Russia has undergone significant changes after the Soviet's collapse. In the past thirty years, Russia has engaged in a gamut of structural shifts as aspects of its stages of transformation from the Soviet era. Those measures have noticeably impacted on various sectors including education. In this article, we are specifically focusing on the structural innovations that the largest North-Eastern Federal University has introduced in its operations and in academic curriculum, in addition, provided an environment to meet the challenges of learning vocational skills, technical engineering, and medical specialties for both local and foreign students in this contemporary times. Situated in the vast Siberian region, in the city of Yakutsk (Sakha Republic), and has two other campuses in Sakha (in Mirny and Neryungri), North-Eastern Federal University is one of Russia's ten federal universities with 90-years history, officially established in April 2010, within the system of reforms carried out in Educational Institution of Higher Education. It is interesting to note, in the first place, that the North-Eastern Federal University was named after Maxim Kirovich Ammosov, a prominent statesman, an outstanding son of the Yakut people, one of the founders of the state of Yakutia and Kyrgyzstan. Over the past decade, this university has focused on solving geopolitical problems and meeting the human resources needs of the large inter-regional investment projects in the Russian Federation. With this human resource training in mind, it has broadened the geography of admission and extended the chance for foreign students, particularly from Asia and Africa. These students highly appreciate its (university's) well-developed infrastructure of scientific and educational complex which has modern equipment for learning and training, and for the development of basic and applied research in all the specialties. The university's annual reports (2021 and 2023) show that Asian and African students are primarily attracted due to affordability, a classic learning environment, and intercultural friendships. With increasing popularity during the past few years, applications have surged, and significant strides have also made it possible to appear in QS University Rankings of BRICS, the informal association of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. The ascension of new members such as Ethiopia, Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, further offers the signals of hope for more foreign students moving to this region. Recognizing its true potential for expansion, the university officials have frequently visited Asian countries such as China, India, and Vietnam, and also several African countries including Cameroon, Ethiopia, Egypt, Morocco, Nigeria, and South Africa. Foreign students are offered several scholarships and study grants, contract students are given discounts for meeting certain basic conditions and criteria. Dr. Anatoly Nikolaev, the amiable rector of the North-Eastern Federal University, often refers to his university as one of the unique educational hubs created, within the framework of post-Soviet transformational changes, to radically address the challenges and opportunities of Russia's burgeoning corporate business sector and dynamic entrepreneurial landscape. It has adopted several innovative measures and the necessary educational tools to navigate the labor market by introducing asynchronous learning modules, providing a comprehensive and engaging approach to application and learning processes. "Ultimately, in today's changing labor market, our local and foreign graduates easily secure employment in different sectors based on the shared skills and knowledge acquired in NEFU. On our persuasive part, we encourage our staff to focus on teaching aspects of the curriculum such as comprehensive innovation, strategic thinking, and ethical leadership in real-world contexts. With Russia's role and status rising in the global community, so also we as educators and trainers have to review and restructure our educational assertiveness and dynamics to make a wide-ranging impact and integrate into the competitive regions and in the changing world," underlined by Dr. Anatoly Nikolaev.

It also believes that financing your education is a partnership that continues throughout your enrollment, not just for your first year.

The University guarantees students discover their field of study interests and scope provided by the university degree whereas the parents get all their answers regarding the safety and comforts of the students during their stay.
