New Year's SmartTest for Master's students of the International Management program!

Master's students summed up the results of 2023

While Ekaterinburg residents were shoveling their cars out of the snow and standing in traffic jams for 11 points, our master students were solving difficult problems of the annual SmartTest quiz. The teams were looking for answers to non-standard, but very interesting questions on outlook and logic, and the decisive in the game was a blitz-quiz with tasks for 30 seconds, where the teams had to guess 13 world brands by their creative advertising projects and slogans.

The program team holds such a New Year's Eve game every year for two important and equal goals: to unite students from more than 10 countries on the eve of a big international holiday, showing true Ural hospitality, and to develop their teamwork skills!

Kristina Artemyeva, program manager and organizer of the quiz, notes that it is important to let international students feel the warmth of the Urals, especially in such bad weather. This year, the students had the chance to find out what a real frost of minus 30 and below is like. Many freshmen overcame a long way to the capital of the Urals, difficulties with paperwork. But the guys come here because they appreciate the quality of education and the fact that they can count on support, sometimes 24/7.

Maria Malkina, 1st year student: "A small Christmas party turned into a sea of laughter and fun, excitement and challenges for the teams and each participant, because you need to be able not only to win, but to feel the importance of teamwork"

Ammar Mohsin, student from Iraq: "I have made wonderful friends here that warm my heart!"

We wish all students and faculty of the University a Happy New Year and a Merry Christmas!
