A Vietnamese student won a ticket to the International Russia-Far East International Summer School at the Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU).

“The selection involved Vietnamese students interested in learning the Russian language, our culture and international relations in general. Candidates were evaluated on motivational essays and portfolios. I want to believe that the winners, having seen the Primorsky Region and the campus on Russky Island, which is considered one of the best in Russia, will want to return here more than once, perhaps even to continue their studies, for example, in Master’s Programs” said Evgeny Vlasov, FEFU Deputy Vice President for International Relations.

They will be able to see the sights of the Primorsky Territory, meet the residents of the region, and this should only strengthen their motivation”, said Liu Thi Nam Ha, Director of the FEFU Representative Office in Vietnam.
