What’s in store for applicants-2025?
October 26, hundreds of future applicants and their parents came to the Open Day to know about the rules for admission to higher education institutions and current areas of training.
USUE admits applicants for all levels of education: college, bachelor’s degree, specialist’s degree and master’s degree programs, and postgraduate school. The executive secretary of the USUE Admissions Committee, USUE professor Maxim Maramygin, spoke about the admission rules:
“In 2025, all over Russia, including USUE, accepting documents from applicants will begin on June 20 for all levels of education. Those planning to receive higher education can choose 5 universities and 5 areas of training in each. In the application, you will set priorities so that during the enrollment procedure, the admissions committee could consider your candidacy sequentially in several competitions based on the results of the entrance examinations. If you doubt your abilities, you can apply to participate in the competition for studies with tuition fee. “
According to the admission rules, school leavers should submit the results of the Unified State Exam. Technical schools and colleges graduates should submit the results of internal exams. Foreign citizens may take entrance exams at a university. The exact number of state-funded places for bachelor’s and master’s degrees courses will be specified on January 20.
However, the number of state-funded places at the USUE College is already known. For 9th grade school students, a competition will be opened for 60 places in four areas of training: Information Systems and Programming, Land Management, Trade, and Jurisprudence, i.e. 15 places for each. The number of places on a fee-paying basis will be set by June 1, 2025.
Besides, applicants will have the opportunity to enter within the employer-sponsored educational quotas through the “Work in Russia” portal.
“However, there will be also competition for employer-sponsored places. Even if an employer selects you, this does not guarantee admission to a university within this quota. There are usually fewer vacancies than candidates. They choose the best based on the total number of points,” Professor Maramygin emphasized.
Then, in the open-microphone format, the head of the USUE Admissions and Pre-University Training Department, Irina Martyanova, answered the guests’ questions. Future applicants and their parents showed interest in the rules for providing dormitory accommodation, the minimum number of points required for admission, how individual achievements are considered, and who can apply for admission under special rights.
“I am an 11th grader. They told me about the Open Day at USUE at school. I am planning to apply for Municipal Administration and Jurisprudence within a special quota. My dad is in the area of a special military operation,” Ilya Ukolov, a student at School No. 75 in Yekaterinburg, said.
“I entered the College after the 9th grade, but after studying there for a year, I realized it was not for me, and returned to school, to the 11th grade. This summer I want to enter a university. I am considering several areas of study, including Management. Friends told me about the Open Day at USUE and I came to learn the admission policies and get answers to my questions,” Marina Firuleva, a student at School No. 127 in Yekaterinburg, said.
Among the guests of the first Open Day at USUE, there were some people who decided to start preparing for university admission right now. For example, Lyubov Tishkina from Verkhnyaya Pyshma is in the 10th grade now, but the schoolgirl has already decided on the subjects she will take for the Unified State Exam.
“In 2 years, I plan to take the Unified State Exam in Russian, history and social science, and I am considering in advance what areas of training might be interesting to me. I found out about the Open Day at USUE when I saw an advertisement in the metro,” a student from School No. 4 in Verkhnyaya Pyshma said.
After the formal part, everyone moved to the Mirror Hall of the USUE House of Culture, where the directors of the Institutes and College and heads of departments spoke in more detail about university life, extracurricular activities, accommodation in dormitories for nonresident students and other opportunities USUE, the only specialized economic university in the Urals, offers to its students.
USUE will host the next Open Day on January 18, 2025.
