On the eve of the "International week”, we will look into the Dean's office of the international faculty of the Flagship University.

The Dean's office of the preparatory faculty is full of students: listening to the conversation of the dean Irina Merkulova with a group of students from China, we understand that it is a rehearsal performance for the upcoming "International week" events.

What is this event "International week" and in what format is it planned to be held? How does one of the most unusual faculties of the Flagship University live today?  All these we asked the dean of the faculty Irina Alexandrovna.

The preparatozy faculty was established in 2014, - explains Irina Alexandrovna. - The initial purpose was the preparation of foreign citizens for admission to VyatSU and other higher education institutions of Russia, the key component of which was the teaching of the Russian language.

However, in a short time, the range of educational services was significantly expanded: we began to accept interns from foreign universities for training, and subsequently to develop a magistracy in the direction of "Philology" (profile "Russian as a foreign language"). In 2015, the first students on this direction were accepted. Finally, we opened a bachelor's program in "Linguistics", the profile "Russian and English for foreigners".

Today, more than 100 students from 11 countries (China, Congo, Uganda, Mali, Sudan, Iraq, Morocco and others) study at the preparatory faculty of the University.

What brings them here to Vyatka? Why do they choose VyatSU?

Of course, personal contact with those who have already received our education is of great importance. Word of mouth and personal recommendations are the best advertising. We really have something to be proud of: highly qualified staff, good living conditions in hostels, an atmosphere of care and attention in which our wards are immersed: after all, we perfectly understand that it is not easy for each of them to live far from their home country, to learn another's culture and unaccustomed traditions.

So slowly, but surely Vyatka region becomes familiar for foreigners, and the preparatory faculty of Vyatka State University is their second home where all conditions for successful study and development of talents are created. The students of the preparatory faculty decided to tell about themselves and their achievements during the "International Week", which will be held from April 23 to 27.

This year "International week" will be held in a new, large-scale format, its program is extensive and diverse!

Football match, Russian language Olympiad, presentation of the cultural traditions of foreign countries in the framework of the event "My country, amazing and unique", the meeting of foreign students with the rector of VyatSU Valentin Pugach and, of course, a gala concert!

Students of the preparatory faculty will welcome guests from all institutions of the Flagship University. It will be a unique opportunity for all of them to learn more about distant countries, and therefore, about the modern world in all its diversity.
