I found the international Master's program in Power Plant Engineering very useful and interesting. The teachers were great! We had many international professors from Italy, Germany, Finland, India, and Brazil. My study placement at Polytechnic University of Milan and Lappeenranta University of Technology as part of the student exchange program was the most memorable thing. It helped me a lot with my graduation thesis.

I have always wanted to live in Russia, although I had other opportunities. Some time ago, I felt that I lacked theoretical knowledge and foundations. To work successfully, I needed professional training. That’s why I decided to study digital finance, economics, and business analytics in my Master's degree at SpbPU. Lectures are delivered in Russian.

I have lived in Russia long enough, and I can speak Russian! I have always believed that Russia provides applied education for the most part. Here you acquire skills that will be useful to you later in life. Open Doors is a great opportunity for international students who want to study at Polytechnic University for free.

I decided to come to Russia because I want to master the Russian language. Also, I like the country in general. I chose Saint Petersburg because of its cultural heritage and its location near the sea. Since I am currently studying on the University foundation program, my favorite subjects are Russian literature, Russian history, and the Russian language. I'm mainly focusing on the language lessons. It’s great that Polytechnic University offers such a comprehensive program preparing foreigners for university studies and that it is also open to everyone interested, such as future interpreters.
