Ricardo Rodriguez, El Salvador. Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade, MSc in English "International Business"
I’ve been looking for some universities to start a master’s degree. Polytech is on the top of the list.
My advice is not to be afraid to face challenges life presents you! You will grow as a person. If you come to Russia, it will be amazing! You will not only be studying if you move. I found people that support me here in Russia. Take it! Take a decision to study abroad. That’s my advice.

Yestin Mathura, Trinidad and Tobago. PhD in Emergency Preparedness and Response
I think it is quite effective in an area that I can explore, as well as in the oil industry of my country. So I can use my education in all spheres. Personally for me it is something I never did before. It is quite a new sphere.
We work so closely with the professor and it inspires me.
It is also a personal achievement for me to be at Polytech because I've been achieving this for six whole years.

Diogo Teles, Brazil
That was the first time I left Brazil to go abroad, and I knew no one in Russia. The Tutor Forces team really helped me then. I felt I could rely on them if I had any problems or needed help. Thanks to numerous events held by Tutor Forces, I met new people, other international students and got acquainted with Russian culture and history.

Glenn Lee, Китай
To go to study at SPbPU was the best choice I've ever made. The training is in English. Besides this, once a week we have classes in the Russian language. The atmosphere in the classroom is lively and inspiring; professors explain the material in detail and thoroughly. Two months in SPbPU gave me a lot – both in the educational and cultural aspects.
Support and adaptation programs
Creating a favorable environment for international students is one of the crucial tasks of Polytechnic University.
SPbPU has a few organizations adapting international students and integrating them into the university community. They provide comprehensive support, from meeting at the airport, helping with documents, solving daily life problems, to organizing entertainment activities.
