EntranceThe FEFU admissions committee gives recommendations to applicants for enrollment in the university. Far Eastern Federal University FEFU admissions committee applicant lists
FEFU admissions campaign: interim results.
More than 5,000 applicants have already submitted applications to the FEFU admissions committee. Look forward to two more weeks of work.
This week, the Far Eastern Federal University “stepped over the equator” of the 2012 admissions campaign, which started on June 20. Acceptance of documents from applicants for bachelor's and specialty programs will last until July 25. Let us remind you that this year the target numbers for admission to budget places at FEFU remained at the 2011 level, while the enrollment plan for master’s programs increased sharply (by 70%).
“In 2012, unfortunately, we are still observing a demographic hole, but it is encouraging that there is no sharp decline - the number of school graduates this year is approximately equal to the level of 2011. One cannot but rejoice at the fact that in a number of Unified State Exam subjects in the Primorsky Territory, exams were passed a little better than last year,” Andrey Shushin, deputy chairman of the FEFU Admissions Committee, outlined the situation. – The number of graduates who passed only two exams has sharply decreased; At the same time, the number of high school students passing four exams has increased significantly, which significantly expands their opportunities for admission to universities and allows universities to offer graduates a wider range of educational programs.”
The priority for high school students is still the set of exams “Russian language + mathematics + social studies”, with which they can enroll in a number of economic and humanitarian programs. At the same time, the “love” for physics is returning: 500 more graduates of Primorye schools passed the set of exams “Russian language + mathematics + physics” this year than last year. The number of former eleventh-graders who have “Russian language + mathematics + geography” remains at approximately the same level, and the number of applicants with the “Russian language + mathematics + chemistry” set has even increased slightly.
“Continuing to attract the most prepared applicants to FEFU, this year we have expanded the list of programs to which you can enroll not just by passing the general minimum for the Unified State Exam, but by “stepping over” the score threshold established by the university itself,” noted Andrei Nikolaevich. “Last year there were 19 such programs, and this year there are 26. The first half of the admissions campaign showed that we made the right choice, and the quality of FEFU applicants has increased significantly.”
This year, the interest of applicants in the activities of the FEFU admissions committee on the Internet has sharply increased: the number of site views has almost doubled, surpassing the figure of 50 thousand views per day. Every day the counter records up to five thousand unique visitors to the site. At the same time, the number of documents that applicants submit electronically is growing rapidly.
In 2011, the call center of the FEFU Admissions Committee (8-800-555-0-888 - free calls within Russia) opened its doors for the first time, which receives up to 700 calls a day from applicants from all over the country. Starting this week, for greater convenience for applicants from the central regions of the country, the call center of the admissions committee has switched to round-the-clock operation.
The geography of FEFU applicants is also expanding: in three weeks, the admissions committee received documents from 43 regions, while the number of applicants from Western Siberia, the Urals and the central regions of Russia is growing. In 2012, Kurgan, Belgorod, Volgograd, Voronezh, Kaliningrad, Orenburg, Yaroslavl regions and Altai Territory appeared for the first time in the list of subjects from which applications came.
“We are also continuing the competition for high scorers, which we announced last year. Our example has already been followed by many other universities not only in Primorye. In 2012, as in 2011, we consider an applicant to be a high-scoring applicant who scored 200 points or more in three Unified State Examinations. We have already received 766 applications from such applicants. Last year, in the first academic semester, 557 high-scoring students received increased scholarships,” emphasized Andrei Shushin.
Applications from high-scoring students have already been received from more than 30 constituent entities of the Russian Federation, of which 176 are from outside Primorye. If they enter FEFU, they will be compensated for travel from home to their place of study.
To date, more than 5,000 unique applicants have submitted applications to the FEFU admissions committee, which exceeds the figures recorded on the same day in 2011. On average, one FEFU applicant submits 2.5 applications. The majors in greatest demand among today's schoolchildren are “Architecture”, “Oil and Gas Engineering”, “State and Municipal Administration”, “International Relations”, “Advertising and Public Relations”.
1,790 applicants were admitted to the Far Eastern Federal University for budget places in full-time undergraduate and specialist programs in the “first wave”. The corresponding orders were signed on August 3. Previously, 386 applicants, as well as four graduates from the Republic of Crimea, were accepted on benefits, without exams and as part of targeted enrollment. Thus, 2,180 people have already been enrolled in the first year.
As FEFU Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs and Educational Affairs Andrey Shushin said, the target enrollment figures for the “budget” approved by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation have been achieved by 80%. There are 20% of places left for the “second wave” of bachelor’s and specialist’s programs.
Applicants at the second stage must remember that the originals of educational documents and consent to enrollment must be provided to the FEFU admissions committee before 18.00 on August 6. The orders will be signed on August 8.
Applicants who do not qualify for the general budget competition will be able to conclude an agreement with the university on the provision of paid educational services until August 31. The university also provides the opportunity to study at the expense of the federal budget in correspondence bachelor's and specialty programs - applications are accepted at the admissions committee until August 20, contract enrollment will last until September 15.
Let us remind you that as part of the 2016 admissions campaign, 8,663 applicants from 75 constituent entities of the Russian Federation submitted documents for full-time bachelor’s and specialist’s programs at FEFU. The geography of applicants covered absolutely all regions of the Far Eastern, Siberian, Ural, Northwestern and Southern federal districts, as well as most of the Volga and central regions. The share of applicants from outside the Primorsky Territory reached 45%, and the average competition was nine people per budget place.
Opening hours of the FEFU admissions office: from 9.00 to 19.00 (Monday-Friday) and from 9.00 to 17.00 (Saturday). You can get answers to your questions by calling the hotline: 8-800-555-0-888 (toll-free within Russia) and by email
For those who don’t like to read for a long time, here’s some advice: if you didn’t study well at school, are not overly curious and have a thirst for knowledge, and your Unified State Exam scores are enough to cover your budget, you can go to FEFU. If you need serious, modern knowledge, you want to learn and master as much as possible in your future profession, there is nothing for you to do here, especially for the so-called high-scoring students, you have a huge choice, why should you choose a university with the worst rating among federal universities. It also makes no sense to study here for a fee; the price/quality ratio is perhaps the worst in Russia; for your money you can easily find something better. The only exception is oriental languages, where the quality is still decent.
Now who cares about the details? First of all, you need to understand that there are two FEFU: one is an ostentatious brand, which you can read about on the FEFU website and whose buildings you can admire, and the second is FEFU as an educational institution, mediocre and provincial.
Let's start with the teachers. If during your entire study you come across 2-3 people who deeply know their subject at a modern level and are able and willing to teach, you are lucky. Usually they either can’t or don’t want to, and often both together. But there aren’t enough of them either; it happens that there are no classes in any discipline for 2-3 months, until they find at least someone, even not particularly versed in the subject, if only he could at least somehow conduct something and arrange what -ratings.
On the website you can read that teachers from leading Russian and foreign universities are invited to teach classes at FEFU... Such a person will come from Moscow for a week, speak haughtily of common truths and leave, taking with him an amount equal to the annual salary of an ordinary teacher, which is what he came here for. and drove. Believe me, you won’t get anything useful out of this.
Now the material base. Yes, the buildings and nature are beautiful, there are no words. And on the website you can read about the unique equipment available at FEFU. Of course there is something that works. But very often the picture is different: yes, they bought the equipment, it’s expensive, it’s unique, but it just sits in boxes because no one needs it, there’s no one to work with it, they bought it for show and a kickback. And it also happens: they bought something expensive and unique, very necessary, installed it, launched it... And then the FEFU management “discovered” that it still required maintenance and consumables, and it was a shame to allocate money for this, excuse the expression. So it sits there, gathering dust and becoming obsolete. Walk along the laboratory building, look into the windows of the first floor, you will see a lot of empty laboratories, with equipment, but without people, and unpacked boxes. It’s true that recently, in some places, blinds have been hung, otherwise people are starting to ask uncomfortable questions about what the money is spent on... You won’t read about this on the website. And about computer classes, where there is outright scrap metal, and out of 15 computers there may be only 5 working ones. And about the fact that not so long ago FEFU lost its only old supercomputer, inherited from FEFU, but there is no new one and there won’t be one. But you will read about virtual reality, cloud technologies and high-performance computing. But they will teach you this on a regular board and leaves.
But this is not the worst thing. There is also a team (or maybe it would be more correct to say a gang) under the leadership of rector A*****. These are people who know nothing about the education system, who have come to replace those who once made FENU the leaders of education in the Far East, who created FEFU in its early years. All these professionals were removed. In their place are the rector's friends - people who came to help him milk the university. People whose all decisions are subject to one principle: the flow of money past their pockets should be as small as possible. Teachers should be cut. So what if there is no one to teach classes. The number of employees will be reduced; the schedule will now be drawn up by a program. The result is that in the fall of 2018, the university studied for two months without a schedule. Student groups cannot be divided into parts; this is double expenses; let the entire group of 25 people sit in a classroom with 15 computers (of which, as you remember, half do not work). The science? What other money is there for science? Science itself must bring money and also feed them (officials).
But every year some new brilliant project is carried out, for which considerable money is allocated and used by the management. Perhaps the saddest is Bachelor's Degree 2.0 (2016). Now these students are finishing their 3rd year, they (and themselves) are not called anything other than “victims of bachelor’s degree 2.0”. It was necessary to think of this, to teach all students, of all directions, the entire first year the same thing, all sorts of nonsense without professional disciplines. Consider that they did not study for 4 years, but only 3. But here’s something new: in the fall of 2018 they tried to launch modular training. Died in miserable convulsions before it even started, they couldn’t create any schedule, let alone a modular one... Same fall 2018: the introduction of online courses into the curriculum is a pathetic attempt to save money on teachers and not pay for classroom lessons. And two weeks before the New Year, the fun began: the heads of the departments were feverishly looking for at least someone who was ready to quickly give at least some lectures in these disciplines and take tests in 2 weeks. And the curricula were hastily remade again (and this was in the midst of the school year!!!)
But on the FEFU website, in an appeal to applicants, it is written, they say, do not try to find out “how and what” from current students (of course, none of them will say anything good!). Like at FEFU everything is new every year and it will be different for you too. They are not lying about this, there will be another project, and you will be its victims.
In recent years, FEFU has not been a developing, but a declining university. The statistics on the website regarding the number of students are a blatant lie. The number of students is steadily falling, now there are fewer of them than there were in only FENU before the merger (and 4 large universities merged). The number of teachers has been reduced by more than half, you won’t find anything about this on the website. Teaching and support staff have been fired in the hundreds and continue to be fired, and their number is precisely tied to the number of students.
But the management proudly declares that FEFU has risen from some 630th place to 570th in the world rankings. But believe me, such a ridiculous rise is very easy to achieve through primitive manipulation of indicators that affect the rating. Like the share of foreign students. We recruit fewer of our own, more foreigners - that’s all. In general, foreign students are a separate source of special pride! Unless, of course, you look at where most of them come from. And these are countries like Pakistan, whose poverty does not allow them to get a job at a normal university, but they do not have their own universities. Even the Chinese don’t go to FEFU (they go, but only to learn Russian - for the rest they have their own universities, cheaper and better). But to get into the top hundred of the rankings this way (the dream of all Russian universities) is a lower chance than the Russian national football team to become a world champion.
To summarize: FEFU is an ordinary mediocre provincial university, excessively advertised and embellished. Showing off appears everywhere and in everything. A small touch: a multi-level parking lot in front of building D, between it and the main road there are two now inconspicuous speakers, covered with film and covered with some kind of advertising. When the next international forum is held at FEFU in September, they unpack them beforehand and hang up a huge poster saying that these are charging stations for electric vehicles, saying, look how cool we are! And after the forum they will pack it back until next year. And this is what FEFU is all about.

Results of the 2017 admissions campaign: 7001 students from 66 regions of Russia were enrolled in FEFU
7,001 students from 66 regions of the Russian Federation were enrolled in the Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU) at all levels and forms of study following the results of the 2017 admissions campaign. The results of the recruitment were presented at a meeting of the FEFU Academic Council, which was chaired by the acting rector of the university Nikita Anisimov on September 29.
SET STRUCTURE
FEFU accepted 4,479 people into bachelor's and specialist's programs, 1,851 students into master's programs, 519 into secondary vocational education programs, and 136 people into graduate school. Also in 2017, FEFU for the first time opened enrollment in residency programs, where 16 young doctors were enrolled.
MOST POPULAR
As Nikita Anisimov noted earlier, 2017 applicants relied on training programs that meet the university’s development priorities: “International Relations”, “Regional Studies”, “Oriental Studies”, biomedical specialties, areas related to the development and study of the World Ocean. The competition for the most popular undergraduate programs reached 25-30 people per budget place, and the university average exceeded 8 people per place.
WHERE HIGH SCORES GO TO
High competition also ensured the highest passing scores in programs focused on the study of the Asia-Pacific region: “International Relations” - 267, “Oriental and African Studies” - 260, “Foreign Regional Studies” - 255, “Fundamental and Applied Linguistics” - 254, “Philology (foreign languages)” - 250.
A high-scorer at FEFU is the one who scores 230+ points in three or 320+ in four exams. In 2017, 628 such students were enrolled in budget places (567 in 2016). Those admitted to the first year with high scores receive an increased scholarship from the first semester, and for those arriving from other regions, the university also pays all travel expenses - this year 336 people will receive compensation (a year ago - 291).
GEOGRAPHY OF APPLICANTS
The geography of the 2017 admissions campaign at FEFU broke records twice. The first time was at the stage of accepting documents, when applicants from 80 regions of the Russian Federation submitted applications to the university (the previous record was set in 2015 - 76 regions). Based on the results of enrollment, the admissions committee again recorded a record high - students were accepted from 66 regions (in 2016 - 63). All districts of the country are covered, which confirms that FEFU is truly a federal university.
37% of first-year students came to study at FEFU from outside the Primorsky Territory, and in some areas this figure reached 70-90%. The most attractive programs for applicants from all over Russia were Philology, Conflictology, Oriental Studies, Medical Biophysics, Foreign Regional Studies, General Medicine, Linguistics, and Journalism.
RECRUITMENT 2018
The admission rules and student enrollment plan for 2018 will be published on the FEFU website on October 1. Full information about the conditions for admission, the number of budget places, entrance examinations, passing scores for 2011-2017, deadlines for submitting documents and stages of enrollment will be posted. Questions from applicants and their parents will be answered by calling the hotline: 8-800-555-0-888 (calls within Russia are free), by email and on the page “FEFU Applicants” on VKontakte.
