In April 2017, organization RACUS run a specialized educational expo tour in three most important regional centers of Zimbabwe – the cities of Bulawayo, Mutare and Gweru. These three exhibitions are strategically important for the development of cooperation between Russia and Zimbabwe in the field of higher education, as they allow a larger number of young people in Zimbabwe to obtain information about Russian higher education and to enroll in the leading universities belonging to the group RACUS.
Over many years, Zimbabwe's highly qualified personnel, graduated from Russian universities, hold prestigious jobs in the fields of medicine, oil and gas engineering and information technology. This fact motivates more and more Zimbabwe’s youth to obtain higher education specifically in Russian universities.
The invitations to attend the exhibitions were sent to the teachers and students of public and private schools of all three cities. All visitors of the exhibitions received detailed consultations about Russian education system and about the diversity of the proposed areas of studies in more than 500 medical, engineering, economic, and humanitarian specialties for getting Bachelor’s Degree, Master’s Degree or PhD.
Many school students had an opportunity for the first time to learn about obtaining higher education in Russia and to get answers to their questions. The managers of RACUS representative office in Zimbabwe were pleased to show special presentations about the specificities of exciting student life in Russia and about the variety of climate conditions, because the universities belonging to RACUS group are located from the north to the south in various places of the European part of Russia providing a wide range of opportunities for future students.
All visitors of the educational exhibitions were given information brochures about higher education in Russia and souvenirs, as well as invitations to individual consultations to the office of the RACUS representative office in Zimbabwe in order to start their admission for 2017/2018 academic year.
