The exhibition opened with a fascinating video presentation about Russian State universities constituting RACUS group and about Russia as a country of great opportunities.

It prepares qualified specialists in 162 specializations in the fields of medicine, economics, nanotechnologies, IT, industry, culture and arts and it for sure attracts foreign students as there are about 15000 students from different countries! The Medical Faculty of the Tambov State University deserves particular attention as its prime advantage is the possibility to obtain higher education in English, for example, degree in General Medicine.
At the exhibition the guests were extremely interested in Saratov State Agrarian University, where it’s possible to undergo Veterinary and Agronomy in English which certainly follows the economic demands of Zambia as agriculture accounts for 85% of total employment. The high level of practical training is due to the special educational facilities. The leading enterprises of the region are also involved in the process of studies, and this fact has a great positive influence on the practical professional training of the students and graduates of the university. Undoubtedly Zambian prospective students and their parents met with great enthusiasm the presentation of Saratov State Agrarian University.

Being graduates of Russian universities and successful specialists today, they talked about their experience, about how they loved their period of studies in Russia and how it was easy to find a job in Zambia.
