First graduates of the preparatory faculty (podfak) of Kuban State Agrarian University were awarded diplomas.

Preparatory faculty where foreign students can learn Russian language, culture, as well as the subjects needed to prepare for the entrance examinations for one academic year has resumed its work in the university.

KubSAU won the Ministry of Education competition and received the right to educate foreign students on podfak: for its international students the state has allocated 40 quotas.

First graduates were awarded diplomas by Vice Rector for International and External Relations T. N. Polutina. Tatiana Nikolaevna congratulated the graduates who had come to our university from around the world: "Everyone who studied at podfak acquired new friends, some of you found your other half, and each student in a short time became fluent in Russian, started to understand our culture. I wish you success with the entrance exams!"

Students were encouraged: for now they are ready to learn a specialty and become professionals here in the hospitable Kuban.
