Visit from MIIT University Moscow
In November 2008, 15 final year undergraduate students from MIIT University in Moscow, Russia, became students of the University of Portsmouth for one week. The students of MIIT, a university which specialises in railway management and engineering, came to Portsmouth Business School to take part in a series of lectures on Finance. They also took the opportunity to visit a number of companies with links to the transport industry including Siemens Depot, Network Rail and St Pancras-Eurostar station.
The students, who completed their programme on Thursday 13 November, were presented with certificates of attendance at the Spinnaker Tower, Gunwharf Quays, by Linda McCormack, Business Development Director at Portsmouth Business School, and Dr Peter Andrew, Principal Lecturer in the Department of Accounting & Finance.
MIIT is the largest university specialising in railways and transportation in Russia and believes that its students benefit greatly from international experiences, both in terms of improving their English language levels and learning about global finance from a western perspective.
