International Cooperation Faculty

General

Foreign specialists training is a very important component of the complex activity carried out by the Belarusian National Technical University in the sphere of international cooperation.

Starting from 1960, the BNTU has trained students from Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. About 6500 of the BNTU foreign graduates from more than 120 countries have worthwhile jobs in their home countries. Some of them have become ministers, directors of industrial enterprises, heads of research and education establishments or chief city architects.

Foreign specialists training is carried out at the BNTU International Cooperation Department (ICD) by highly qualified academic staff. The opening of the Scientific and Innovative Laboratory of Information Technologies with the support of the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany and DAAD Information Center in Minsk upgraded the teaching process and put distance learning methods into practice at the BNTU.

Nowadays, 1500 foreign students from 48 countries study at 16 BNTU faculties on contractual and budgetary basis, as well as in the framework of intergovernmental and interuniversity agreements. In 2014-2015, within the framework of intergovernmental agreements BNTU prepared 106 specialists for Garlyk Mining and Processing Plant (Turkmenistan).

To increase the foreign students' enrollment, the BNTU has signed numerous cooperation agreements in the sphere of international education with the People's Republic of China, Vietnam, Turkmenistan, Nigeria, Syria, Iran, Iraq, and many other countries. Our University has also signed the cooperation agreements on Master's and PhD training with the double academic advising in the field of alternative and non-conventional energy sources.
