This will allow students to gain unique learning experience in different educational systems, become fluent in a foreign language, as well as a competitive advantage for their future careers. All NSU students, regardless of citizenship, can apply and be selected for any program.If you're interested in Asain culture, take a look at programmes held together with the University of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). Undergraduates have a choice of two master's degrees: in management and in information technology.
