PARTICIPANTS ABOUT EXHIBITION

Today, at the exhibition, the Lithuanian Embassy to Azerbaijan is representing our higher educational system. We are trying to strengthen our cooperation in the sphere of education, and this exhibition has provided us with a magnificent opportunity to implement an interstate project.

Agne Limante, Assistant to Lithuanian Ambassador in Azerbaijan:

This is our first time in Azerbaijan and we really exited by the vibrant atmosphere on the exhibition. We see here lots of applicants interesting in our courses both undergraduate and postgraduate level.  It is a good experience being here, and we definitely come to this exhibition next year to represent our university.

Stephan Bland, Director of Department
Leeds Metropolitain University, UK

There are many Azerbaijani students in Russian universities. We are here representing nearly 30 Russian state universities that provide education in more than 500 medical, engineering, economic, and humanitarian subjects (Bachelor's, Master's, Ph.D). The first day of the exhibition showed us that Azerbaijani youth are interested in many specialties, among which the most popular are medicine and economics.

Victoria Egorova, Foreign Students Manager, RACUS (Russia):

The purpose of our participation in this exhibition is to attract students wishing to study in Switzerland. The Swiss Education Group participated in the previous exhibition. As a result, we found our first students. But we have so many people wishing to study at our school. Of course, it makes sense to continue our work, to do promotion through this exhibition.

Sabina Bagirova, representative of SEG (Switzerland):
