The first qualifying stage of the Open Doors Olympiad is coming to an end

November 20 marks the end of the first qualifying stage of the International Olympiad Open Doors: Russian Scholarship Project. This is an opportunity for international students to enter Polytech without entrance examinations and study absolutely free of charge (at the expense of the Russian Federation budget).

If you are graduating from a higher school, Bachelor’s or Master’s program in 2025, you still have the opportunity to register on the website of the International Olympiad Open Doors.

Hafiz Ul Asad, a Master’s student at the Civil Engineering Institute, shared his thoughts on choosing Polytechnic University.

«I chose to study in Russia because Russian universities, especially SPbPU, have a long and outstanding history of training top-notch engineers. They offer access to state-of-the-art equipment and resources, which is an important factor for my studies.

I found out about the Olympiad from Polytech’s website. This is a unique opportunity for me, as an international student, to get a scholarship to enter leading Russian universities. The Olympiad opens the doors to access high quality education and provides a chance to gain valuable international experience.

Polytech stands out for its strong reputation for engineering and cutting-edge research. A friendly student community is actively fostered here, which promotes both academic and personal growth.

SPbPU is a well-respected university known for its innovative approach to education and research. It offers a supportive learning environment, providing many resources to support international students throughout their academic journey. I am actively involved in various student activities and am a member of the Polytech International Students’ Council.

I recommend other students to take part in the Open Doors Olympiad. It is a real chance to get a world-class education and the opportunity to study in a culturally rich and academically stimulating environment.»
