When I came to Yakutsk, I didn't know a single word in Russian. That’s why I entered the NEFU Preparatory Department. After three months, I could already understand and speak Russian.
That’s really fantastic! I like Russian very much, it's melodious and rich. Then I entered the NEFU Institute of Finances and Economics, the Bachelor’s program in World Economy. Besides my Bachelor's degree, I obtained a Master’s degree in International Business, and now I’m pursuing a PhD degree in Geology, Exploration and Development of Minerals.
NEFU is a modern university, it has a big campus, lots of beautiful buildings, and a great dormitory.
Local people are open-hearted. I’ve made a lot of friends not only among foreigners but also among local guys. All of us lived like a big and united family. In 2016, I was elected the
NEFU International Club President and was very happy. Life in Yakutsk has changed me for the better, and I don’t regret coming here.

I entered NEFU in 2015. Now I’m a fifth-year student at the NEFU Institute of Medicine. I am dreaming of mastering the profession of an epidemiologist. I've changed a lot during my studies here. I realized that I was capable of many things. I've also become more communicative. I take an active part in research and the university’s social life. Besides that, I’ve learned to understand other people and their problems.
I make video clips about Yakutia so that people can see the beauty of the republic.
What I like most about Yakutsk is the people. They are hospitable and kind. Yakutsk has very beautiful nature. I can say to other international students who are still thinking about applying to NEFU that the university has everything you need for your studies. The teachers are approachable, they help foreigners. So, I recommend that you apply to NEFU.
NEFU offers grants covering up to 60% of tuition fees for international students
