International Polytechnic Winter School 2022 started at SPbPU

The International Polytechnic Winter School online started at SPbPU. The new season brings together more than 450 international students from 20 countries, including China, Germany, France, Portugal, Croatia, Italy, India, and many others. From January to March, Polytechnic University will host 26 programs, six of which will be held for the first time. These programs are «Transport Machinery», «Project Management for Sustainable Development», «Quantitative Finance: Financial Markets», «HR Analytics and Human Capital Development», «Russia in the World», and «World Languages and TESOL». As always, the successful completion of the courses will result in international certificates with ECTS credits, which participants will be able to use at their home universities.

Among the participants of the International Polytechnic Winter School 2022, there are many students from SPbPU partner universities: Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University, Shanghai Maritime University (all universities in the PRC), Munich Technical University (Germany), etc. In general, this season there is a significant increase in participants from China. This is largely due to the activity of the official representative office of SPbPU in Shanghai.

Foreign students of the International Polytechnic Winter School will study space technology, engineering, and natural sciences, civil engineering, Russian language, and culture. And in their free time, they traditionally have a rich cultural program, which will also be held online. The participants will go on an interactive walk around the campus of the Polytechnic University and take part in a virtual tour of the Hermitage.

Our institute organizes several winter school modules at once: Space Technologies: Fundamentals, The IoT Physical Layer: Design and Implementation and Digital Engineering in Micro- and Nanoelectronics, which have been successfully held at the Polytechnic University for several years in a row. The unrelenting interest of students helps us develop and introduce new material into the school curriculum.
