On June 24, 2025, a solemn graduation ceremony took place in Saint Petersburg, Russia, honoring the graduates of Saint Petersburg State Chemical-Pharmaceutical University, the country’s leading specialized university and one of the top Russian institutions for training professionals in the field of pharmaceutical industry.

The festive event was held in the Imperial Hall of the prestigious five-star Talion Imperial Hotel, one of the city’s most iconic historical venues, highlighting the significance of the occasion. Diplomas confirming the successful completion of five years of French-language studies were awarded to 88 graduates from Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia — countries where the university is particularly popular due to a notable shortage of qualified specialists in pharmacy. Throughout their years of study, the graduates underwent intensive academic and practical training, gained in-depth professional expertise, and are now fully prepared to apply their knowledge in international pharmaceutical practice.

A heartfelt highlight of the ceremony was the congratulatory speech delivered by the Director General of the RACUS group of Russian state universities, A. Nutsalov: “On behalf of all the staff of the RACUS group of Russian state universities, I sincerely congratulate our graduates on the successful completion of their studies at Russia’s TOP 1 pharmaceutical university. Today, you are receiving not just a pharmacist’s diploma, but a ticket to a future filled with professional opportunities. May the knowledge and experience gained during these years become a solid foundation for a successful career. I wish you confidence, ambition, and the realization of all your goals. Your parents’ investment in your education will undoubtedly pay off within one to two years, as Russia remains a leader in this field from a financial point of view.”

The RACUS organization extends its warmest congratulations to the graduates on reaching this important milestone and wishes them continued professional success, career advancement, and a bright future.
