I always wanted to try studying abroad and gaining knowledge in a foreign language. That's why I applied to study in Russia for a Bachelor’s program in Forest Management. Forestry specialists are in high demand in Congo. Soon I was given a place to study in my chosen field at BSU in Irkutsk.
I really like studying at BSU. I've never regretted choosing forestry as a field I'd like to dedicate my life to. This program turned out to be a synthesis of scientific, engineering, economic and management disciplines. In my spare time, I go to the sports center located on the university's campus. It’s very convenient because you don’t have to waste your time and money on gyms and sports clubs in the city.
I really enjoy real-life communication. I have a good, friendly relationship with Russian students. There was never any misunderstanding with anyone. During my studies, I gradually got used to Russian cuisine. I really like pancakes and pelmeni (meat dumplings). When I graduate and go back to Congo, I'll recall Siberia, Irkutsk and, of course, BSU with warm feelings.

It was they who told me about Irkutsk university that provides high-quality training in the Global Economy program. I’ve always found it particularly attractive. Compared to the universities in European Russia, BSU offers affordable tuition fees, and the quality of education and the learning process implementation are none the worse.
Although due to the coronavirus pandemic, we only have online classes this semester, it's very interesting for me to study at BSU. The university has a well-developed distance learning system, with high-speed Internet access on campus and in the dormitories.
It's also worth mentioning that the BSU dormitories are very modern, they are located in the city center, not far from the main university building. I like Irkutsk and its proximity to Lake Baikal. In the summer, my friends and I went on a quad bikes tour around Baikal, and we had a lot of positive emotions and impressions.
I think I'm very lucky to live and study in such a unique and beautiful place. After completing my Bachelor’s degree, I dream of continuing my studies at BSU. Also, I'd like to set up my own business in Irkutsk.
Scientific lecture courses are exciting classes where you can get acquainted with the future professions and the university while playing. Lecture courses are delivered by the university teachers, and sometimes by students themselves.
Taking part, you acquire new knowledge and skills which you'll be able to put into practice.
Sherlock Holmes Lecture Course
On the program: the forensics laboratory, the judgment hall, customs control, the special training center, an interactive shooting range, and many other things.
Around The World In 80 Days Lecture Course
On the program: meetings with experts in global economy, tourism, linguistics, economic security. You'll make a round-the-world trip, broaden your outlook in the field of country studies, learn how to size up to international situations, take part in the quest in English, do the logic assignments.
A Door To Enterpreneurship Lecture Course
On the program: how to generate a business idea, how to launch your brand, how to properly organize an advertising campaign, what team you should build for your business, how to calculate your budget correctly, how to register your business.
I've just completed my studies at BSU under the exchange program.
My main place of study is the University of Potsdam (Germany), where I study Political Science, Economics, and Russian Studies.
Unfortunately, it was impossible to enter Russia because of political decisions related to the coronavirus. So, the whole course was conducted online. This, of course, is not the same as being here.
However, studying online at BSU was a great experience!
What I liked most was my teachers' hospitability and interest in students. We were frank and open about everything. A Russian view on international economics and international politics is very interesting. Exchanging opinions on various subjects was really informative. I highly recommend Baikal University to everyone who is going to study in Russia!
My Russian has improved a lot this semester, and I look forward to coming back to Irkutsk when the borders are reopened.
