Moscow Polytech brings together students from different countries and helps each of them find their own path for professional and personal development. The story of Emeonu Godsgiift Daberechukwu from Nigeria is an example of how studying at the university combines with creativity, new acquaintances, and big plans for the future.
Godsgiift chose Russia for his higher education, partly due to scholarship support for international citizens.
"I chose Moscow Polytech because of its system of education. Besides classes, the university offers a lot of practical work and projects."
An important factor for the student was the content of the educational program he chose. The "Economics of Enterprises and Organizations" specialty matches his interests and life plans:
"I chose this specialty because I'm a communicative person, I'm attracted to the business sphere, and in the future I plan to become an entrepreneur."
According to the student, Moscow Polytech creates conditions not only for getting a profession: "Moscow Polytech has given me excellent opportunities for development. Besides my studies, I also sing in a vocal studio."
Godsgiift started singing as a teenager — he got his first performance experience in a church choir. Since then, he has performed on a wide variety of stages, including international ones:
"There have been so many that I've lost count."
Recently, the student and the Moscow Polytech vocal ensemble visited Yekaterinburg, whеre they performed at an international youth festival.
For an international student, performing is not just an extracurricular activity, but a source of energy and inspiration:
"When I perform on stage, I feel joy and never want it to end."
A special place in Godsgiift's student life is occupied by communication. The university's international environment helps students meet people from different countries and exchange cultural experiences.
"What I like most about student life is communication and meeting new people — yes, I've found friends here, and I'm sure this friendship will last for a long time."
The international student greatly values the university's staff and the teachers he has met at the university.
"The teachers here are excellent, and all the people I've encountered are pleasant and ready to help."
Advice for the first-year students:
To international students, and indeed to all students just starting their studies, Godsgiift advises focusing on their studies, but at the same time being open to new things and keeping a close eye on the opportunities around them at Moscow Polytech so as not to miss them.
The student's story shows that studying at Moscow Polytech can become a foundation for several achievements at once: a professional start, creative development, and new friendships.
