KSUAE: 2025 Results – Education

KSUAE: 2025 Results – Education

One of the main focuses of our university is education. We strive to provide students with a high-quality, internationally competitive education. This is especially important in today's complex political environment. Our Russia must be strong, powerful, and independent, and this will largely depend on today's students—the future of our country. They must be more advanced specialists than their peers abroad. Our efforts and responsible approach to student learning are yielding positive results.

In 2025, a total of approximately 2,000 students were enrolled across all levels and modes of study, significantly more than last year. Moreover, a significant proportion of applicants (over 50.5%) were admitted to non-budgeted programs in architecture and engineering, which is a very high indicator of the demand for our KSUAE.

What is being done at the university to prepare highly competitive specialists?

1. We accept top-notch students with high Unified State Exam scores. To this end, we introduce as many schoolchildren as possible to our international-level campus. To date, approximately 5,000 schoolchildren have visited us. And to inspire a visit, we suggest watching our wonderful video about our university! (watch the video). By the way, January 25, 2026, is Open Day; you're welcome!

2. We continue to create international-level research and education centers (RECs); today, there are 25 of them, in all areas of study (watch the video).

3. These wonderful RECs provide practice-oriented education, where applied science is closely intertwined with education. I'll talk about our science and the scientists and practitioners who are renowned in our country and abroad in my next post.

4. And, of course, we support our students in their desire to acquire knowledge. We create an environment where students don't want to leave the university, but rather want to return again and again. At the core of this desire, of course, is our wonderful campus and the unique corporate relationships at our university, where a student is a junior colleague!

The high employment rate of our graduates and their successful participation in various major competitions with a clear and transparent assessment system reflect the quality of our educational activities.

Every year, the Federal Educational and Methodological Association (FEMA) of the Russian Federation holds All-Russian Student Olympiads, where our leadership position is clearly evident. In Table 2, we have attempted to summarize the olympiad results across all areas. FMA also holds an annual competition of final qualifying theses. Here, too, we are leaders.
