Diverse Student Body
Currently, UTM hosts around 400 international students among its diverse student body. Bostan aims to increase this number, reflecting the university’s dedication to global education.
Practical Learning Approach
UTM’s focus on practical, hands-on learning, especially in engineering, ensures that graduates are not only theoretically proficient but also capable of applying their knowledge in real-world projects. This approach is highly valued by industries, particularly the fast-growing IT sector in Moldova.

Future Collaborations with Indian Universities
Bostan envisions closer ties with Indian universities to foster joint academic cooperation and research. He sees great potential for collaboration given the excellent reputation of Indian universities.
