St. Petersburg State Polytechnical University's Mission Statement

SPbSPU was founded in 1899 as the largest and most advanced engineering educational university in Russia. The University has been set up as a very special place destined for much more that the ordinary. It was the institution originated with a distinctive character and a promise of high quality. From the beginning the University lived up to the aspirations of its founders. In 1910 with regards to its achievements it was given the highest honor to bear the name of Emperor Peter the Great. In years that followed the name of the University has been changed several times, but invariably it retained its outstanding position of one of the most highly regarded engineering educational centers. The hallmark of SPbSPU bears significance of the highest standard in teaching and research. The University adheres to the three long established traditions which it believes are of the utmost importance in education: to build every curriculum on a solid background of general theoretic science and mathematics to foster active learning through problem solving and through hands-on experience to encourages a pioneering spirit among its students by providing an environment for exploration. These goals are achieved via a challenging curriculum, instruction by experienced full-time faculty members in comparatively small classes, students' research of their own under guidance by a tutor, an opportunity for active involvement in ongoing research projects.
