In addition, our university has a successfully functioning Preparatory Faculty for foreign citizens, where young people from Sudan could learn the Russian language. After the foundation course foreign students continue their studies at any of the numerous fields of training carried out by the university. Thus, this developing East African country can receive the highly sought-after professionals - architects, engineers, road specialists, power engineers, machine engineers, economists and many other branches of industry of the country.
