On March 1, 2025, in Johannesburg (South Africa), the delegation of the group of Russian state universities RACUS presented educational opportunities of Russia at the international education held in the luxurious Johannesburg Marriott Hotel Melrose Arch. The exhibition gathered delegations from such countries as Russia, South Africa, Botswana, England, and the USA.
The event attracted a significant number of future students, their parents, and relatives interested in getting high-quality and affordable higher education. The guests were able to get detailed information about the opportunities of studying at Russian universities of the RACUS group, in-demand specialties, and admission conditions.
The Study in Russia—2025 stall became one of the central points of the exhibition, attracting the attention of applicants interested in obtaining a diploma recognized at an international level. The RACUS employees provided consultations on current educational programs with affordable tuition fees, explained the stages of admission, document requirements, and prospects for entering the labor market soon after graduation.
Medical and engineering programs with tuition in English and Russian languages have traditionally aroused the greatest interest due to the high demand in the labor market of South Africa. A particular prestige is gained by the graduates of the universities that were accredited in South Africa with the support of the RACUS organization, such as Saratov State Medical University, Astrakhan State Medical University, and Tambov State University. Diplomas of these universities open wide career prospects and are in demand among the leading employers of the country.
The exhibition in Johannesburg demonstrated the high interest of South African youth in Russian higher education. Many of future students' parents noted that Russian universities of the RACUS group are an excellent alternative to universities in Europe and North America due to the combination of top-quality higher education, affordable prices, and broad career prospects.
It was a great pleasure to meet the alumni, in particular, graduates of Saratov State Medical University, who visited the exhibition in order to express their gratitude to the RACUS organization and the university for the support on the way to obtaining high-quality education and building a successful career in the field of medicine.
Within the framework of the RACUS organization visit to South Africa on February 27, the General Director of the RACUS organization, A. Nutsalov, and the Minister Counselor of the Russian Embassy in South Africa, V. Yakovlev, had a meeting in the Embassy of Russia, where the issues in the sphere of education were discussed.
The International Education Exhibition in Johannesburg once again proved that investment in education is the main guarantee of success in the future.
