Not only can they get high-quality teaching, but the cost of studying abroad is also within the acceptable range of most people. Inside." said Liu Jing, a student in the Economics Department of Moscow University.

The cooperation between the two countries has increased, and there has been a shortage of talents in the field of translation between China and Russia, and there has been a situation of short supply for a period of time. Accepted in Moscow universities The number of Chinese students educated has increased several times in 7 years. Studying in Russia has become a popular option for Chinese students, and Moscow is also one of the top cities for Chinese students to study abroad. The factor that attracts Chinese students is not only relatively low tuition and living expenses. There are also unique majors. In 2019, China sent 24,226 international students to Russian universities. Chinese students mainly choose Russian, economics and social sciences majors and construction, mechanical manufacturing and other engineering technology majors. The most popular postgraduate majors are Art, education and economic management.” said Zhao Shuna, a student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Moscow University.

It is expected that this number will continue to rise.
Chinese students pointed out that studying in Russian universities will greatly improve their competitiveness in job hunting.
However, most Chinese students still tend to return to their country for employment rather than work in Russia.

It is very difficult for Chinese students to find a job in Russia after graduation, unless they start their own business and enter a Chinese company. Find in Russia A good job requires a high level of language foundation, not only limited to textbook knowledge, but also to communicate without a trace. After graduation, you need to use methods such as submitting your resume to find a job, so it is very difficult. Graduated from a Russian university After returning to China, Chinese students still have to rely on methods such as submitting resumes to find jobs, but they have overseas study experience and have a broad international outlook. If they have a certain internship and campus experience during their study abroad, it will be a lot of extra points." Yang Gefei explained Say.
"I have been studying abroad for several years. After graduation, most of the international students chose to return to China for development. Because of the aggravation of the epidemic this year, it is still difficult to find a counterpart job in Russia, but it also leaves us with plenty of opportunities. For example, I found a company in Moscow this summer to do an internship in online public relations. After graduation, returning to my hometown to find a job is the choice of most of my classmates. According to the situation of my friends around me, I still have a great opportunity to find a suitable job. In recent years, there have been more and more Chinese students studying in Moscow, and the friendly Sino-Russian relationship has brought us more opportunities. As international students, we can experience it best.” Ju Yunhui, head of the Chinese Press Group of Moscow University, pointed out .
Shao Kuicong, an international journalism student, believes that finding a job in Russia is not that difficult, because more of his classmates decide to stay and work in Russia.
"Due to the rapid development of modern media technology and the advent of the self-media era, journalism has always been in great demand for outstanding journalists with good professional skills. At the same time, the friendship between China and Russia has continued to deepen and develop. The'Belt and Road' initiative In-depth progress, the economic and cultural exchanges between China and Russia are getting closer, and the foreign students are proficient in Russian and understand the culture of the two countries, so it is not very difficult to find a job in Russia. As far as the students around me are concerned, the students who return to China and choose to live in Russia About half and half. This year, due to the epidemic, it is much more difficult for international students to find employment in Russia than in previous years. International students returning to China after graduation are generally easier to find companies that conduct international trade with Russia or work in Russian education in China. Many students are engaged in large-scale enterprises working abroad.” said Shao Kuicong, a journalism student at Moscow University.
"In my hometown, nearly 90% of employers have recognized the experience of studying abroad. Chinese students studying in Russia have an advantage over other competitors when they return to China after graduation." Zhao Shuna said.
"After graduating from Russia and returning to China to find a job, there are still certain advantages. Nowadays, the friendship between China and Russia is stable, and the two sides have cooperation in trade and other directions. The domestic demand for Russian compound talents is still very high. For example, I am from the Department of Economics. Students, when I graduated and worked, Russian and economics were my competitive advantages, and the success rate of employment was relatively high.” Liu Jing, a student from the Department of Economics of Moscow University, believes.
