‘Russian-style university’ to open its doors

The official breaking-of-ground ceremony of a joint Russian-Chinese University took place in the city of Shenzhen in China. The new university will be established on the basis of the Moscow State University and the Beijing Institute of Technology, reports Sputnik News.

This September the university will start enrolling its first students specialising in bio-ecology and nano-biotechnology. The courses will be taught in the English language. The programme stipulates that instruction in the university can also be conducted in Russian. Therefore, a Russian language centre will be built to prepare students. After graduation, the students will receive a diploma from the university along with a diploma from the Moscow State University.

This joint Russian-Chinese project will be created with the support of the government of Shenzhen City. By September, a temporary building of the university is planned to be opened and a permanent one will be inaugurated by 2018. It is reported that it will be designed in a “special Russian-style”.
