The Preparatory Faculty was created in 1965.

The first dean of the faculty, A.N. Nosov, had to create the structure of the faculty, form a team, and determine the functions of each department.

Three departments were created:
🇷🇺Department of Russian Language
🔬Department of Natural Sciences
📖Department of Humanities

The first 200 students arrived from Cuba, Arab countries and African countries

Когда я приехала в Россию, я была знакома с некоторыми русскими словами. Здесь учителя начинают учить студентов русскому языку с букв. Для меня было удивительно, как через полтора месяца я смогла понимать разговоры на русском и даже участвовать в них. Время пролетело незаметно, и я начала знакомиться с иностранными и русскими студентами, чтобы общаться

Помимо занятий, на подготовительном факультете есть много интересного, например, часто проводится круглый стол, когда студенты из разных стран собираются вместе и обсуждают актуальные вопросы. Я думаю, что это очень хороший способ завести новых друзей и научиться хорошо говорить по-русски

For many graduates, the time spent studying at the preparatory faculty was one of the most vivid impressions of Russia. We decided to ask our graduates what they filled their preparatory faculty with

Hanaa Itri 🇲🇦graduated from the preparatory faculty in 2016, a graduate of IIMET, opened her own business in Russia, and now works as a leading specialist in the education department in the international education department at SPbSUT

When I arrived in Russia, I was familiar with some Russian words. Here, teachers start teaching students Russian from the letters. It was amazing to me how after a month and a half I was able to understand conversations in Russian and even participate in them. Time flew by, and I began to meet foreign and Russian students in order to communicate

In addition to classes, the preparatory faculty has a lot of interesting things, for example, a round table is often held when students from different countries get together and discuss current issues. I think it's a very good way to make new friends and learn to speak Russian well
