Sakher Al-Tamimi spoke about UrFU

Recently the International Student Media Forum was held. It was attended by international students who are actively involved in social networking and promoting Russian education. Sakher Al-Tamimi shares his experience in writing and editing articles.

"I started working on the website of the university, which was a good opportunity for me to gain experience, skills and more interesting information about the Ural Federal University. I worked on the translation of the university website from Russian into Arabic.

The Ural Federal University is one of the most influential Russian universities in the world and national rankings. It is ranked 10th in Russia.

While working on the university's website, I got a lot of information that could benefit Arab students. This information helped me to promote and market the university. The university has over 4,600 international students.

The university infrastructure is highly developed. Our university has:

• 14 academic buildings
• 164 research laboratories
• 16 student dormitories
• 20 sports facilities
• 438 multimedia classrooms

The university works hard to attract students from around the world. UrFU has cooperation agreements with universities in various countries, including Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, Syria and other Arab countries.

I started working at the university in 2019. Until then, I studied and worked hard as an Arabic teacher and served as president of the Arab Union for three consecutive years.

During this term, many sports, cultural and social events were held, including the People's Friendship Festival, where students shared their culture, customs and traditions presented by each country in terms of food, dance, music and art.

I also won first place in the Russian Language Olympiad for Foreigners and first place in the football competition. Another important event of the Ural Federal University is the Student of the Year, where international students can participate and publish a project that works for the creation of a better university. I also participated in this event and it was a successful and unique experience. I also took part in the World Boxing Championships as a volunteer.

The Ural Federal University has been one of the leading universities in Russia for more than 100 years. It is located in the city of Ekaterinburg, the administrative center of the Ural Federal District.

According to one of the most authoritative international university rankings, QS World Ranking, UrFU is ranked 335th in the world. The best educational practices are successfully applied here and new internationally oriented programs are created.

The famous alumni of the UrFU influence the development of Russia and their countries. The honorary doctors of the UrFU are Miloš Zeman, former President of the Czech Republic, Nursultan Nazarbayev, the first President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Mikhail Gorbachev, President of the USSR.

That is why I believe that the Ural Federal University is the best university in Russia. Here everyone can find themselves and develop their educational level."
