From St. Petersburg State University specialty. St Petersburg University: specialties and areas of study, passing scores
There is only one week left until the end of the application process. Applicants are afraid and hourly update the pages of lists for admission.
We checked the leading Russian universities for the current situation, and were surprised. After analysis open lists of SPbU applicants (for which honor and praise to the University - MSU still does not rank the lists by points), it became clear that the passing scores have increased significantly. Of course, the results are not yet final, but even now it is clear: those who entered the second wave of last year have nothing to catch this year. For example, the direction of Philology added as much as 25 points. Compared to 2015, scores have increased for all specialties. This may be due to both the general improvement passing the exam(and then it’s not so scary), and with the results of inspections by Rosobrnadzor and the reduction in the number of universities, and then it’s already worth straining, but is your result so good? The competition has grown significantly.
It is expected that the most popular areas remain humanitarian. But the top three leaders of St Petersburg University are international journalism, jurisprudence and… software engineering. Last year, at least 282 points were required to get on the budget. This is expected a little higher - 288. Of the technical specialties, this - the only one that is distinguished by very high scores and a small number of places (20 state-funded), even against the background of the traditionally demanded humanitarian ones.
At MSU, the passing scores are different - but also entrance examinations there's more. For example, for admission to Jurisprudence, the sum of four exams is required, passing - 370 points (on average, 92 points for the exam). At St. Petersburg State University, there are three for the same direction, and not a single introductory one, only the Unified State Examination, and GPA slightly higher - 93.
Mathematics and Geophysics and Geochemistry remain the most accessible areas at St Petersburg University: for them, you need to pass the Unified State Examination by an average of 71 points. They are not far behind "Fundamental Mechanics" (73 points for one USE) and "Environmental Design" (72 points). The latter specialty leads in terms of minimum scores among creative areas: you need to score 360 points in 5 exams. For comparison, last year it was possible to enter St. Petersburg State University with 72 points for the Unified State Examination (in total 216) for the specialty "Geophysics and Geochemistry". Getting on the budget at Moscow State University is more difficult. Here minimum score ranges from 94(283 in total) for the specialty "Sociology", up to 89 (265 in total) for "Ecology and Nature Management".
It is worth noting that the fate of applicants will not be clear until the enrollment itself - according to the rules, one person can apply to five universities and three directions in each. And this means that even at the last moment it will not be known where the guy with high scores above you will decide to go, will he free up the coveted budget place or not. It remains to wish the applicants strength and patience to track their own position in the lists.
First, a few introductory letters: I studied at the Faculty of Law in Moscow (MGUA), I realized that this was not mine, I wanted something as direct as possible interesting (the Faculty of Law is still boring), unusual, but at the same time in demand at a prestigious university. I read a lot of positive reviews about the FSIiN St. Petersburg State University, I re-entered the 1st course, and now you have to read my rave reviews)))
I don’t know who created this place, but it’s insanely cool here! Honestly, without a share of irony and lies, I constantly thank God that I found such a place and that I study here, because I like everything ...
To make it easier to read, I will sign everything point by point.
1. what kind of faculty it is, who they teach there: all students are very creative, critically thinking people, inquisitive activists. after 4 semesters, we are offered to realize ourselves in a specific direction, of which there are a lot (I just have a choice after this semester): art history, history of civilizations, cinema and video, cognitive research (neurophysiology, cognitive psychology, etc.), computer science and artificial intelligence, literature (as an alternative to journalism), international relationships and political science, music, complex systems(neurocomputing, neuromodeling, etc.), sociology and anthropology, philosophy, economics, history and culture of Islam, life sciences (bioinformatics).
Almost all profiles are focused on training specialists of the future. We study in English and Russian. I want to go to computer science and artificial intelligence me it seems it will be very popular in the near future and it will be very interesting to study. the education strategy is liberally oriented, atypical for Russia.
2. about learning: the main thing for me is that I am very interested here. it's hard to imagine a student who would run to the university with a smile of 32 teeth, but know that there are such people and at least it's me))) it's very exciting to study. this is some kind of unrealistic environment of all sorts of interesting and useful things, there is no dry teaching and tedious lecturing, you are completely immersed in the learning process, explaining everything in a very accessible and easy way. half of the students leave for a semester to study abroad) is also a very attractive moment. The faculty collaborates with many foreign universities. there is still a possibility to create your own academic plan. By the way, regardless of the profile, you will receive two diplomas: St. Petersburg State University and Bard College. Almost all training is based on research work and critical dialogue rather than dry teaching. a lot of disciplines from different areas: from economics to biology. Courses are taught in Russian and English language.
3. what is at the faculty: we have our own library, many laboratories, there are all sorts of extras. classes, for example, in video editing, electronic music, photography and others. there are more than 300 different courses: abstract algebra, video art, hollywood and a lot of interesting things, there are courses in various fields (there are also language courses). they seem to make up your curriculum, all this is chosen by the student himself and you yourself completely choose what you will study. Moreover, you must take courses from different areas: philological, economic, and natural science, and others. There is a debate club in English and many language courses.
4. about the teachers: all are very strong, interesting, professional. I especially love Professor Chernigovskaya (biologist), she explains her subject in an incredibly interesting way. These are not the people who reprimanded everything that is written there from the abstract and got ready to go home. These are the people who are constantly open to everything new, they really teach students, teach them to think, do science, participate in various conferences, publish in scientific journals. We have a system at the faculty that the more merit a teacher has, the higher his salary, so everyone is constantly improving))) by the way, the dean is Kudrin, a former finance minister.
5. practice: very in different places, from the Hermitage to foreign research institutes. I know that many graduates have gone to work abroad, I have a friend who works in London (in the world's largest American investment bank J.P. Morgan). They say that a diploma is valued and there are no problems with employment, but it seems to me that everything depends on the profile. By the way, the faculty assists the best students in finding jobs.
6. extracurricular life: many classes ( acting skills, for example, and others), football club and much more (available both at the faculty and in St. Petersburg). Well, they organize various conferences, competitions, debates.
7. the complexity of training: depends on the chosen courses, the baggage of already existing knowledge and teachers. not overly difficult, but not easy either. in terms of complexity, somewhere around 7-8 out of 10. Maybe the huge complexity is not noticed, because all this causes interest and a desire to learn it))) that is, not a burden, but a joy)
8. of the minuses: no matter how you are taught everything, you will be a comprehensively developed person, well versed in everything in general, because here you will be taught politics, biology, physics, economics and much more. But there is still no narrow specialization, despite the many profiles, so for example, for economics, I would still advise you to go to a specialized university or to an eqfak (despite the fact that we really have a very strong economic program), but for those who interesting history, philology, art and everything that smells of novelty (neurolinguistics, artificial intelligence, etc.), the doors are open here and you will not regret at all. another minus is that there is no organization, everything is free to such an extent that you may not know your classmates at all if you have chosen different disciplines.
9. from the pros: a huge impetus to development, the desire to learn everything around; two diplomas (USA and Russia); strong English, many native speakers; free curriculum, comprehensive training, hundreds of courses to choose from; famous teachers; prestigious university; liberal education; interesting process learning; opportunity to study different foreign languages; a semester abroad or three weeks of studying English in New York; small groups; employment for the best students in Russian and foreign organizations; have their own electronic system, where there are all courses in in electronic format where there is an opportunity to communicate with other students and teachers, discuss something and receive additional material; very developed scientific activity; close cooperation with EUSP, Bard College and NRU HSE St. Petersburg; not at all a typical Russian, but a very European education (for St. Petersburg State University as a whole, this is not typical, except for GSOM and us, few people are guided by Europe); forced not to cram for the sake of evaluation, but to think and analyze; it is not just an education, but a family - a way of life and thoughts; training in the historical center of the city; teach independence and critical thinking.
10. my verdict: definitely worth doing for those who want to get high-quality, comprehensive, modern education- you will not be disappointed for sure, all students really like this cool place)
