From the very beginning of COVID-19 virus crisis in Russia, a special support is given to ISU foreign students, who stay in Irkutsk. The University provides this assistance in collaboration with ISU Students’ Union and partner organizations.

- “The lockdown regime and distance learning became a new challenge for the majority of students and lecturers. Foreign Students in Russian Higher Education Institutions have been in a weaker position. Irkutsk State University has not ignored this problem and provided the assistance for foreign students who stayed at the dormitory.” – Prof. Konstantin Grigorichev, ISU Vice Rector for Research and International Cooperation, commented on.

Meals were organized for ISU International Students as well as finance assistance. Food packs, essential household items, personal protective equipment (face masks, gloves, and hand sanitizers) were delivered to students.

In 2019-2020 academic year over 600 foreign students are training at ISU. At present, the major part of them is abroad and studies online. Students from China who have been studying at ISU Preparatory Course were the first to start distant learning in February 2020.

Irkutsk State University expresses its sincere gratitude to Russian students as well as partner organizations for the assistance to international students. Among the partners are the Public Chamber of the Irkutsk Region; Hotel “Rus”; Consulate General of People’s Republic of China, Consulate General of Republic of Korea, Consulate General of Mongolia, Foundation “Ikhsan”, and Roman Catholic Diocese of Saint Joseph in Irkutsk.
