This visit aimed to foster partnerships in executing aAffiliate Bachelor's Program in Business Administration.
The highlight of this endeavor was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between FTU and the University of New Brunswick, Saint John campus. This memorandum opens an array of academic choices and new horizons for Foreign Trade University students seeking to further their education in Canada.
During their interactions with leaders and faculty members of the University of New Brunswick, Foreign Trade University received commendation for its proficiency in education and collaboration, which significantly contributed to the accomplishments of the University of New Brunswick. The Affiliate Program, even in the midst of the Covid-19 Pandemic, remained largely unaffected.

Coinciding with the visit of school leaders, Dr. Dev Mitras, Dean of the Faculty of Management at the University of New Brunswick, organized a heartfelt meeting that united lecturers, students, and parents, culminating in a graduation ceremony. This served as a poignant moment for educators, students, and their families to reflect on their educational journey and share their insights gained through this productive collaboration.
The success of the negotiations during this mission sets the stage for both universities to build on this progress, implementing specific collaborative initiatives in the near future. This visit to the University of New Brunswick represents a crucial step forward in expanding Foreign Trade University's global academic network and ensuring a world-class education for its students.
