John John, the United Republic of Tanzania. The Master’s student at the Institute of Biomedical Systems and Biotechnology
SPbPU is a university with an excellent reputation. There are a lot of students from other countries here, from Africa among them. I speak English and can easily communicate with other students. The university professors are always willing to help us. I’ve made a lot of friends.
There are many language clubs at the university, with practice in Russian, Arabic, Spanish, and other languages. I go to PolyUnion Club myself, and it’s a great idea to get enthusiastic students together.

Ahmed Abdelrazek, Egypt. The PhD student at the Institute of Energy
I’ve chosen Polytechnic University because it has an impressive reputation in nuclear power engineering. Our teachers are craft professionals. Students have the opportunity to make progress in science, write and publish articles, do research. Besides, I’ve made a lot of friends both from Russia and other countries. I was afraid of bad weather, but I really like living here. SPbPU is a beautiful and friendly university with a rich and long history and vast opportunities for international students.
