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. Also, for the first time, recruitment took place for new programs of the Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies of NSU: "Medical Cybernetics" (specialist) and "Industrial Pharmacy" (master's degree). These are network educational programs, implemented jointly with the Engineering School of Moscow State University, the industrial partners are the companies "Generium" and "Pharmstandard". New medical areas will be developed on the basis of the infrastructure of the NSU campus under construction, — said the rector of NSU, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Mikhail Fedoruk.

If we talk about the most popular areas, then traditionally there is high competition in areas with a small number of budget places. This year, the top 5 included "Jurisprudence" (67 people per place), "Linguistics" (44 people per place), "Business Informatics" (42 people per place), "Sociology" (34 people per place), "Informatics and Computer Science. Computer Science and Systems Engineering" (33 people per place).

— We are seeing an increase in interest in engineering and IT specialties. Thus, the following areas showed the greatest increase in the number of applications, compared to 2024: "Informatics and Computer Engineering", "Mathematics and Mechanics", "Mathematics and Computer Science", "Applied Mathematics and Physics". The last of the above-mentioned programs is relatively new: we launched it only last year, this year we doubled the recruitment, and the area turned out to be very popular: the competition was 31 people per place. Also this year we are seeing a positive trend — interest in the "Physics. Fundamental Research" area has grown: both the number of applications and the average passing score have increased, — added Mikhail Fedoruk.

Every year, digital channels of interaction with applicants are becoming increasingly popular: this year, more than 80% of schoolchildren submitted applications through the State Services portal.

At the Department of Geotechnics of SPbGASU, under the scientific supervision of Honored Scientist of Russia, Corresponding Member of RAASN, Doctor of Engineering Rashid Mangushev, changes in the condition of sandy foundations when they are contaminated with oil and oil products are being studied.

The research as part of the preparation of the candidate's dissertation is carried out by postgraduate student and senior lecturer of the department Alina Kvashuk.

The aim of the work is to assess the nature and degree of change in the physical and mechanical characteristics of sandy soils when interacting with oil and oil products, which will allow us to predict changes in the condition of soils at the base of structures during man-made pollution.

As part of the study, recommendations were developed for the calculation methodology for the limit states of foundations of buildings and structures on contaminated sandy bases, taking into account changes in the physical and mechanical properties of soils. This will ensure long-term and trouble-free operation of buildings and structures of the oil complex.

The work is being carried out within the framework of a grant for the implementation of research work by research and teaching staff of SPbGASU in 2025.

The Great Voyage of the Argo: Archaeologists from the Polytechnic University Search for the Treasures of the Khazar Khaganate

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The student archaeological team "Argo" went to the Samara region for the work season to work as volunteers in the "Ancient World" archaeological park near the village of Kamenny Brod and to take part in the Middle Volga archaeological expedition in the village of Vlast Truda.

As a rule, archaeological teams are engaged in excavations, but in the "Ancient World" the Argonauts had other tasks: landscaping the territory, restoring the historical complex after a fire, making bricks, cutting down trees for sanitary purposes, building a Botai dwelling and providing various types of assistance to museum staff.

The second place of work – the Middle Volga AE – has already become a habit: here the guys, armed with shovels and scrapers, are engaged in the search for artifacts from the times of the Khazar Khaganate.

And in their free time, students participate in master classes on clay modeling, fabric stamping, fight with training swords, and interact with domestic animals. They also enrich their geographical horizons – they visited Samara and Novokuibyshevsk, visited local attractions and an aquatic center.

"This is my first year in the squad movement and my first archaeological season. I was very worried the whole time, and especially after receiving the tickets in my hands – I'm definitely going, this will definitely happen, and the main thing is not to chicken out," shared Polina Yashchenko, candidate of the SAO "Argo". – As it turned out, my worries were mostly in vain. I only forgot my headlamp, thanks to which I could admire the stars all night long. We went to Samara to first work in the "Ancient World" archaeological center, where we helped create Neolithic buildings and arrange the territory for visitors. Then we had excavations – I was terribly afraid that it would be difficult to work with a shovel if I was not used to it, but the squad helped me cope with this."

Happy birthday to Vladimir Stroev!

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

A birthday is always a pleasant holiday for the hero of the occasion and for those congratulating. And today for the State University of Management there is a special reason for jubilation – the birthday of the rector, member of the Expert Council on Education and Youth Policy under the Deputy Chairman of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation B.A. Chernyshov, member of the RAS Committee on the United Nations Environment Program, member of the Presidium of the International Movement for Financial Security, laureate of the Russian Government Prize in the field of education, Doctor of Economics, Professor Vladimir Stroyev!

As you can see, every year our rector has more and more appointments, which means more tasks: meetings, conferences, discussions, forums and other business activities. Sometimes there are two or three events a day, and it is not always possible to keep track. This is not only an exhausting job, it is also a burden of responsibility for the words spoken and proposals put forward. It is all the more pleasant to constantly see Vladimir Vitalievich active, collected and in an invariably good mood. His activities give us all a good example of hard work and bring confidence in the future.

And this tomorrow, thanks to the rector's concerns, looks very bright. Scientific laboratories are opening, another student dormitory building is being built, utilities are being repaired, and the security system is being updated. New educational programs are appearing, including in partnership with large industrial enterprises and business corporations, foreign internships are being conducted, and all-Russian competitions are being held. I would especially like to note the changes in the image of the State University of Management, which is turning from a purely managerial and humanitarian university into a center of industry and scientific and technical competencies before our eyes, surprising the expert community with its achievements. Of course, all this would be impossible without a strong team of assistants in the form of vice-rectors, talented young scientists, and goal-oriented students, but the role of the leader should not be forgotten.

Let us wish Vladimir Vitalievich to remain as active, benevolent and far-sighted; hard-working, hospitable and decisive. And even if his birthday is only once a year, the feeling of celebration can be daily, especially when you work at the State University of Management. Happiness, health and fulfillment of all dreams!

SPbGASU has proven that modular tourist facilities are optimal for the Arctic

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Under the supervision of Alexandra Eremeeva, PhD in architecture and associate professor of the architectural design department at SPbGASU, research into the architectural features of tourist complexes in the Arctic zone of Russia has been conducted for several years. The development of the tourist potential of the Russian Far North is part of the national project "Tourism and Hospitality".

"Development of tourism in the Arctic requires special approaches. On the one hand, the region has a unique natural landscape, on the other hand, it imposes extremely tough conditions on construction: an extremely cold climate, remoteness from logistics hubs, a fragile ecosystem. In such conditions, traditional methods of constructing tourism infrastructure are often either too expensive or simply impossible. In this regard, more and more attention is being paid to modular architectural solutions," explained Alexandra Eremeeva.

She noted that modular structures make it possible to manufacture tourist facilities – residential units, pavilions, food outlets and other service facilities – in factory conditions and deliver the finished modules directly to the installation site. This significantly optimizes the process and makes it possible to build tourist facilities in a short time, since the construction period in the Arctic region is very limited due to climatic conditions. Modular facilities can be operated autonomously: they are equipped with heating, water supply, drainage, ventilation systems and often do not require a capital foundation. Modules can be adapted to various landscapes and different needs of tourists. At the same time, they do not disturb the natural environment and can be dismantled without a trace.

"From an economic point of view, modular facilities are a rational solution, especially in places where capital construction is not only expensive, but also impractical. What is important here is the speed of launch, mobility, and payback within one or two tourist seasons. In addition, modularity opens the way to typological experiments: you can change the layout inside the module, expand the complex, combine modules depending on the tasks and budget," emphasized Alexandra Eremeeva.

Postgraduate student Ilya Yunchis studied the possibilities of using modular tourist facilities in this region. He chose this topic for a reason: his architectural bureau Sai participated in the design and implementation of a tourist complex consisting of modular facilities in the village of Teriberka in the Murmansk region. The project uses compact residential modules with panoramic glazing, structural solutions with a lightweight frame and effective insulation, ventilated facades, and an emphasis on energy efficiency. It was possible to create comfortable conditions for tourists without harming the environment, which was a fundamental guideline for the authors of the project.

"Modular solutions allow architecture to be flexible, sensitive to nature, and at the same time expressive and functional. Modular objects are the future of Arctic tourism," the authors of the study are convinced.
