Why did I apply to INRTU? I always wanted to study in Russia, so I just searched for Russian universities and filtered the results by language, course, city's cost of living, and availability of discounts/scholarships. Naturally, INRTU came out on top, so I applied instantly.
At the moment, I am pursuing two Master’s programs: MBA: Global Management and Leadership and Information Technologies, Networks, and Big Data. Combining them is not too difficult with the help of my lecturers and the university’s administrative staff. Yes, I have a lot of lessons at the same time, but I make arrangements with the lecturers beforehand if I’m going to miss a class. Most classes in one of my majors are also online, so I can record them and listen to them properly later. I also make sure to submit all of my tasks on time to get automatic grades where applicable.
When I do something, I always set a goal for myself, and once that's set, I don't shift it and always fight for it, even if it looks impossible.
