Program Background

   With the development of “the Belt and Road” strategy, China has more closed cooperation with countries of the Silk Road Economic Belt. Russia is the largest strategic partner, Sino Russian relations have been upgraded to a new stage of comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership. China and Russia signed a large number of cooperation agreements in the fields of railways, energy, finance, science and technology, trade and communication. Some large enterprises and institutions need to recruit a large number of professionals proficient in Russian. At present, there are a lot of Russian professional colleges and universities, but the high level of Russian and professional knowledge is still very scarce. Under the times background of the Silk road Economic Belt, the cooperation with Russia, Middle Asia, East Europe increasingly warming. Proficient in both Russian and master professional knowledge of composite Russian talents will come in handy.

   Jilin University, located in the hinterland of the Northeast Asia, has the geographical advantage of the exchange of Russia, and also has a long-term basic cooperation with the Russian University of Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU). From 2002, Jilin University began to develop China-Russia Joint Training Program in the major of Physics with TPU. Students should learn basic courses of physics in Jilin University (including Russian) and then study in TPU for the next stage. If the students finish the learning, they can obtain graduation certificate and degree certificate both of the two universities. In 2008, the project was included in the national college entrance examination plan. In 2013, Jilin University and the Russian National Research University of TPU got the approval of the Ministry of education for undergraduate project.
