In those years, our university began to work closely with MSU. Thanks to this strategic partnership, students went on exchange trips, teachers took internships, prepared thesises and received doctoral degrees. Indeed, he made a big contribution to development," said Acting Chairman of the Board - Rector Renata Apergenova.
