- Ural State University has long-standing and strong ties with colleagues from China in terms of professional personnel training, - comments Natalia Anashkina. - We face challenges: increased cooperation between universities of the two countries, training of world-class specialists, formation of a joint vision of development of personnel and scientific cooperation. And we deal with them successfully. USURT annually hosts dozens of meetings and round tables on science and education in the transport industry, in which representatives of China participate. Special education programs have been developed to meet the requirements of time, and students from China are regularly admitted. There is an active program of academic mobility, a program of double diplomas. At present, our university is a reliable academic partner for universities of China.
