Russians take great pride in their schools and want to have best possible education. The FEFU is one of the best possibilities. Far Eastern Federal University is the largest institution of higher education in the Russian Far East. Its history dates back to 1899 - the year the Oriental Institute was established. In 2011, three other leading universities in the region were merged with Far Eastern Federal University: Far Eastern National Technical University(till 1993 it was the Polytechnic Institute named after Kuibyshev V.V.) , Pacific State University of Economics and Ussuriisk State Pedagogical Institute.

Nowadays the Far Eastern Federal University Development Program focuses on 6 priority areas: ocean resources, energy resources and energy-conserving technology, nano-systems and nano-materials, transportation and logistics, biomedical technology, and comprehensive coordination with Asia-Pacific countries. There are nine schools in the FEFU: the School of Engineering, the School of Humanities, the School of Natural Sciences, the School of Law, the School of Regional and International Studies, the School of Business and Public Administration and etc.

The students of the University have favourable conditions for study and research. But it is difficult to enter the University. Each faculty has a quota, which means that there is a limit on freshmen enrollment.

The FEFU teaches both full-time and part-time students. Our university has a four-year course of study for day-course students ( Bachelor program), five-year course of study for specialists and a six-year course for Master’s program and correspondence-course students. Students carry out course projects and, finally, write a thesis. The academic year begins in September and ends in July. Every semester takes exams. After graduating from the University the best students can enter postgraduate courses which last three years.

All subjects students study at the University are very interesting and useful. Usually at the first course they study Higher Mathematics, Physics, foreign language, the History of Russia and Introduction in speciality. Then at the second, third, fourth and fifth courses special subjects are taught. Attendance at the lectures and seminars is compulsory.

Many out-of-town students study at the FEFU. Living and studying at Far Eastern Federal University will benefit not only Russian students, but also their peers from abroad. More than 1,000 students from 22 countries worldwide are already studying at FEFU now. They can live in dormitories or in lodgings. The new campus of Far Eastern Federal University, situated in picturesque Ajax Bay on Russian Island (near Vladivostok), is a unique project that has no comparison in Russia. The keys to the new campus were officially handed over to the FEFU President during the APEC Summit, held on the FEFU campus in September 2012.

The new FEFU campus will have modern educational buildings with high-tech equipment, a student center with a library and multiple-access center, 11 dormitories with comfortable rooms, stadiums, swimming pools, a beautiful seafront promenade, beaches, a yacht club, dining halls and cafes, health centers, an exhibition center and much more.

The students’ life in the FEFU is interesting and diverse. Different students^, organizations work there, including sports, social and professional ones. There is a University band and a students’ theatre. A students’ newspaper is also published. Our graduates have found that studying at the University is excellent preparation for today^’s job market. FEFU offers high quality modern education and vast opportunities for the career development of its graduates.
