Partnership with Beijing Total Education International

The company's manager, Xiang Li, and the student relations manager, Jiayin Liu, engaged in discussions with the university administration about potential collaboration aimed at expanding educational opportunities and enhancing international partnerships.

Yury Ramanouski, rector of Euphrosyne Polotskaya State University of Polotsk: “As part of the strategic partnership between the Republic of Belarus and the People's Republic of China, Polotsk University is actively working to promote our country's educational services, particularly our university, in the Chinese educational market. A key aspect of this concept is collaborating with companies that specialize in recruiting Chinese students.

Beijing Total Education International plays a crucial role in attracting students from China to Polotsk University while also fostering collaboration between our institution and various colleges, institutes, and universities in China. This partnership aims to establish a comprehensive suite of joint educational programmes and facilitate student recruitment.

It is essential to highlight our commitment to addressing the company's focus on training specialists in technical disciplines, including ground transportation operations, oil and gas transportation, oil refining, electrical engineering, and technology. We possess the requisite competencies that align with the demands of our partners and prospective students.

Representatives from the company visited our university to assess the presence of the necessary competencies. During their visit, we demonstrated our modern equipment, highlighted the efforts of our lecturers, and presented the scientific research conducted at the university. This meeting was significant in fostering mutual understanding and advancing our collaborative initiatives.

We are planning to initiate joint student recruitment in September 2025, specifically in the field of vehicle operation, in collaboration with the college with which we have established partnership relations”.

Representatives of the company explored the infrastructure and educational initiatives of Polotsk University. Their visit included an exploration of the Smart Education Center, creative laboratories dedicated to architectural and design disciplines, the Social Communications Laboratory, the Multifunctional Center, the Laboratory of Oil and Gas Transportation, and the Industry Laboratory of Oil and Gas Processing.

Oksana Golubeva, first Vice-Rector of Euphrosyne Polotskaya State University of Polotsk: "For several years, Polotsk University has engaged in a successful collaboration with Beijing Total Education International from the People's Republic of China. Through this partnership, we offer Chinese citizens the opportunity to pursue bachelor's and master's degree programmes in both English and Russian.

Both sides are satisfied with the outcomes of this collaboration. The successful experience of our joint efforts has resulted in a significant increase in the number of young individuals from China seeking quality higher education at one of Belarus's leading universities, which is entirely understandable.

Euphrosyne Polotskaya State University of Polotsk presents several attractive features for prospective students, including a diverse array of technical and humanitarian specialties that are in high demand in both Belarus and China, a highly qualified faculty, and innovative scientific and practical centers and laboratories that align with the fifth and sixth technological paradigms.

Additionally, a crucial aspect valued by students from the People's Republic of China is the guaranteed acquisition of authentic professional competencies through internships and pre-graduation practices at enterprises and organizations within our economy's real sector. Students appreciate the opportunities provided by Polotsk University for the enhancement of their scientific, creative, and athletic talents.

Both sides have reached a consensus on the necessity to expand upon this successful partnership. We have exchanged new ideas and established agreements for their implementation. I am confident in the success of our collaborative projects".

During an interactive tour "From the Past to the Future" at the Polotsk Collegium, participants engaged with the region's rich history of education and science. They examined the city's architectural masterpieces and delved into the heritage of Belarusian printing at the Museum of Architecture of St. Sophia Cathedral and the Museum of Belarusian Printing.
