Freshman's guide

Hello!

Congratulations, you have become a part of a big and friendly family - KSTU!

Our motto is we are united in our quest to be the best!

We wish you success on the path you have chosen!

Dear freshmen!

Today each of you is on a new stage of your life: school life is behind you and the exciting student years are ahead. Many people consider them to be the best years of their lives. I hope you can say the same about your studies at Kaliningrad State Technical University, the oldest industry-based institution of higher education in the Russian Federation. Its history has many glorious pages. You, following your predecessors, will have to replenish them.

Today one can often hear about the great demand and even shortage of qualified engineers. Our university has been supplying the labour market with competent specialists for several generations. But it is important to know that it is not so easy to get a diploma of higher education in the walls of technical universities. To do this, a student must apply all their efforts and skills. The university is ready to provide you with all the necessary assistance on this path.

You will be guided to knowledge by wise teachers and experienced university staff. In particular, the guidebook, that you are holding in your hands now, will help you take the first independent steps in the new student world. Welcome to our big friendly family of KSTU`s university complex, which includes not only the university itself, but also the Baltic Fishing Fleet State Academy, Kaliningrad Maritime Fishery College and St. Petersburg Maritime Fishery College.
Bon voyage!
