During the meeting, Rector of NSU, Elbrus Isayev, provided information about the history, development, and current activities of the university. He emphasised that NSU, which has a modern and multi-profile education system, is one of the leading higher education institutions in the country with its modern campus located on an area of 108 hectares. The university maintains direct partnerships with nearly 150 universities across the world, with Turkish universities occupying a prominent place among its international collaborations. In addition, among the contingent of approximately 1,800 international students from 23 countries, students from various regions of Turkiye stand out in terms of numbers. The Rector highlighted the university’s multifaceted approach to personnel training, noting that NSU offers programmes in nearly 250 fields. International collaborations are being strengthened through initiatives such as the IELTS and SAT Registration and Examination Centre, the IBM Centre, the Technology Park, and other structures and projects.
