Congratulations with the “Day of Knowledge” and welcome to Polytech!

Every year we celebrate the opening of the new academic year and organize the traditional Knowledge Day Festival. The Polytechnic University is happy to welcome new students and those who are continuing their studying at SPbPU.

This day will be especially exiting for foreign students, who have come Russia for the first time and they will feel the atmosphere of studying and students social life at the Polytech.

Finally, when all the entrance tests are over, the documents are approved, students ID cards are issued, you can take a break and get to know your future classmates, fellow students and teachers! The best way to do this is at the Polytech Knowledge Day Festival, which will be held on September 1, 2023.

At 10.00 on the official Vkontakte page, you will be able to see the welcome speech by the Rector Andrei Rudskoi.

The Festival will start on campus at 11.00. The event will be called «Step towards 125», and the leitmotif will be the upcoming 125th anniversary of the Polytechnic University. 10 thematic zones will be organized at the Festival: «Step towards creativity», «Step towards work», «Step towards opportunities», «Step towards community», «Step towards science», «Step towards support», «Step towards all good», «Step towards sports», «Step towards history», and «Step towards career». In a funny, friendly and informal atmosphere, students will be able to get acquainted with different areas of scientific, educational and social students life at SPbPU, as well as to take part in interactive events, and get acquainted with academic groups and win prizes.

As well, at the Festival there will be special zones organized by our partners: VKontakte, Sber, Young&&Yandex. We promise it will be very interesting and exciting!
