A solemn ceremony of awarding honorary diplomas to foreign graduates was held at the North Caucasus Federal University. The most active students from far and near abroad received diplomas and certificates for special achievements.

Vice-Rector for Strategic Development Nikita Avralev congratulated graduates from Angola, Gabon, Yemen, Ivory Coast, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Turkmenistan and other countries:

– Thank you very much for choosing NCFU a few years ago. I hope that it had justified and will justify your hopes in your professional career or at the next stage of training. I am sure that the acquired knowledge will help you achieve success in life and you will apply it in practice with great enthusiasm.

Today, about 1.5 thousand foreign students from 58 countries study at the university. This year, 299 diplomas were issued to foreign graduates, while 28 diplomas were with honors.

Alexey Ni, the winner of the Pride of NCFU University Award in the nomination "Foreign Student of the Year", a participant of many university, regional, Russian and international festivals, spoke on behalf of all foreign graduates, who thanked the university for the happy student years and the opportunities provided.

– I can't even list what opportunities NCFU gave me, - says Alexey Ni. – My leadership and creative qualities were developed at the university. Thanks to the university, I received a huge amount of knowledge, found friends from different countries and realized myself as a person. NCFU is forever in my heart. I'm leaving for my homeland, but I will always be a student of the federal university!

Many of today's graduates will continue their studies at the largest university in the region: they plan to enroll in a master's or postgraduate program. Others will soon begin to apply the knowledge gained at NCFU in practice around the world.
