The 2025 admissions campaign has officially started at South Ural State University. The first applicant to submit documents was Vladimir Zabegaev, First Deputy Chairman of the Association of Veterans of the Special Military Operation of the Chelyabinsk Region and Advisor to the Head of the City on Working with Veterans of Military Operations.
The first applicant was traditionally greeted by the top management of the university: Rector Alexander Wagner, as well as the directors of all schools and institutes. The future student was congratulated and presented with gifts with the university's symbols.
“Every admissions campaign greets applicants with colossal changes, new educational programmes, including new content and form of their implementation, as well as an increase in the number of state-funded places. I am very grateful to the veterans, participants of the Special Military Operation (SVO), that they choose SUSU to obtain higher education here. This is a confirmation of their trust in us. We are doing a lot of work to organize the educational process of the SVO participants and their family members, we are organizing additional opportunities for comfortable learning,” noted the SUSU Rector Alexander Wagner.
Vladimir Zabegaev applied for a programme related to social work, emphasizing the importance of education for effective work in the field of social support for veterans.
“Each person wants to learn something new, especially now that great hopes are placed on us. Having received an in-demand speciality, I will be able to provide greater benefit for our people. Many of the SVO veterans enrol in universities throughout our country, because higher education is necessary in order to properly fill in your position. SUSU is considered one of the best universities in our country and offers a large number of relevant areas,” shared Vladimir.
Universities and our region provide comprehensive support to veterans wishing to obtain higher education.
“We receive a lot of requests for advice on entering universities. We are working in this direction and speaking with future students on determining their field of study. We especially thank SUSU for helping and consulting them. The university welcomes them warmly and live communication with specialists helps them choose the direction that will be most interesting and useful to them,” said Chairman of the Regional Association of Veterans of the Special Military Operation of the Chelyabinsk Region, Deputy of the City Duma Sergei Bormotov.
Applicants are informed on various issues related to admission at the Applicant Consultation Centre. University employees provide information on areas of training, benefits and discounts, and also help decide on the choice of major.
“This year, the number of state-funded places has increased by about 10-12%. We also have state-funded places for secondary vocational education programmes for the project that we are implementing jointly with the Chelyabinsk Forge and Press Plant and the Robot Plant. We collaborate with the Fatherland Defenders Fund, with various public organizations, wives, mothers, SVO participants, the Association of Special Military Operations Warriors, and throughout the year, work is carried out on professional consultations on entering the university,” said Deputy Chairperson of the Admissions Committee, Head of the SUSU Office for Strategic Work with Applicants Iulia Bolotina.
SUSU is implementing support measures for SVO participants and their family members. Thus, the Russian government has established 10% of the number of state-funded places in each area of training, and for those areas where there are not any, the university provides the opportunity to study with a 30% discount in Bachelor’s and Specialist degree programmes. For SVO participants who are receiving an education for the first time in Bachelor’s and Specialist degree programmes, the discount equals 100%.
