A ceremony of signing the order on enrolment of applicants to state-funded places within the framework of the 2025 Admissions Campaign took place at South Ural State University. From September 1st, more than 1700 first-year students will begin training in advanced academic programmes in the fields of engineering, robotics, computer technology and artificial intelligence, in the humanities, economics and natural sciences.
The Admissions Campaign set several records: for the first time in recent years, the number of applications accepted for all forms of study reached 50000, and the number of applicants exceeded 15000. Young people's interest in technical specialties has grown significantly: the competition in some training areas reached 40 people per place.
“My sincere congratulations to the applicants who chose South Ural State University to receive high-quality and modern education in demand on the market,” Rector Alexander Wagner addressed the applicants. “Amazing years filled with studies, creativity, new knowledge, acquaintances and career advancements are ahead!”
The Rector noted that this year's school graduates, who enrolled in our university, demonstrate that they had received training of a fundamentally new quality: the noticeable increase in the average Unified State Exam score in almost all areas and specialties is proof of that.
The most popular areas this year are: Informatics and Computer Engineering; Applied Informatics; Applied Mathematics and Informatics; Software Engineering; Information Systems and Technologies; Construction; Electrical Power Engineering; Information Security; and Jurisprudence.
The geography of admission has also expanded significantly. Applications for admission were submitted not only by residents of the Ural Federal District, but also by large regions of central Russia and the Siberian Federal District − a total of 76 subjects of the Russian Federation.
The university will announce the final results of the Admissions Campaign in a month, when orders for enrolment in contract-based education are signed.
