PetrSU Students Are Studying at Xi'an International University

08 October 2025

Two students from the Institute of Philology at Petrozavodsk State University have received a unique opportunity to study free of charge under an academic mobility program at a partner university in China. The fall semester will run from September to December.

Maria Danilova and Lidiya Tarazanova, students majoring in Linguistics (specializing in Russian as a Foreign Language and Chinese), have joined the Chinese language program at Xi'an International University.

The main advantages of this program are:

Flexible schedule. Courses are available in the spring and fall semesters.

A variety of levels, from beginner to advanced, ensures everyone can find the right one.

Comprehensive approach. Classes cover all types of language activities – reading, writing, speaking, and listening.

Cultural immersion. Language learning is accompanied by an introduction to the traditions and customs of China.

The Chinese language program will undoubtedly allow participants not only to improve their language skills but also to establish valuable international contacts during their studies.

A significant achievement awaits all program participants: upon completion of their studies, they will be able to take the internationally recognized HSK-3 exam.

The students are delighted to have chosen this program. They have already shared their impressions and photographs from China. The photos feature ancient architecture, modern buildings, and cozy corners of the Xi'an International University campus.

Thus, PetrSU's academic mobility programs allow all students to gain international educational experience, broaden their professional horizons, and immerse themselves in the culture of another country. Petrozavodsk State University continues to develop its international exchange programs, opening up new opportunities for its students.
