OUR RECTOR'S GLOBAL ADDRESS:
Rector of the International University
of Fundamental Studies
Mahatma Santi P. Jayasekera
Greetings to all seekers of Truth! In our demanding and uncompromising times, the need for specialists with fundamental knowledge is at an all-time high. However, many of us know how difficult it is to find such exemplary individuals.
For those who aspire to receive a universal education, master the latest worldviews, and most importantly, meet the qualifications required to be indispensable in business, production, and creativity, the doors of IUFS are always open!
Our University is unique in its nature and purpose: responding to the changing needs of the times and the material and spiritual development of humanity, IUFS is underpinned by a multi-level educational process that employs innovative philosophies and methodologies.
The goal, subject, and result of training at IUFE focus on the interaction of various principles aimed at integrative education. With a highly qualified faculty, IUFE instills in its students a powerful thought and behavioral paradigm: the “paradigm of interaction".
This paradigm stands in opposition to the "paradigm of violence" that has brought and can still bring much suffering to our troubled planet. Given its geopolitical position, Russia and St. Petersburg are especially suited for fostering meaningful interaction between the peoples of the West and the East, the North and the South. IUFE rightfully serves as a center of such interaction.
For those who wish to gain new knowledge and practical skills according to the new educational methodology developed based on the programs of the Oxford Educational Network, the IUFS is here for you. On behalf of the Rectorate and the Academic Council, I invite all who seek the education necessary for a successful life and career in the 21st century to enroll in the International University of Fundamental Education.
