Public Organizations

For over 10 years USU has enjoyed a strong relationship with the German-Russian Friendship Society in Ulyanovsk’s sister-city Krefeld. The German partners have offered generous financial, material and technical assistance and helped arrange internships for USU students with major German companies. For several years, USU has provided translation assistance to city administrations of Ulyanovsk and Krefeld, which exchange regular visits as part of their close collaboration. USU theater majors have for a few years enjoyed the opportunity to visit the partner city where they performed and attended master-classes at the invitation of Krefeld city council. Currently, USU with the assistance of Krefeld German-Russian Friendship Society and German Embassy in Russia is discussing with DAAD, German academic exchanges council, the possibility of having its representative on the university campus, who would among other things oversee preparation courses for DHS, or German as a foreign language exam. Since 1997, USU has maintained a successful relationship with Russia Culture Center (Seoul, South Korea), which has been of invaluable help in establishing ties with Korean organizations working in the fields of science, business, culture and arts.

Among recent developments is participation in Oxford Russia Fund program, which provided 75 scholarships for USU humanities majors for the 2006-2007 academic year.

To promote academic exchanges, USU arranges regular meetings with coordinators of international educational organizations including ACTR-ACCELS, IREX, Fulbright Foundation.
