We always support and take care of international students. At present more than 500 international students from 38 countries study at Polytechnic. A significant part of them are students from Kazakhstan. They study at the bachelor's and master's level, there are also postgraduate students who are preparing to receive a scientific degree. Our friendship with Kazakhstan is facilitated by the absence of a visa regime between the countries, simplified migration procedures. There is a fairly large community of Kazakh students and graduate students in Saratov. And we will gladly welcome new students from Kazakhstan and do everything to make their studies in Russia comfortable and productive", - Evgeniya Tokareva said.
