Novosibirsk State University (NSU), together with the Center for Public Diplomacy, is launching a unique international-class program aimed at training schoolchildren in Burkina Faso. The pilot project will start on October 1, 2025, and includes intensive Russian language training, followed by two years of computer science and mathematics courses adapted to NSU requirements. Representatives of NSU and the Center for Public Diplomacy announced this today at a press conference at TASS as part of the international forum for technological development "Technoprom-2025".

The project in question is a unique experience for Russia, creating a specialized class in one of the lyceums of Burkina Faso. Students who complete the program will have the opportunity to enroll in specialized specialties at Novosibirsk State University.

— Over the past two years, we have been actively working in West African countries, creating and strengthening cooperation at the university level. Thus, last year an agreement was signed to create a Consortium of Russian Universities for cooperation with African countries. Now this project also covers school education, which allows us to prepare young people in advance for admission to Russian universities — three years before graduation. By creating a specialized international class, we are developing curricula adapted to the requirements of universities, which creates unique conditions for learning. This, in turn, will increase the number of students from African countries studying at Novosibirsk State University and other leading Russian universities, — commented Natalia Krasovskaya, Director of the Center for Public Diplomacy.

Schoolchildren with good knowledge of English will be allowed to participate in the program; it is planned to recruit 25-30 people. Computer science and mathematics programs will be developed by NSU teachers.

— The implementation of the model for selecting talented young people for admission to the university and the creation of specialized international classes is an important element of our international cooperation strategy. Therefore, we pay attention to building cooperation not only with universities, but also with schools, — commented Evgeny Sagaydak, Head of the Education Export Department at NSU.

Based on the results of the pilot project, it is planned to replicate the successful experience in other countries where Russian Houses of the Center for Public Diplomacy are already operating – Niger, Guinea, or are planned to open – Ghana, Mali, Libya, Namibia.

Novosibirsk State University sums up the interim results of the 2025 admission campaign. At the priority and main stages, 1,333 people were admitted to budget places for bachelor's and specialist's degrees, including places of separate, special and target quotas, this year, of which 116 people are winners and prize-winners of the All-Russian Olympiad and Olympiads from the list of the Russian Society of Schoolchildren. The geography of those admitted includes 64 regions of Russia, the share of out-of-town applicants is more than 70%.

This year, the number of applications for all bachelor's and specialist's degree programs exceeded 23 thousand, which is 17% more than in 2024. Also, the number of applicants who applied for admission to NSU increased by almost 7% and amounted to more than 8,200 people. The average score for the budget for the main competition remained at the 2024 level – about 85.

At the stage of priority enrollment within a separate quota (children of SVO participants) in 2025, the number of students increased threefold and amounted to 93 people from 21 constituent entities of the Russian Federation, including 29 people without entrance examinations. Within the special quota, 40 people were enrolled, of which 10 were orphans and children left without parental care, and 30 were disabled. Within the targeted admission, 20 people were enrolled, most of them in the direction of "General Medicine".

Schoolchildren from all over Russia entered NSU, and the geography of applicants expanded: if in 2024, students represented 58 regions, then this year – 64. The top 5 regions include Novosibirsk Oblast (40%), Altai Krai and the Altai Republic (9%), Kemerovo Oblast (9%), Irkutsk Oblast and Zabaykalsky Krai (6.5%), Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk Oblasts (4%). The largest number of out-of-town applicants is in the Faculty of Natural Sciences, Physics and Mechanics and Mathematics Faculties – more than 75%.

An innovation, compared to 2024, is the development of programs by the university with the support of industrial partners.

— This year we launched several new promising areas. For example, a new bachelor's degree program "Applied Artificial Intelligence" to train top specialists in the field of AI, which is being implemented with the support of the Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation and the Analytical Center under the Government of the Russian Federation. The anchor partner of the program is the multidisciplinary IT holding T1. More than 300 applications for 150 places with tuition fees were submitted for the program.

NSU hosted graduation ceremonies for the Digital Department programs

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Novosibirsk State University has been implementing the Digital Departments project since 2022 along with other universities participating in the Priority 2030 program. Currently, NSU has seven educational programs within the project. Students from not only Novosibirsk State University, but also from universities in all regions of Russia can study in them. Upon completion of the training, students with higher education are awarded a diploma of professional retraining (250 hours), while others are awarded certificates and a diploma upon completion of a bachelor's/specialist's degree, which opens up additional opportunities in the labor market for graduates of the program.

In July and August, diplomas were awarded to graduates of the 2024/2025 academic year in the digital department programs. The most popular program was "Technologies for managing the properties of biological objects, methods of bioinformatics and molecular biology", headed by PhD Sergey Sedykh. About 400 people graduated from it. Great interest was also aroused by new programs that were launched for the first time in 2024 – "SMM Tools for Promotion" (jointly with 2GIS) and "Motion Design" (2D and 3D graphics), the graduation for them amounted to more than 250 people.

— The Digital Department is a unique opportunity for students to gain competencies in the relevant area of "Technologies for Managing the Properties of Biological Objects". At our Digital Department, we combine two main areas – bioinformatics and molecular biology. Akademgorodok has long been famous for its bioinformaticians and is considered one of the places where bioinformatics originated half a century ago. Another important area that is part of the strategy of scientific and technological development of our country is molecular and synthetic biology. Over three years, we have recorded more than 200 video lectures. We invite students to participate in the new season of the Digital Department! — commented Sergey Sedykh.

Professional retraining diplomas were awarded to specialists in two areas: "Basic Python Programming" and "Mobile Application Development". The first program is not aimed at IT specialists. Python is currently very popular: it is easy to learn compared to most other programming systems, effective for writing code and is highly valued by employers of large IT companies. The second is suitable for specialists who understand programming and is designed for students mastering IT competencies within the framework of basic programs. In the 2024-2025 academic year, about 200 people completed training in these programs.

— Today is a very joyful day, because we are presenting you with diplomas within the framework of the NSU Digital Department. These diplomas state that you have received professional retraining in IT, and now you can work in this field as a specialist with higher education, which, accordingly, opens up huge horizons for you. On behalf of the university, I would like to congratulate you! I sincerely wish you good professional growth and that the knowledge you have gained will be useful to you in life, — the dean congratulated the graduates. Faculty of Information Technology NSU Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Mikhail Lavrentiev.

This year, 200 people completed the Machine Learning and Neural Networks program. In the course, students from physicists and chemists to future doctors mastered key data analysis methods in one academic year: from regression and decision trees to convolutional and transformer neural networks. The course provides more than just a set of algorithms: it teaches how modern ML works and how to turn it into a solution to a real problem. And most importantly, graduates of the program can already apply the knowledge they have gained in their own projects.

— The program is focused on the practical application of AI in a variety of areas. We provide a general understanding of machine learning methods and teach how to adapt them to students' tasks. This year, graduates demonstrated a high level of proficiency in tools: from identifying rock boundaries in geology and predicting the structural properties of proteins to modeling the volatility of organic compounds. These projects show how the knowledge gained is directly transformed into results in specific scientific and applied areas, — noted NSU senior lecturer Sergey Bespalov.

The second graduation of the Digital Jurisprudence program took place. It is aimed at training modern lawyers of a new type, who have digital skills and are able to communicate with technical specialists in the same language. A digital lawyer carries out legal analysis of new business projects in the digital environment, understands the current legal regulation regarding new digital objects, personal data, intellectual property in the Russian Federation and abroad. Such a specialist is able to support IT projects and find the right legal solutions. In 2025, 144 people completed training under the program, not only from NSU, but also from other cities of Russia, including Moscow, St. Petersburg, Krasnodar, Krasnoyarsk, etc.

— As in the previous year, leading lawyers from Novosibirsk, Moscow, technical specialists, company executives, business representatives, teachers from NSU and other Russian universities, such as HSE, MSU, and St. Petersburg State University, acted as speakers and teachers of the Digital Jurisprudence program. Thus, in 2024-2025, PhD in Law, Associate Professor of the Department of Private Law at HSE A.A. Volos, Doctor of Law, Professor of the Department of Entrepreneurial Law at Moscow State University, Head of the Scientific and Educational Center "Center for Legal Research of AI and Digital Economy" Yu.S. Kharitonova visited NSU with in-person visits within the framework of the program. A special feature of the second year of the educational program was close cooperation with the Siberian Main Directorate of the Bank of Russia, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation; the most pressing issues of law enforcement in the field of digital technologies were discussed during lectures at NSU and return visits of students, said Elizaveta Zainutdinova, head of the additional professional development program “Digital Jurisprudence”.

New recruitment for the Digital Department programs will begin in September 2025. Any student at NSU and other Russian universities, starting from their second year, will be able to receive free retraining.

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The first stage of training in the T1 IT camp started on July 8. As it was found out by the T1 IT holding, 25% of students of Novosibirsk technical universities associate their career future with system analytics. Statistics based on the assessment of the popularity of the IT holding's educational programs, the professional priorities of future IT specialists in Novosibirsk reflect the general trend in the country – system analytics is the leader in many regions, including Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg and Izhevsk. The second and third places in popularity were taken by backend and frontend development – these tracks were chosen by 23% and 17% of future IT specialists, respectively. Also in demand among young people are the specialties of tester and application administrator.

The bootcamp participants included 144 students from Novosibirsk. The largest number of students came from Novosibirsk State University — 42 students were enrolled in the IT camp. This is due to the fact that NSU is focused on practice-oriented learning. For several years now, IT holding T1 has been a strategic partner of the university — the company's employees participate in the development of training courses and give lectures, conduct career guidance events and train teachers to work with new digital tools. Over the past six months, more than 3,000 NSU students have attended events organized in partnership with T1.

Future IT specialists in the IT camp will be able to gain "combat experience" by solving real business problems. Experience is one of the most important criteria for employers when hiring. In 2025, the holding's initiative collected a record number of applications – more than 7,000, which is 2.5 times more than last year. Almost 3,000 candidates passed the entrance test, and 1,535 people were accepted to the educational intensive.

The IT camp is taught in a hybrid format. At the first stage, participants undergo online training, including lectures from T1 experts, master classes on developing technical and soft skills, and analysis of practical tasks. The second stage is project work: participants will unite in teams to develop real solutions under the guidance of experienced mentors. The IT camp will end with an in-person final. It will take place on August 28 in three cities – Novosibirsk, Moscow, and Yekaterinburg. All students will receive certificates of participation, and the most successful will be invited to an internship at the company. Last year, 80% of the camp participants became T1 interns.

— To quickly start a career, graduates of even top IT universities often lack practical skills and a general understanding of the trajectory of professional movement. To help young specialists overcome this barrier, we create an environment that brings together young people and expert practitioners who are implementing ambitious digital transformation projects today. This transfer of living knowledge is the basis of the T1 IT camp and our other educational projects, — commented Dmitry Kharitonov, First Deputy General Director of T1 IT holding.

Reference:

Novosibirsk State University (NSU) together with IT holding T1 is implementing Bachelor's degree program "Applied Artificial Intelligence". This year, 150 students will be accepted. Graduates of the program will master one of the most popular areas in the modern labor market. According to experts, 70% of Russian companies are already using AI in their work, and the demand for professionals with skills in working with AI and machine learning technologies has tripled in recent years. Submission of documents for the new bachelor's program at NSU ends on August 25.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Academic Council of SPbPU adopted the Regulation on the personalized scholarships of the Physics and Mechanics Institute. Starting from the 2025/2026 academic year, the best Physics and Mechanics Master's students will start receiving personalized scholarships based on the results of the competition, named after outstanding professors who worked at the Physics and Mechanics Faculty of the Polytechnic University. The scholarships will be paid from the income from the management of the target capital "Development of scientific, educational, youth and educational projects of Physics and Mechanics".

"Last year, thanks to the activity of graduates and employees, a target capital was formed at PhysMech," said Nikolai Ivanov, Acting Director of the Physics and Mechanics Institute. "It is gratifying that, by decision of the Institute's Academic Council, the first project to which the income from the target capital will be directed is personal scholarships for master's students. The scholarships will allow us to reward the brightest students who are starting their path in science. Involvement in scientific research is one of the cornerstones of the "PhysMech system," created by outstanding scientists and organizers of higher education, after whom the scholarships are named."

A total of five scholarships have been established – one for students in each of the five Master's degree programs.

Students of the master's program in the field of "Mechanics and Mathematical Modeling" will be awarded a scholarship named after Ivan Vsevolodovich Meshchersky.

I. V. Meshchersky (1859–1935) was a Russian scientist and mechanic, the founder of the mechanics of variable mass systems. When the St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute opened, he was invited to the position of professor of the theoretical mechanics department and played a decisive role in the development of this discipline. It was Ivan Meshchersky’s lecture on theoretical mechanics for students of all technical departments that became the first lecture given at the newly opened Polytechnic Institute. Meshchersky was one of those scientists who sought to bring the teaching of mechanics closer to the needs of engineering practice; he created the classic “Collection of Problems in Theoretical Mechanics” and introduced practical classes for students to solve problems. In 1907–1908, he served as director of the St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute.

Students of the Master's program in the field of "Applied Mathematics and Physics" will be awarded a scholarship named after Lev Gerasimovich Loitsyansky.

L. G. Loitsyansky (1900–1991) was a Soviet scientist and mechanic, the founder and first head of the Department of Hydroaerodynamics at the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics (1935–1975), and a leading specialist in boundary layer and turbulence theory. He began his teaching career in 1922 as an assistant to Professor A. A. Friedman at the Department of Theoretical Mechanics. L. G. Loitsyansky is the author of fundamental monographs and textbooks on hydrogasdynamics and theoretical mechanics. L. G. Loitsyansky’s textbook “Mechanics of Liquids and Gases” is still a reference book for both undergraduate and graduate students, as well as specialists in hydroaerodynamics. The scientific school of physical mechanics of liquids and gases created by Lev Gerasimovich is one of the leading schools in the country and is supported and developed at SPbPU by his students and the students of his students.

Master's students in the Applied Mechanics program will be awarded a scholarship named after Anatoly Isakovich Lurye.

A. I. Lurye (1901–1980) was a Soviet scientist and mechanic, Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, and the author of fundamental works on theoretical and analytical mechanics, oscillation theory, operational calculus and automatic control theory, shell theory, and linear and nonlinear elasticity theory. The textbook on theoretical mechanics, which he co-authored with his colleague and friend L. G. Loitsyansky, was used by more than one generation of students. From 1944 to 1977, A. I. Lurye headed the Department of Dynamics and Strength of Machines at the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics (since 1960, the Department of Mechanics and Control Processes). A unique scientific team was formed around Anatoly Isakovich, which is still commonly called the “Lurye school”. The works of A. I. Lurye’s students occupy a significant place in Russian mechanics and are known throughout the world.

Master's students majoring in Physics will be awarded a scholarship named after Boris Pavlovich Konstantinov.

B. P. Konstantinov (1910–1969) was a Soviet physicist and academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences. His scientific interests were extremely broad: he published works on acoustics, physical chemistry, isotope physics, plasma physics and the problem of controlled thermonuclear fusion, and astrophysics. As head of a laboratory at the Physicotechnical Institute (now named after A. F. Ioffe), from 1947 Boris Pavlovich worked part-time at the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute, headed the department of technical physics, and then organized several departments at the FMP: experimental nuclear physics, isotope physics, and biophysics. On his initiative, a specialization in astrophysics was opened at the LPI. B. P. Konstantinov was the director of the A. F. Ioffe Physicotechnical Institute (1957–1967) and dean of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics (1964–1966).

Students of the Master's program in the field of "Applied Mathematics and Computer Science" will be awarded a scholarship named after Vladimir Aleksandrovich Troitsky.

V. A. Troitsky (1927–2004) was a graduate of Anatoly Isakovich Lurye's school, the organizer and first head of the Department of Computational Mathematics of the Faculty of Physics and Mechanics (in 1989 the department was named Applied Mathematics), and the Dean of the Faculty of Physics and Mechanics (1966–1973). V. A. Troitsky studied the theory of optimal processes, with an emphasis on the development and application of analytical and numerical methods for solving problems of optimizing mechanical systems. Under the supervision of Professor Troitsky, the department conducted scientific research in the field of developing numerical methods for solving various problems in mechanics.

Personal scholarships of PhysMech will be awarded each semester on a competitive basis to master's students who have demonstrated high achievements in academic and research activities. The scholarship amount in the 2025/2026 academic year will be 6,000 rubles per month. The competition will be held in the first ten days of September.

From June 23 to August 5, training sessions were held in military units of the Leningrad Military District with the participation of more than 250 students of the SPbPU Military Training Center.

The training began, as always, with the taking of the military oath. During the training sessions, the polytechnicians worked in the field as part of the crews of equipment and communication stations, control points and calculations of anti-aircraft missile troops, learned how to deploy the engineering equipment of the command post, learned the rules for the operation and repair of armored vehicles, and mastered the basics of tactical medicine.

During the training, students also gained experience in serving on daily duty, acquired skills in commanding units of the communications troops, anti-aircraft missile forces, armored units, and mastered the operation of complex modern weapons and military equipment.

Along with their combat training activities, the boys helped with the repair and improvement of military units, for which, after completing the training and final certification, they received certificates and gratitude from their commanders and the head of the Polytechnic Military Training Center.

From August 2 to 5, traditional ceremonial events were held with the carrying out of the national flag of the Russian Federation and the flag of SPbPU, during which students who completed their studies in military training programs at the Military Training Center at SPbPU were issued completed registration certificates. Vice-Rector for Additional and Pre-University Education Dmitry Tikhonov and Head of the Military Training Center Viktor Ozaruk congratulated the students on the completion of the training camp and successfully passed certification.
