UrFU teachers will teach more than 150 citizens from Egypt to the Russian Language in Cairo

On July 22, 2021 Ural Federal University and Media Arab for Media Production and Marketing signed a bilateral contract about an opening of the Russian Language Center in the Arab Republic of Egypt. The Center will provide an opportunity to the citizens of Egypt to undergo the Russian Language Courses. The Russian Language training programs are developed in accordance with the needs of the local citizens: both, children and adults, and designed to enable graduates of Egyptian schools to participate in the selection process for admission and further higher education in Russian universities, as well as passing a test for any certification level of the state system of testing citizens from foreign countries in the Russian Language. 

The Center will also conduct cultural events and introduce the Russian Culture to the learners of the Center and visitors. 

The Center will be opened in Cairo in September, 2021. Media Arab for Media Production and Marketing is working on organizational issues and preparing the Center for the opening. UrFU is going to work on methodology of courses, provide all study materials and organize the studying process with the Russian Language teachers, who have necessary qualifications and broad experience in teaching Russian to foreign students to deliver classes.

In the near future the Egyptian party and UrFU are planning to open centers in other cities with the highest interest and demand in the Russian Language. 

The current capacity of the Center is 150 learners. 

The initiative of opening The Russian Language Center in the Arab Republic of Egypt belongs to the Preparatory Department for foreign students of UrFU, which welcomes hundreds of students from Egypt every year. 

“For the past years we have been maintaining very warm relationships with agencies in Egypt, we see a high interest of students to continue higher education in Russian universities and demand for professionals in the Russian Language in the country. For that, we were searching for reliable partners to easen the process of learning for a bigger number of audience. We believe that the Center in Egypt will help more people to get admission to Russian universities and enlarge career opportunities,” says admission manager of the Preparatory Department for foreign students of UrFU Mikhail Kopyrin. 

We remind, that the admission for 2021-2022 academic year has already started. For those willing to study the Russian Language at UrFU we advise to apply for the courses.
