BNTU Summer School: comprehensive education and vivid emotions

On Monday, July 15, 2024, the Belarusian National Technical University opened its doors to students of the Department of Economics and Industrial Management of the Faculty of Engineering Technologies of the Tashkent State Technical University named after Islam Karimov (TSTU). We share how we got acquainted with the Polytechnic and studied in the first days.

For reference: the BNTU summer/winter school, in addition to academic training, provides a unique experience of getting to know our country, culture, and other students, as well as provides unique opportunities for personal growth.

Anastasia Volkova, Head of the Department of International Programs, Exchanges and Protocol of the Faculty of International Cooperation, delivered a welcoming speech at the solemn meeting dedicated to the opening of the summer school. She spoke about the results of the activities of the Belarusian-Uzbek Interdisciplinary Institute of Applied Technical Qualifications, the work on the implementation of the roadmap for cooperation in the field of activity of the advanced engineering school "Digital Engineering" for 2023-2024 between TSTU and BNTU, further prospects for cooperation between BNTU and TSTU.

Anastasia Arabey, Dean of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, invited the guests to visit the laboratories of the faculty and asked about the features of the admission campaign in Uzbekistan and the specifics of submitting documents online.

Tatyana Sakhnovich, Head of the Department of Engineering Economics, thanked the administration of TSTU for the warm welcome and internship of the students of the department (December 18-25, 2023). She also expressed her intention to further develop cooperation with the Department of Economics and Industrial Management of the Faculty of Engineering Technologies of TSTU.
