Information about SPbU on our portal is confirmed by a member of its admissions committee.

One of the country's universities that has acquired the right to independently set educational standards is St. State University... It is also recognized as one of the oldest universities in the country, therefore, for several centuries in a row, it has been preparing real specialists in various fields of activity. These, but far from the only advantages, have won the sympathy of many citizens not only of the Russian Federation. Therefore, we invite you to learn more about how the introductory campaign at St. Petersburg State University will be held in 2017.

Admission characteristics in 2017

In general, this procedure will resemble the standards of previous years, but still we will pay attention to some features.

To begin with, consider the question of what documents must be prepared in advance for filing. Of course, the first thing that applicants fill out are applications of a certain form. It is accompanied by a passport and educational document and two photographs.

Necessarily still need to serve medical certificate, which must be received no later than one year before the end of the introductory campaign.

Applicants can submit a complete package of documents in three ways, each of which has the same legal force... The first - standard and more traditional - directly in admissions committee... The second - less expensive, but which can cause a lot of anxiety - by mail. And finally, the most modern - in electronic form, which will help save time and effort.

When submitting documents, all applicants must adhere to the established deadlines. So, applicants who wish to become bachelors or specialists can apply from June 20. The completion of this process will be marked by four different dates.

• July 7 - in case of passing the test of a creative nature;
• July 10 - passing exams of a different orientation;
• July 26 / August 9 - USE-based admission.

Considering the features of the introductory campaign, one cannot fail to mention the benefits. They can be divided into several types, each of which makes it possible for a certain category of citizens to receive some advantages.

First, let's pay attention to the winners and prize-winners. school olympiads which have been or will continue to be held from 2012 to 2017. Such citizens are given a choice of two types of special rights: the opportunity to enroll without passing additional entrance exams or to be equated with persons who, with passing the exam got the maximum number of points.

Another type of benefits is admission to training at the expense of budgetary allocations. This right can be exercised by a certain category of citizens, including orphans.

We also note the pre-emptive right for enrollment, which can be used by thirteen categories of citizens. But you must remember that in any case, your additional rights must be confirmed by appropriate documents.

We will also pay special attention to admission to the magistracy, since in this case there will be some differences. Firstly, it will be possible to submit documents from March 1 (in electronic form) and from July 3 (in other ways). But the deadline for submitting documents is the same - July 20. As for the entrance examinations, they will take only nine days from July 24th.

Passing points at St. Petersburg State University

This question, of course, is relevant for those who will take entrance exams... Therefore, we will consider it in more detail. The first thing we pay attention to is that the passing scores depend on which faculty and orientation you have chosen and, accordingly, which exams you will take. As for the form of testing, for the majority, a written one is provided, with the exception of a creative competition. Another feature that must be taken into account is that for the same item can be set different indicators passing points, depending on the faculty you have chosen, as well as the priority of subjects for delivery. For example, the minimum for mathematics in the direction of training "mathematics" is 65 points, but in the direction of "hydrometeorology" - 60, in "geology" - 55. A similar situation is determined for other subjects. Therefore, keep this in mind when preparing and passing exams.

Several other indicators are set for those who wish to become a master. So, indicators such as 30, 40, 45 and 50 points are provided.

And finally, considering this issue, we recall that these points are set for both the paid form of education and for the budget.

Tuition fees in 2017-2018

If you plan to study on a paid basis, then this question for applicants will be one of the most important. Unfortunately, this information will only be available from June 1st. Therefore, for now, you can rely on the price indicators of previous years. So, the lowest prices are provided for the direction "Economics" - 136,000 rubles. But you will have to pay the most money for International Management - 450,000 rubles. Please note that training in similar areas will cost more for foreign citizens, for example, in this case, the same "International Management" will now cost 500,000 rubles. These were the prices for undergraduate studies, but they will differ for specialist training. The maximum in this case reaches 243,000 rubles for the "Dentistry" program and at least 186,000 rubles for the "Acting Art".

If you still have not received all the answers to your questions about admission, then we suggest you take the opportunity to communicate with representatives of the university directly. So, the university regularly hosts days open doors... Approximately three or four times a month, the doors of the university are opened to all comers. Moreover, every day is dedicated to a separate direction, which makes it even easier for applicants to get the information they need.

Let us remind you that you have the opportunity to learn about the specifics of admission to other universities in the country in 2017, for example ..
