Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University

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.

Admissions and preparation

Review the relevant programme’s subject and language requirements. Foundation study and Russian-language preparation are also available.

• Start with your school or university transcripts and passport details.
• Identify the exact programme, language route and intended intake.
• Confirm the admission tests and required document formalities.
• Review the offer, contract and payment schedule before arranging travel.

Tuition and your full budget

Request current tuition for the exact degree and intake, plus accommodation. Include a preparatory year where relevant to a Russian-taught route.

Use our full-budget guide to keep confirmed figures, estimates and optional expenses separate.

Accommodation and life in St Petersburg

Explore the campus map, student residences and the institute delivering your course. Ask about laboratories, project work and international-student practical experience.

Confirm the room-sharing arrangement, kitchen and laundry access, residence rules and the journey to class. Discuss dietary needs and first-night accommodation before you travel.
