Zhang Mingzi, Beijing, China.
Third-year graduate student in art history.
I learned Russian at home, in China. But upon arrival in Saint-Petersburg I understood that my accent is disturbes me. On the first year occasionally I was afraid to ask a question because I thought that teachers won’t understand me. At the very beginning they noticed my fear and began to give a tasks and list of what I need on classes in writing and helped to figure out in lectures.
Almost immediately I’ve made friends with guys from my course and the level of my Russian increased quickly. By the results I graduated The University of industrial technologies and design with a red diploma, entered the master’s, become the member of Saint-Petersburg Union of designers. I became a creator of four clothing collections, specialist and curator of The Preparatory Department for foreigners in respective university.
Roman Fisher, Cologne, Germany.
Graduate of the Department of economics and finance on the profile marketing, participant of international student exchange program.
When I came to Saint-Petersburg the only one thing that I could speak is the weather. By the way, winter took me by surprise and I was always cold. Clothes that I took were unsuitable for such severe weather. I always asked questions to everybody: teachers, fellow students, passers. And it played into my hands, everyone answered with pleasure, helped, supported me and always wondered how it goes. I started to consume knowledges quickly and I made a lot of friends. By the result all that happened to me in university has acquired great value. I stayed in Saint-Petersburg and opened a small business thanks to studies and skills acquired at the university. Now my company goes for export.

Saint-Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design is one of the biggest universities in our city and there is nobody who wasn’t heard about it. I am very pleased that in addition to various areas of training specialists, the university has various sports sections, creative associations in which people will be able to reveal and show their potential. I would like to mention the Department of management, where we conduct all our training. I am very pleased with the teaching staff. All teachers are very competent in their subjects. In particular, I would like to mention Professor Titova M. N. and associate professor, Candidate of Economics Shulgina L. A. These teachers are not only professionals in their scientific and managerial activities, but also in the issue of helping students. Their lectures are very interesting, they help us to think deeper, demonstrate our skills and abilities, reveal our potential, and it encourages us to come to their classes more often.
