Ario Afiq Sukma, Indonesia. The preparatory faculty graduate
When I came to Irkutsk, I knew nothing, indeed. I didn't even know how to write the Russian alphabet. But as time passed, I began to understand and speak Russian.
I used to believe that Russian people were a little unfriendly compared to my compatriots in Indonesia. But I made a lot of friends soon. All of them are nice and frank, and they can keep any conversation going. I am grateful to INRTU for helping students adapt to a new environment. All the teachers try to help and unite us with our fellow students.

Sindy Mafina, Congo. The first-year student at the School of BRICS
I'd advise international students, who want to find new friends in a foreign country, to join some hobby club. Doing something fascinating, such as dancing or singing, you can meet a lot of interesting and gifted people, socialize with them, and just have fun together. Four months after I came to INRTU, I started doing ballroom dancing and found a lot of new friends.
International Student Adaptation
- Russian student volunteers become the first friends and assistants for foreigners from the moment of their arrival. They help them adapt to a new environment.
- For Chinese students, there are groups of tutors having a perfect command of the Chinese language. They help them adapt to life in Russia, learn the Russian and English languages.
- There are national communities for students from Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.
Maxim Pisarevsky, Kyrgyzstan. Master's program in Mechanical Engineering
I like that INRTU offers students from the CIS countries good scholarships for academic excellence to support them. My academic scholarship in my Bachelor's degree was around 6,500 RUB per month. When I embarked on my Master's degree, I got a scholarship from the Vladimir Potanin Foundation, and now I will get 25,000 RUB per month until I finish my studies. This financial aid helps me live more freely and covers food and transportation expenses and the dormitory fee.
Sports
INRTU offers international students over 40 clubs and student societies for sports, scientific, and cultural activities.

Novardin Rizkidwikusuma, Indonesia. Master's program in Oil and Gas Engineering
When I came to Irkutsk, I was so far from my family for the first time in my life. I knew only two Russian words: "privet" (hello) and "spasibo" (thank you). A few years later, when I became one of the best INRTU graduates, I proved that I could be ambitious and responsible.
I want to set a good example for prospective international applicants, especially young people from Southeast Asia. My wish is that they are not afraid to go to Russia. Studying hard is not enough to achieve success at a foreign university. You should improve your spoken Russian and communicate with local people.
