More students from Africa are paying interest of studying at SumDU and not only medical degree programs but also to study degree programs in economic field and computer science. Such a summary could be made as a result of the visit of Vice-director of ARI FEM, assistant of the Department of Management Tetyana Mayboroda to Zimbabwe and Zambia by invitation of foreign partners in the beginning of March 2020.

Only 2 days for each country – it was a very intensive schedule for presenting SumDU in these countries.

Zimbabwe will be remembered as one of the longest working days, which started with interview in the live morning show “Good morning, Zimbabwe” at 7:30 a.m. on national TV channel Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation, after which – live on radio Power FM Zimbabwe, and after that – presentations of SumDU, consultations and meetings with parents and students who paid interest to study at SumDU at the partner’s office. At the end of the day – meeting with Minister of Higher and Tertiary Education, Innovation, Science and Technology Development, Prof. A. Murwira, Permanent Secretary, Legal Advisor and other Ministry’s representatives for discussion of cooperation perspectives and search for perspective partners for SumDU among Zimbabwean universities.

During 2 days in Zambia organizers arranged round-tables with parents and students for delivering more information about SumDU’s degree programs for study, questions-and-answers sessions about recognition of SumDU in the world and rankings, to give more information about SumDU’s campus, accommodation and hostels, everyday life of international students, extracurricular activities, about city of Sumy and life in Ukraine during studies.

“I keep very warm memories about people I’ve met, atmosphere and… perspectives. I do hope that after reduce of COVID-19 we will continue develop partnership and cooperation. And we do continue now, in on-line mode for now” – with such words ends her story our colleague on return back.
