The key task of the university is to provide a comfortable learning and living environment for international students.
For this purpose, the university has been actively working on the Adapters programme, which has been helping first-year students to adapt to the new conditions of the educational process and enter the new practice of social and community relations.
In 2021, the Centre for Adaptation of International Students was opened in the university. Together with the Adapters programme, the Centre holds round tables, organises work with other student associations of the university, conversation clubs, excursions, as well as helps students to comply with the requirements of the Russian Federation legislation on migration registration and visa services, and provides assistance in language adaptation.
