After finishing high school in Malaysia, I received a government scholarship and came to study medicine in Russia. Thus, my parents do not have to pay tuition fees. I want to become a heart surgeon. At Sechenov University, we have all the conditions for the successful study of my chosen profession and further practical application of the knowledge gained. After graduation and residency, I plan to come back home.

I made up my mind to continue my education at Sechenov University because it is considered one of the best in Russia. Our peoples have similar cultures and mentality. The most important thing is that you can get a highquality education here and become a sought-after specialist. Students have the opportunity to see state-of-the-art equipment (such as DaVinci robotic surgical system), which is not yet standard in Russia and most countries. I liked everything, and I have the most beautiful impressions of my Sechenov University study.

When my uncle learned that I want to become a doctor, he advised me to apply to Sechenov University. I got admission, and I am so happy. The training system is convenient. Our teachers help us to overcome the language barrier. During our classes at the clinical departments, we study theoretical courses first and then go to patients to practice and reinforce the material learned. Together with teachers, we discuss interesting medical cases and are present at surgical procedures. After graduation, I plan to finish the residency and then come back to work in China.

The program provides the knowledge required to enter the university and contributes a lot to the adaptation of students to Russia.

In our country, we have a special program to send us to study in Moscow with the tuition fee paid by the state. That's how I entered Sechenov University. After graduation, I will come back to Namibia to work as a pediatrician. The university has a good system of education, a high level of teaching. Our teachers give information in an easy-to-understand form but make us think. I attend lectures delivered in English and also learn Russian. I really like Russia and the Russian people. I have no problems communicating with them.
