Talking about MGIMO — in Chinese! 🇨🇳

On July 13, the MGIMO International team met with students from our partner school in China, Beibo Dehan Foreign Languages School in Sanshui. The event took place at the Gorchakov Lyceum as part of the Russian International School project.

Together with Maria Matveeva, a third-year student at MGIMO's School of International Economic Relations, we delivered a series of lectures and interactive sessions — all in Chinese.

We discussed the history and current development of Russia–China relations, introduced students to MGIMO's academic opportunities, and talked about the educational and career prospects the University offers its students and graduates.

One of the highlights of the event was the presentation of the MGIMO International School Olympiad for Foreign Citizens. This year, for the first time, school students from China will get the opportunity to participate in the contest. The attendees learned about the Olympiad's format, discovered the opportunities it offers to prospective applicants, and even tested their knowledge by taking part in an interactive quiz based on Olympiad tasks.

To commemorate the event, all participants received gifts from the MGIMO International merchandise collection.

The most rewarding outcome of the meeting was the students' genuine enthusiasm for the Russian language, studying in Russia, and learning more about MGIMO. We hope to welcome many of them soon — first as Olympiad participants, and later as MGIMO students!
