On October 31 and November 1, 2026, a specialized Study in Russia education exhibition was held in the city of Douala, Cameroon. The event was organized at one of Douala’s largest schools for students of the grades 11–12, who are already choosing their future profession today and determining where they will continue their education after graduating from school. For the high school students, the exhibition became an opportunity to get closer acquainted with the Russian higher education system, learn about fields of study, admission conditions, and the prospects of studying at Russian state universities belonging to the RACUS group.
The students showed particular interest in professions that open up broad opportunities for career development: medicine, engineering specialties, information technology, economics, oil and gas, and other programs in demand on the labor market. For many participants, studying abroad, in particular in Russia, is an opportunity to go beyond familiar boundaries, gain international experience, master a profession, and build a successful future.
The school students actively asked questions, discussed their choice of specialties, and shared their plans. Behind each question stands a personal goal. To gain a profession. To become independent. To fulfil your abilities. To help your family. To return as a qualified specialist and achieve success in your country or on the international labor market. All visitors to the exhibition received colorful promotional and informational brochures and souvenirs. Many of them are already considering Russia today as a country where they can obtain a quality higher education and take the first serious step towards their dream.
The Study in Russia exhibition in Douala demonstrated the high interest of Cameroon’s youth in Russian higher education and the desire of the new generation to gain knowledge, a profession, and opportunities for further development.
