Saint Petersburg State University - SPSU (reviews)

Great place for getting not only theoretical knowledge but also soft skills. There were a lot of group projects, collaboration with business, and possibilities to learn more about real companies or even go and study abroad.

The ecology program was chosen by chance, but, fortunately, I never regretted entering. I can’t say that the lectures are incredibly interesting, but I found a couple of subjects quite fascinating. The classmates were very good, you can always find something to talk about with them (in this case, if you enter the program according to your desires, there will always be like-minded people). Unfortunately, hostels are located far from the city if you do not enter as foreign students or taking into account Olympiads in specialized subjects. I can note that St Petersburg University is indeed in cooperation with other universities, including foreign ones. This allows you to study in European and Asian countries, which I can personally confirm.

If you are looking for programming, this is not for you. Personally, I came across strange teachers in three courses specifically in programming. I had to do everything myself. Mathematics was given as a base, I liked everything. I especially remember mathematical analysis and probabilistic-statistical analysis, there were cool teachers)

This university is one of the best in Russia. SPbU gives the students a lot of opportunities for realization students’ Projects and abilities.
The University justly holds a high position in the international rankings. There are a lot of possibilities for participating in international events, conferences and student exchanges. The professors are supportive and encouraging.
