    I had an amazing experience with MIPT's preparatory course,
    which provided me with essential language skills and a strong academic foundation.
    The university's commitment to excellence in education ensures students receive the best opportunities globally. The course introduced me to Russian language, culture, and life in Moscow through organized events. Living on campus allowed me to meet people from different countries and cultures.
    The course was a wise investment in my future, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking higher education in Russia.

    As an international student from Vietnam, I was apprehensive about studying in a foreign country and learning a new language. However, MIPT's faculty and staff provided me with unwavering support and helped me overcome my fears.


    MIPT also offers various opportunities for academic and personal development, expanding students' horizons, fostering creativity, and improving communication skills. My personal experience has been positive and satisfactory.
