The Department for preparation of foreign citizens is certified by the Russian Federation Ministry of Education and Science for the implementation of university entrance programs.
All training programs comply with the state educational requirements. They will allow foreign citizens to master professional educational programs, which were developed with the active participation of specialists of the Higher School of International Education Programs (HS IEP) of SPbPU.
