Now I'm a postgraduate student at PGUPS. I started dreaming of studying at this university when I studied at Tashkent Institute of Railway Transport Engineers, and I was dead set on continuing my education here. Many of my teachers in Uzbekistan graduated from the alma mater of Russian engineering. It was they who inspired me to follow this way.

On the very first day, I was agreeably surprised at hearty welcome from the staff members of the International Relations Department. They helped me adapt to the city that was strange to me back then. Now they've become near and dear to me.

PGUPS teachers are out-and-out professionals. They use plenty of information delivery methods depending on the course content being studied. It is explained in a student-friendly language with lots of examples. Here you can gain knowledge to become a good specialist, gain experience from brilliant educators. The university also offers lots of opportunities for the full development of the human personality.

I entered PGUPS under advice from my acquaintances and I never regretted it. This is a university with a rich history, nice buildings and classrooms.

All the teachers I had at PGUPS are out-and-out professionals. At the lessons, they not only explained the theory but also provided plenty of cases from real companies. Finally, when I got a job after graduation, I managed to get into gear very quickly from the first days. I lived in the newly refurbished department-type dormitory in downtown opposite the Peter and Paul Fortress. I think I couldn't ask for better living conditions.

I graduated from PGUPS in 2015. I warmly recall the years of my studies at PGUPS. I've been still keeping in touch with my fellow students and some teachers.
