PSU students have successfully completed their internship at Assyut University of the Arab Republic of Egypt. Pyatigorsk State University maintains active relations with its traditional foreign partners, including Egypt for many years. Our students spent a whole month at the University of Assyut.

They practiced Arabic and learned about the history and culture of the pharaohs.

After successfully passing the exams at the university, the students went for three busy days to the capital of Egypt, Cairo. They visited the famous citadel of Salah ad-Din, the Church of St. Mary, Al-Azhar University, visited the famous market of Khan al-Khalili and most memorable – saw the Pyramids of Giza.

Thanks to this trip, students not only significantly improved their language skills, but also gained valuable experience, expanding their horizons and gaining new knowledge!
