The Institute of Civil Engineering of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University has summed up the results of this year's admission campaign. The results once again confirmed the high level of trust of applicants in one of the most prestigious institutes in the country, which continues to prepare professionals to solve the most complex problems of modern construction.
Following the 2025 admissions campaign, ISI accepted more than 1,200 students, 43 of whom were admitted without entrance examinations due to outstanding achievements in Olympiads and competitions. The passing scores for the Construction program were 244 points, and for the Construction of Unique Buildings and Structures program — 266 points for the main competitive places. More than 1,000 applicants choose ISI annually, which indicates its stable popularity among future students.
Today, the Civil Engineering Institute trains specialists in six areas of training: "Construction", "Construction of Unique Buildings and Structures", "Design" and "Design of the Architectural Environment", "Urban Planning", and "Technosphere Safety". Based on the rich heritage of the hydraulic engineering faculty and the achievements of outstanding scientists, the institute is forming a new generation of highly qualified engineers ready to solve urgent problems of the construction industry.
The history of the Civil Engineering Institute dates back to 1907. Since its foundation, the Institute has always been a leading educational center for training personnel for the construction industry, producing highly qualified specialists of international level, whose knowledge and experience formed the basis for the creation of unique facilities throughout Russia and beyond.
A special place in history is occupied by the Faculty of Hydrotechnics, which from 1934 to 1999 became the center for training engineers for the largest hydrotechnical projects. Currently, there are no hydroelectric power plants in Russia in the justification, design and construction of which graduates of the Faculty of Hydrotechnics would not have participated. The same can be said about hydrotechnical facilities in the former republics of the USSR, now sovereign states. Many graduates participated in the design and construction of facilities in Vietnam, Egypt, Syria, Turkey and other countries. Particular pride is caused by the participation of the faculty in the justification of a complex of protective structures for St. Petersburg from floods.
The faculty of that period employed outstanding scientists whose names have received wide recognition not only in Russia but also abroad. Among them were A. Z. Basevich, A. V. Belov, P. I. Vasiliev, P. D. Glebov, S. S. Galushkevich, O. G. Dietz, N. V. Zarubaev, P. L. Ivanov, B. D. Kachanovsky, V. S. Knoroz, M. P. Kozhevnikov, I. I. Levi, V. E. Lyakhnitsky, A. L. Mozhevitinov, A. A. Morozov, S. D. Okorokov, A. A. Sabaneev, N. A. Filimonov, V. A. Florin, Yu. I. Yagn, M. D. Chertousov, R. R. Chugaev, D. S. Shchavelev. Their scientific achievements had a significant impact on the development of the construction industry and engineering.
Today, the Civil Engineering Institute continues the tradition of high-quality training of specialists, following its mission – to educate engineers who provide technological and cognitive leadership in the construction industry of the Russian Federation. Over the past few years, it has consistently confirmed its reputation as an advanced educational center in the field of construction. According to the RAEX Agency, the Civil Engineering Institute has received the highest rating among Russian construction universities for the third year in a row.
Students of the ISI demonstrate high achievements at various competition venues. In 2021–2024, they became permanent winners of the International Construction Championship in the competencies of “Information Modeling and Modeling” and “Design of the Architectural and Construction Part”, the annual all-Russian competition “Energy of Development” of PJSC RusHydro, finalists of all-Russian and international architectural project competitions, for example, the all-Russian competition of sketch designs for the Yaroslavl airport complex, participants in the “I am a Professional” program and many others. Particularly noteworthy is the victory of the ISI “PoliTechExpert” team in the final of the Interuniversity Engineering Competition “PrimeTechKursk 2024”, as well as the successful performance of students in the “Team Leaders 2023/24” and BRICS Future Skills competitions
The modern Civil Engineering Institute is based on 4 higher schools: the Higher School of Industrial, Civil and Road Construction, the Higher School of Hydraulic and Power Engineering, the Higher School of Design and Architecture, the Higher School of Technosphere Safety, three basic departments – "Fire Safety" based on Gefest LLC, "Agrophysical Engineering" based on the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution "Agrophysical Research Institute" and "Urban Planning" based on the Research Institute of Advanced Urban Planning LLC, the Center for Additional Professional Programs, preparatory courses and the Magazine of Civil Engineering. The ISI implements 7 postgraduate programs and 6 dissertation councils.
The Civil Engineering Institute works with more than 100 industrial partners representing the largest corporations, leading design and construction organizations of the Russian Federation: Rosatom, PJSC RusHydro, Severstal, Gazprom Neft, PJSC Samolet Group of Companies, Setl Group, Glavstroy Saint Petersburg, Brusnika, IRBIS Engineering Corporation, JSC Titan-2 Concern, JSC Lenmorniiproekt, JSC ETALON Group of Companies, and the NOTECH Association. Partnership with these organizations allows the Institute to introduce current practices and technologies into the educational process, as well as to ensure a high level of training for specialists in the construction industry.
The Civil Engineering Institute, preserving centuries-old traditions of quality training of specialists, continues to train the future engineering and creative elite of the country. Relying on the rich heritage of the hydrotechnical faculty and the achievements of outstanding scientists, the institute forms a new generation of highly qualified engineers ready to solve the most complex problems of modern construction.
