the International Student of the Year at BSU annual contest, and I am still delighted with it. It's a double achievement to become the best in a country with the culture, language, mindset, and traditions different from those in China.
I am so grateful to all teachers at the BSU’s International Faculty for the knowledge they gave us. All of us remember BSU and miss our student life in Irkutsk! We wish the university success and prosperity and want the teachers to be healthy and happy.
