Both sides achieved the expected result: were reached the agreements on increasing the number of joint undergraduate and master programs for students from SAU, and also was agreed a plan and form of exchange between two aerospace universities.

In September 2018, MAI expects the first students from SAU who will begin their studies with other international students.
