Indians in Russia : Why Do Ambitious Indian Aerospace Engineers Choose Moscow Aviation Institute ? A LOOK AT WHAT MAKES MOSCOW AVIATION INSTITUTE A LEADING ENGINEERING SCHOOL IN THE REGION

摘要

“Doing masters in a foreign country is always challenging because there is a lot of change. However, it’s definitely worth it and Moscow is a wonderful destination for such an experience.” — Aamer Sheriff For several decades, Russian scientists had been proving to be world pioneers in aerospace engineering, yet the international cooperation with foreign research institutes and industrial companies was highly restricted. As the so-called ‘iron curtain’ fell in the early 1990s, with a blink of aneye, an undreamed of chance to learn the approaches of the Russian engineers appeared. The Russian engineering schools with rich and unique scientific background started gradually opening their doors for the global community of the aerospace industry and academia. Since then, the Russian approaches in research and education initially built on the Soviet traditions have been modernized, making Russian technical education even more attractive for international students and researchers.
