successful and has great prospects.” The rector reminded that BHOS
students distinguished themselves at international competitions

Speaking about Baku Higher Oil School's cooperation with Chinese
companies and universities, Elmar Gasimov noted that successful
cooperation has been established between the leading Chinese IT
company Huawei and BHOS.
“As part of the cooperation that began in 2019, the company
donated laboratory equipment to BHOS that can be used for teaching
and research purposes. Our students excelled in a number of
competitions organized by the company and were awarded certificates
and gifts as winners. In addition, this academic year, within the
framework of the Interstate Scholarship Program, three Chinese
students were enrolled in the master's program in Oil and Gas
Business at Baku Higher Oil School. This is the first such
experience for BHOS, and we believe that the reputation of Baku

students at BHOS,” he said.
