He added that the symposium also provided window of opportunity for various links to top English Masters programmes and scholarship in Russian Federation as well as introduced programmes of NUST MISIS and their benefits to individuals and Africa as a nation.
The Brand Ambassador for MISIS to Ghana and Nigeria stated further that quality resume is a strong pillar of graduate admission documents that must be meticulously tailored to what is being applied for.
