KSUAE: 2025 results – reseacrh activity

Research is one of our core activities, enabling us to: - train students with innovation-oriented thinking; - implement our developments today, rather than in the distant future and earn money by completing work commissioned by industry; - strengthen our departments with young scientists; - contribute to Russia's achievement of scientific and technological sovereignty.

Significant implemented developments based on scientific and experimental research include different scientific and technical support for the construction sites projects. 

It's wonderful that everyone, especially young people—undergraduates, graduate students, and assistants—are interested in science at our university. This is crucial for strengthening our scientific schools. All the necessary conditions have been created for this purpose at our internationally recognized research and education centers. In 2025, three more centers were opened (bringing the total to 25), and we acquired or received a significant amount of experimental equipment and devices from partners. This has resulted in successful participation in various events: - Undergraduate and graduate students became winners of the sixth stage of the "Student Startup" program (18 winners); - The Kazan Mayor's Scholarship Competition (9 winners); - Republican Scientific Awards to Support Young Scientists in the Republic of Tatarstan (4 winners); - Russian Federation Government and Presidential Scholarship Competition (3 winners); - "Best Young Scientist of the Republic of Tatarstan" Competition (2 winners), and others; - Assistant Professor at the ADMT Department, E. Novitsky, won the 2nd Competition for Young Scientists of the Russian Federation in the "New Horizons in the Construction Industry" category; - and others.

There were many other events as well:

- The scientific journal "Izvestia KGASU" was included in the Unified State List of Scientific Publications - the "White List" of scientific journals of the Russian Federation; - PhD and doctoral dissertation defenses took place in our Higher Attestation Commission (HAC) Dissertation Councils; - We held and participated in scientific conferences; - Our scientists visited a number of foreign universities in Kazakhstan, China, Egypt, India, Brazil, Armenia, Belarus, and elsewhere; - In turn, we were visited by colleagues from many countries – Brazil, South Africa, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, India, Iran, and the Central African Republic; - During the visits of our foreign colleagues and our visits to universities in other countries, a number of agreements were signed; - Students held science battles, intellectual quizzes (KISI-QUIZ), thematic meetings, master classes, stand-up comedy, open lectures, and much more.

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.
