Ƶ’s Media Center continues its tradition of interviewing new admittees.
The youngest freshwoman is Karina Maksimova, a political science student – she is 16 years old. As she shares, she was admitted to elementary school at the age of five, “I had all the necessary skills to be a first-grader, so the parentss decided that would a good opportunity to become a qualified professional before all my peers.”
Maksimova says about her decision to enroll in Ƶ, “Having read about the staff and the educational process on the website, I understood that I can acquire the necessary expertise at this university. It is also highly ranked in various ranking systems.”
56-year-old Rustem Siraziev decided to advance his professional knowledge by choosing a master’s course in psychotherapy.
“I’ve been working as a clinical psychologist for 20 years. I have a degree in medicine. But I want to obtain a certificate in psychotherapy as well. It will be an honor to be among the Ƶ graduates,” he notes.
Siraziev is not in any way concerned by his considerable age gap with classmates, “I am used to working with people. I am definitely not bashful to be sitting at the desk with younger people.”
