230 Myanmar citizens are currently studying at Russian universities.
In 2001 MPEI signed the first agreement for the
targeted training of Myanmar specialists with the Ministry of Sciences and
Technology of the Union of Myanmar. Since then, MPEI annually accepts a group
of specialists to study in the MPEI master degree for the most in-demand fields.
Before the admission to the master degree, applicants study the Russian
language for 1 year at the Preparatory Department of MPEI. Upon completion of
the master degree, some graduates get recommendations from departments for
admission to postgraduate studies. Since 2005, Ph.D.-students from the Union of
Myanmar have been studying at MPEI.

a nuclear power plant project with low-power reactors in Myanmar, the formation
of a positive public opinion on nuclear energy, as well as preparing for the
