Université d'État électrotechnique de Saint-Pétersbourg V. I. Oulianov « LETI »

Faculty of Computer Science and  Technology was organized  in 1931. It was the first in department the country for teaching in the areas related to computer equipment, software, information systems and technology, computer security.

It is the largest faculty of the University,  preparing IT specialists corresponding to the world standards.

There are bachelor, master and postgraduate courses.

The main objective of scientific researches of the facuty is concentration of potential of research and educational personnel in creation of technologies of new knowledge generation and their commercialization in the advanced enterprises and companies of Russia. Among priority directions of scientific researches at the faculty are artificial neural networks in control systems and digital information processing, management in structurally difficult dynamic systems, management and diagnostics on the basis of neuro – fuzzy technologies, recognition of images and processing of images and many others.

Scientists of the faculty with LETI’s  strategic partners accomplish actual research and original applied developments and numerous of them win the relevant national competitions and receive state support. Among the most significant of such developments is the integrated project "Creation of hi-tech production of hydroacoustic stations for the prevention of emergency situations at oil and gas production platforms in ice conditions".

Saint Petersburg Electrotechnical University "LETI" Faculty of Economics and Management, established in 1928, originally provided advanced training to engineers. FEM’s present-day mission is to transfer international community’s skills and competences in science, management and technology to the society to facilitate its economic development through university graduates’ knowledge, modern research, know-how and consulting.

FEM offers two-tier education: bachelor’s degree (2 years) and master’s degree (4 years).

Three-year postgraduate programmes are available as well.

The faculty trains specialists in

• Management

• Quality Management

• Innovations

It operates Information Technology in Business laboratory with research and education capacity, Education Quality Management Centre and Information and Guidance Centre. FEM boasts lab space with unique state-of-the-art equipment, a major asset in its internationally recognised research and researched-based education it provides. Saint Petersburg Electrotechnical University “LETI”, jointly with FEM, played a major role in shaping the quality education management system at Russian universities.

Demonstrating a successful development strategy, FEM is Russia’s leader in quality management. In 2010, FEM Management and Quality Systems Department opened a branch at Certification Association “Russian Register,” the biggest internationally recognized Russian certification and expert organization. It presented an opportunity to students, postgraduates and teachers to participate in planning and conducting audits and certification of quality management systems at commercial and state-owned companies. They could henceforth review the newest audit methodology and current research tracks pursued by International Standards Organisation committees.

FEM has partnership relations with Russia’s large leading companies and centres. A consortium of business and science secures sustainable development of the sector and prompt linking of theory with market-dictated practical needs. The prominent business people involved in teaching are a visual example of successful career cases and a powerful incentive for students.

Saint-Petersburg Electrotechnical University "LETI" is proud to be the only university in Russia which is a member of EUN.TQM (The European Universities Network for Total Quality Management). EUN.TQM trains MSs in the field of quality management.

FEM liaises with leading EUN.TQM universities and develops its education programs to meet high international standards.

FEM offers internship and partial study abroad scholarship for a range of programmes.

A FEM graduate is a specialist having profound knowledge in natural sciences with matching training in engineering. Theoretical and practical skills in economics, management, marketing, quality management and innovations enable young specialist to cope with challenges in their work.

The faculty marked its 15th anniversary in 2014; its alumni are doing well at science-intensive innovative companies, consulting and audit firms and financial institutions.

Faculty of Industrial Automation and Electrical Engineering was founded in 1920 being one of the first ones at LETI.

There is two-level system of training at the faculty that allows its graduates to be integrated into the European zone of higher education and to participate in international programs of academic mobility.

There are following educational directions of full-time study:

• 27.04.04 "Management in technical systems"
• 13.04.02 "Electroenergetics and Electrical Engineering"

There are ten new educational and scientific laboratories equipped with advanced industrial equipment and created together with the largest companies. They are equipped with modern educational and research stands and multimedia equipment, that help with realization of research purposes and tasks.

The faculty cooperates with both domestic and foreign companies. Partners in the Russian Federation are: JSC “EleSi” (electronic systems) (Tomsk), CJSC “Avtomatika RUS” (St. Petersburg), JSC “Kovrov Electromechanical Plant” (Kovrov), LLC “Simens” (St. Petersburg), CJSC “Navis” (St. Petersburg), HC "Constellation of Aquarius" (St. Petersburg), HC "Leninets" (St. Petersburg) and many others. The foreign enterprises - partners of the faculty are: "Schneider Electric", "Eurodrive", "Omron Electronics", "Autodesk", "Inductoheat", "Siemens", "ABB-Dortmund", "SMS Elotherm", "FP&HO", "INL". 
Besides, the faculty carries out international activity with higher education institutions abroad. For example, since 2006 the faculty has realized joint educational program in equipment and automation together with Lappeenranta university of Technology (Finland) for training of masters according to "Two Diplomas" scheme.

The aim of the program is training of qualified specialists familiar with the European standards and the latest developments in electrical equipment and automation for development of  Russian-Finnish joint ventures in the northwest federal district of the Russian Federation and the southeast of Finland. 
Graduates of the faculty work as designers, developers, engineers, project managers in the areas of oil and gas industry, power, equipment of civil aviation, shipbuilding, instrument making, mechanical engineering and other perspective industries.

Faculty of Electronics of "LETI" is one of the leading scientific and educational centers of Europe in the field of high technologies of modern electronics.
In the Russian Federation the faculty is the founder of x-ray, vacuum and plasma electronics, electronics of ultrahigh frequencies, solid-state electronics, optical and quantum electronics, nanotechnologies.

There is two-level system of education: bachelor degree and master course. Also there is a possibility of training in postgraduate study.
