Arya Naradi Iswara, Indonesia

I went to study in Russia under the intergovernmental agreement between the Russian Federation and Indonesia. In the beginning, I studied at the university’s Russian Language Center, and only then I entered PGUPS and became a first-year student. Studying was interesting and difficult. If I had any questions or difficulties, I was helped not only by the students but also by the teachers.

I graduated from the university in 2022. I studied at the Faculty of Transport Construction, and my specialization was Construction of Railways, Bridges and Transport Tunnels.

Don't be afraid of anything, come here, the university is always waiting for you!
