The Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University held an online educational forum for future masters, attended by students from all over Russia. The event was traditionally organized by the SPbPU Applicant Work Center.
The forum was held online for the fifth time, which allowed to attract participants from different regions of the country. More than 500 applications were received, and 470 people successfully completed the program. Students were able to listen to lectures, ask questions and get advice on further education and career.
Leonid Potapov, Head of the ITAT Training System Development Program of the Gazprom Neft Information Technology, Automation and Telecommunications Department, spoke at the opening of the forum. He spoke about the development of IT competencies in modern business and shared the company’s view on the training of young specialists.
The forum program covered key areas of training at the Polytechnic University — from high-tech engineering specialties and applied biotechnology to economics, management, and the humanities. Participants not only learned about modern challenges in their fields, but also had the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the nuances of future professions. Various master classes and interactive sessions were organized for this purpose.
Particular attention was paid to preparing for the portfolio competition, one of the tools for admission to the Polytechnic University Master’s program. Thanks to it, applicants’ achievements are taken into account during admission: participation in forums, publications, research activities, professional experience, etc. The points scored can significantly increase the chances of admission to the chosen educational program. Participation in the forum and successful completion of tasks provide an opportunity to receive additional points for the portfolio.
We strive to create the most comfortable conditions for students to make a conscious choice of their educational trajectory. The success of applicants in their professional career depends on how carefully they approach the choice of a master’s program. The forum helps future master’s students better understand what area they want to develop in and what direction to build their career in, – noted the project manager, leading analyst of the Directorate of Continuing Education and Industry Partnership Natalia Ivanova.
Over the course of four intense days, participants worked with theoretical materials, analyzed real cases, and learned practical solutions from industry experts. Students learned to identify errors, develop recommendations, and offer their own options for project development. This practical focus significantly increased the level of involvement of participants and prepared them for the possible challenges that await them on their professional path.
Following the forum, 238 participants became winners of the competition tasks and will receive an additional 45 points when entering the Polytechnic University Master’s program.
The forum turned out to be an excellent opportunity to get acquainted with current trends in various industries and understand which competencies are most in demand today. Practical tasks for solving a case were especially useful and exciting for me, since they gave the opportunity to immediately apply the acquired knowledge in practice, – noted forum participant Maria Korchevnyuk.
The forum became not only an important stage in the preparation of future masters, but also a platform for the exchange of experience and ideas, which will undoubtedly serve as the basis for the further professional growth of its participants.
