The heat is on: real summer has arrived in St. Petersburg, and applicants have just over a week to apply for admission to a university. There are many opportunities, but it is difficult to make the right choice. Not all graduates leave school with a clear understanding of where exactly they will go to get higher education. Sometimes a strong emotion becomes a turning point for making a decision. For example, many students stay to study at the Polytechnic University under the impression of the beauty of its buildings and park. But first, they need to get there. Potential students will be helped by… superheroes of the Polytechnic Universe.

Now you can see them on light boxes in the vestibules and on the escalators of eleven stations of the St. Petersburg metro, and they will definitely not let you go astray. If you get on the wrong line, change to the red one. If you hear in the train: "The next station is Politekhnicheskaya", get off, this is where you need to go. Go up the escalator, the superheroes will wave their hand in greeting – and now you are outside, and you are greeted by the snow-white main building of the Polytechnic and a green park with a 46-meter old tower. You must admit, there is no better place for student life.

"This year we have kept the slogan of the previous admissions campaign, "You are the main hero!" It has proven itself well," said Dmitry Voronov, Head of the Department for Promotion of Educational Programs at SPbPU. "The corporate style with comic book characters was created by the Visual Communications Department of the Public Relations Office, and the advertising layouts were prepared by the Department for Promotion of Educational Programs."

Let us recall that in 2024, almost 145 thousand applications were submitted for budget places in the bachelor's and specialist's degree programs at the Polytechnic University – this is 70% more than in 2023. It is too early to sum up the results of the 2025 admissions campaign, but by July 15, 108,126 applications had already been submitted for all forms of study in the bachelor's and specialist's degree programs. The largest number – 26,000 applications – were received by the Institute of Computer Science and Cybersecurity, in second place (25,000) – the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade, in third (12,000) – the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport.

Among the areas of training, the most popular are “Software Engineering”, “Construction”, “Information Systems and Technologies”.

The admissions committee notes the continued high demand of applicants for all areas of the IT sphere and the growing interest in such areas of training as: "Nuclear Power Engineering and Thermal Physics", "Thermal Power Engineering and Thermal Engineering", "Automation of Technological Processes and Production", "Biotechnology".

The acceptance of documents continues. The rules of the admission campaign and its progress can be found aton our website.

The Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade successfully defended their final qualification works "Project as a Final Qualification Work". 21 projects were completed in a special format: nine complex and 12 group projects, in which 57 final-year students took part (48 undergraduate, nine specialist and master's students).

A group final qualifying work is a coordinated development or research carried out by a team of students united by one object and common problems. A comprehensive final qualifying work is a joint development or research carried out by a team of students within the framework of a common topic.

Since 2023, our institute has been actively and successfully implementing projects for the preparation and defense of final qualification works of bachelors, specialists and masters commissioned by industrial partners, government agencies and commercial organizations in the format of “Project as a final qualification work”. A special feature of our projects is that they are all carried out by multipotential teams consisting of students from different educational programs, and in most cases, from different fields of study. I would like to note the great interest on the part of students: they not only demonstrate qualifications in their field, but also acquire new related knowledge and skills, including in teamwork, – notes Vladimir Shchepinin, Director of IPMEIT.

In 2023, the institute completed three group final qualification works commissioned by partners: Power Machines — Leningrad Metal Plant, TGK-1, and TD-Materik. Last year, 13 project final qualification works were presented (four integrated and nine group). The list of customers, in addition to industrial enterprises, included representatives of retail and the public sector.

This year, IPMET has carried out a lot of preliminary work on interaction with potential customers and received requests for projects to be carried out by multipotential teams from more than 20 employer representatives. These are Eurostil, the Center for Competence in Tourism and Hospitality, the ASI All-Russian Accelerator for Industrial Tourism, MKT, the Krasnogvardeisky District Center for Scientific and Technical Information, the Rosfinmonitoring Regional Office for the Northwestern Federal District, and the PlaceMarket restaurant chain.

Significant contributions were made by the directors of the higher schools of IPMEiT Olga Kalinina, Dmitry Rodionov, Olga Voronova, Olga Nadezhina, as well as those responsible for project activities in the structural divisions.

Projects developed and implemented by students allow for a significant expansion of resource capabilities. Students actively generate ideas, exchange knowledge and experience, and improve their teamwork skills. They need to constructively resolve disagreements and make decisions collectively to achieve results. All this is extremely important for a specialist entering active working life, emphasized Yulia Akimova, Head of the Center for Team Building and Project Solutions at IPMET.

All projects received high marks from customers, and final qualifying works were awarded “excellent” marks by state examination committees.

The Institute implements defenses of final qualification works in various formats, providing high-quality methodological and organizational support. Our team of managers, consultants and mentors in close cooperation with qualified customers are always ready to help student teams, competently organize their work and focus on the result, – emphasized the Deputy Director of IPMET for educational and methodological work Anna Chernikova.

Most of the students participating in “projects like final qualifying work” are already employed or have received offers from customers.
