Forbes magazine published a ranking of 20 Russian universities with the best employer reputations for 2025, placing Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University sixth among Russian universities and second among St. Petersburg universities, behind only St. Petersburg State University. This year, the Polytechnic University improved its position by two spots (in 2024, it ranked eighth). Forbes Education conducted a survey of leading Russian employers, which included 168 organizations from various regions representing 43 economic sectors. All of these companies offer competitive salaries and optimal working conditions, are distinguished by transparent corporate governance, and adhere to ESG principles.
Respondents identified the educational institutions whose graduates they considered the most prepared and preferred to hire. Employers also identified universities that were leaders in the following areas of study: economics, technical sciences, marketing and communications, natural sciences, creative industries, and humanities. Universities were awarded points in two categories: "Overall Reputation" (70% weight) and "Industry Reputation" (30%).
The Polytechnic University's reputation index was 75 points. 36.2% of surveyed employers trust the quality of training at SPbPU, an 8.3% increase compared to last year.
This is a well-deserved result, highlighting our strategic focus on developing students not only academic knowledge but also the practical skills necessary for a successful career. We are seeing growing trust and a clear demand from the real sector for our students, who, while still students, are already implementing projects for our industrial partners," comments Rector Andrey Rudskoy.
According to Forbes, the most popular fields of study at Peter the Great SPbPU are: economics and management (18.7%), computer science and computing (8.6%), construction engineering and technology (8.2%), mechanical engineering (7.9%), and electrical and thermal power engineering (6.8%).
At Polytechnic University, our reputation with employers has always been a key priority. We work tirelessly to ensure our educational programs meet the latest industry requirements, develop partnerships with leading companies, and create conditions for our students' practical training. Our sixth place in the Forbes ranking is a credit to the entire university staff, faculty, and, of course, our graduates, whose hard work and professionalism confirm the high quality of our education. This motivates us to move forward," noted Vice Rector for Human Resources Maria Vrublevskaya.
