The programme and the setting
SPbPU offers study across engineering, energy, computing, physics, biomedicine and business. Its English catalogue separates bachelor’s, master’s and research study.
Projects, laboratories and research
Choose the subject and degree level before comparing languages. English business bachelor’s options do not mean every engineering bachelor’s degree is taught in English.
Teaching language and your qualification
English availability depends on the subject and degree level. Compare the programme title, awarding qualification and teaching language in the current catalogue with the course on your offer.
Look at the modules, laboratory work and final project as well as the degree title. For postgraduate study, compare entry prerequisites with the subjects and projects in your existing qualification.
