Convenient location of a five-minute walk from the metro station, comfortable dormitories close to Higher School of International Educational Programs and an opportunity to try different cuisine (Russian, European and Chinese) – all this makes it one of the most attractive institutes in Saint-Petersburg.
We see our main goal as development of skills and knowledge, and training highly qualified experts. We focus on the output that can secure solutions for intellectual challenges, development of new technologies, services and products, as well as companies involved in progressive industries of Russia.
The major division of the Institute is a Computer Engineering Center which is assigned for digital modeling, new materials development and additive manufacturing. And this makes it possible to target promising markets and take sustainable position. The Institute has been actively seeking to international partners to work on joint engineering projects aimed to develop progressive manufacturing technologies ensuring new level of quality.
The Institute traces its history back to the old Faculty of Physics and Mechanics of the Polytechnic University. The balance between the quality education and good research practice has become the priority for the educational process at the institute. This principle was pioneered by Dr. A.F. Ioffe – founder of the faculty of Physics and Mechanics.
The Institute is pinpointed on an adequate balance between the fundamental training in mathematics and mechanics and practical knowledge to improve experimental, computational, engineering, and computer competencies. This makes possible to fulfill such tasks as to develop competitive technologies and output , and to create advanced equipment as well.
Our graduates are able to define and produce a solution for applied and fundamental tasks in mathematics, physics, engineering, and economics. They are also trained as to become high-level developers in IT and software.
The institute involves academic departments and research centers which are headed by the renowned scientists, such as Sukhorukov G.B. (h-index – 87), Bezprozvanny I.B. (h-index – 55), Severinov K.B. (h-index – 51), Yudin V.E. (h-index – 16). The institute can boast partnership with companies around the world which allows for students’ practice outside Russia and helps land a job anywhere in the world later on. Their employers are the highly-regarded research centers, pharmaceutical companies, and medical organizations.
Our Institute has been going ahead for already three years in terms of applicants’ enrollment. Driving activity of the Institute captures the image of SPbPU as the first place to enter when reasoning about engineering professions. Besides a large range of Bachelor’s, Specialist’s Master’s degree programs in Russian the Institute of Civil Engineering is welcoming all the students who are willing to boost international engineering career and is offering Master’s degree programs, which are taught in English and very popular among students.
While studies our students are offered to go for a semester to any of our partner-university abroad, mainly in Europe. On top of that the most conspicuous feature about education at the Institute is an opportunity to be enrolled for a highly sought-after Bachelor’s program Industrial and Civil Engineering. It is the double-degree programme which went through international accreditation. This programme is run in accordance with international standards and ensures high quality of education and significantly helps our graduates to become truly competitive on the labor market.
The Institute’s activity is targeted at bringing together engineering and information technologies. Analyzing the market trends and demand for experts we provide training in the most promising fundamental and applied areas of computer science:
-
software engineering;
-
control, engineering and computer technologies design;
-
сyber security;
-
сyberphysical systems, “internet of things”, and robotics;
-
highly efficient methods of computing based on “Big Data” and “Cloud Computing”;
-
brand-new computing technologies and quantum informatics.
Our students are involved in the scientific research and practice at specialized training centers and well-equipped laboratories. All this inevitably assures their professional development. It has become a common practice for our students to be awarded with grants, diplomas. Our students are often seen as Top-3 prize winners at local and national contests.
Evidently, our remarkable feature which enables us to stand out among other universities is management of our brand-new supercomputer center which objective is to push for progress and secure solutions for the issues associated with challenges of modern society and real-life environment.
Two progressive faculties with long history – Electromechanical and Power Engineering – form the backbone of the Institute of Energy and Transport Systems.
Its success stems from the proficiency of its academic staff and long-standing teaching traditions. Developing energy industry, electrotechnics, hydraulics and defense industry of Russia, scientists and graduates of these faculties have immensely contributed and reached considerable results.
If you’re thinking to grow into a professional in such areas of expertise as maintenance service of multi-purpose electrotechnic, electromechanic, and electrophysical equipment, power control, transmission and distribution of power, our institute could become a perfect step on your way to pursue a successful career. We train highly qualified experts in electrical and heat engineering and transport machine-building as well.
Lots of our graduates work for such world-renowned companies as Gasprom, Lenenergo, Roskosmos, Rosatom, Rusgidro, TGK, FSK and many others.
The Institute of Humanities following its reach development track was founded in the Polytechnic University more than twenty five years ago. The Institute of Humanities provides all the university’s organizational units (institutes) with training and courses of the major foreign languages. Besides linguistic sciences the institute offers higher education programs in humanities, sociology and economics.
We are proud of our graduates, who are highly sought after by employment agencies due to professional knowledge and competences acquired at the Institute in the following areas of proficiency: international and regional studies, linguistic sciences, PR and advertising, legal studies, publishing, pedagogical and psychological studies.
