Postgraduates Studies

POSTGRADUATE STUDIES

1. Russ­ian and for­eign cit­i­zens with high­er pro­fes­sion­al edu­ca­tion (Spe­cial­ists [5 years] or M. Sci. lev­els; not Sci.) and cre­ative sci­en­tif­ic achieve­ments might be admit­ted to the Post­grad­u­ates Stud­ies Pro­grams on a com­pet­i­tive basis with the train­ing costs cov­ered by the State bud­get of the Russ­ian Fed­er­a­tion. Per­sons, who did not pass through the com­pe­ti­tion, might be admit­ted to the Post­grad­u­ates Stud­ies Pro­grams on a paid basis (with full train­ing costs). Per­sons with­out cit­i­zen­ship are admit­ted to the Post­grad­u­ates Stud­ies Pro­grams on the gen­er­al grounds pro­vid­ing doc­u­ments con­firm­ing the eli­gi­bil­i­ty of their stay in the Russ­ian Fed­er­a­tion (See: the «Grad­u­ate School Admis­sion» Sec­tion; http://spbftu.ru/aspirantura/o‑prieme-vaspiranturu- 2 /).

The post-grad­u­ate (Ph.D.) stu­dents enrolled in the full-time train­ing with the train­ing costs cov­ered by the State bud­get of the Russ­ian Fed­er­a­tion are paid stipend start­ing from the enroll­ment date.

The post-grad­u­ate (Ph.D.) stu­dents’ indi­vid­ual research plans and top­ics of the­ses (dis­ser­ta­tions) are approved by the Rec­tor of St. Peters­burg State For­est Tech­ni­cal University.

The sci­en­tif­ic super­vi­sor con­trols the imple­men­ta­tion of the post-grad­u­ate (Ph.D.) student’s approved indi­vid­ual research plan. The sci­en­tif­ic super­vi­sor is appoint­ed by the Rec­tor of the Uni­ver­si­ty for each post-grad­u­ate (Ph.D.) stu­dent simul­ta­ne­ous­ly with his/her enroll­ment to the Uni­ver­si­ty. Non-res­i­dent full-time post-grad­u­ate stu­dents are pro­vid­ed with a room (shared) in a dormitory.

The Ph.D. exam­i­na­tions (in a spe­cial dis­ci­pline, his­to­ry and phi­los­o­phy of sci­ence and a for­eign lan­guage) are con­duct­ed dur­ing the inter­me­di­ate cer­ti­fi­ca­tion peri­od in the autumn and spring ses­sions (see: the «Inter­me­di­ate Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion» sec­tion http://spbftu.ru/aspirantura/promezhutochnaya-attestatsiya/).

Cur­rent­ly, some 100 post-grad­u­ate (Ph.D.) stu­dents are trained in St. Peters­burg State For­est Tech­ni­cal University.
