	Our students successfully compete in various academic competitions, complete internships both in Russian companies and abroad. All this is a result of teaching basic and applied disciplines at a high professional level, as well as professional community’s active involvement in the development of educational programmes. The majority of faculty members are industry experts in the tourism and hospitality sector. I wish to express my gratitude to the University community for this joint achievement!
