International student fair in Minsk from February 14 to 16, 2019
For the first time, France was represented in the Education Fair in Minsk in the wake of the launch of a Campus France Office in February 2018.
France’s presence is increasing in the view of Belarusian students, thanks to the quality of its offer of training, and by the presence of the Franco-Belarusian Centre for Political Sciences, and European Studies (CFB, in French), and institution that is still today the only entity in Belarus with a foreign graduate training program.
As a stakeholder of the Bologna Process since 2005, Belarus is determined to improve strategic partnerships towards Europe for its academic projects. There are many opportunities in the field of engineering in the broad sense, and most particularly in automobile and aeronautics. Information Technologies, company management, agronomy, medicine, civil engineering and architecture are also fields in which European know-how is sought after.
A few figures:
The total number of students in Belarus was set to 284,000 students in 2017/2018, of which more than 10% are enrolled in study courses in foreign countries. There are more than 5,000 students learning French as first foreign language (30%) and as second language (70%). In the future, the number of French learners in the higher education cycle should increase, given the comparatively solid position of the French language in primary and secondary education, with 22,000 learners. French language is set at the fourth rank among foreign languages taught in Belarusian schools.
In addition, the number of foreign students welcomed in Belarus doubled in six years to reach 15,126 registered in Belarusian universities (2,000 more than last year), representing 4.8% of the total number of registered students in Belarus.
All these aspects convinced us to make France participate again in the Education Fair in Minsk from February 14 to 16, 2019.
