The history of cooperation between Chelyabinsk State University and other higher educational institutions of the world dates back to 1994, when the university became a participant in the international TEMPUS programme. The result of cooperation within TEMPUS was the acquaintance of the university administration, its teachers and students with the model of the organisation of a classical European university. The experience of working together with leading universities of the world later allowed us to create a plan for the development of CSU and its transformation into an educational institution of a new way, which, among other things, assumed the solution of such issues as ensuring the availability of education, improving its quality and searching for more effective methods of conducting the educational process.
Today, international cooperation is one of the main priorities of Chelyabinsk State University. The multidisciplinary international development of the university provides its students and teachers with a wide range of opportunities to apply and improve their professional skills, and also helps to constantly improve the educational process.
