Within the framework of the dual degree program implemented at the master's level between Baku Engineering University (BMU) and Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture (BUCEA), 8 students will depart for the People's Republic of China tomorrow.
At the meeting organized at the university on this occasion, Atraba Gul, Vice-Rector for International Affairs of BMU, stated in her speech that the program not only provides students with the opportunity to obtain two diplomas but also creates conditions for their development in an international academic environment, familiarization with various scientific schools, and growth as competitive specialists in the global labor market.
It was noted that the Chinese higher education system is distinguished by its discipline, high academic requirements, and strong research traditions. Education in this environment will deepen master's students' theoretical knowledge and develop their practical skills and independent research capabilities. The Vice-Rector also emphasized that the program jointly implemented with BUCEA is an important component of the university's internationalization strategy and opens up new scientific, technological, and cultural opportunities for students.
