The University with more than 11,000 students is proud of its mission to provide pathways to university degrees and career qualifications and prepare graduates for employment both in Russian and international environment as well as in the reformed railway system. It is one of the leaders among Russian railway educational establishments.

The University’s facilities are of the highest quality and the academic staff is specially selected for the teaching skills and knowledge of the subjects. Many school leavers choose STU because its diplomas are of high academic standard and the university provides the graduates with opportunities that will enhance their future employment or promotion prospects. Our graduates can be found working everywhere from the Ministry of Railways and Local Administration Authorities to various railway companies. Students enrolled at our University take inspiration from the large number of students who successfully preceded them and now occupy high rank positions not only in railway network but in politics as well. They are able to make personal contacts that are of benefit to them in their professional and political career.

The professors develop courses that are highly regarded in the railway system because of the balance between theory and practical application. It prepares graduates to make a positive contribution to the professional railway community. The Railway Engineering Degree is structured so that students develop critical, analytical and evaluative skills and gain a sound background in all areas of their work.

The University provides engineering, railway construction, economics, information technology, construction management, International Business and Trade programmes. They include extensive English, German, French, Chinese and Japan language training. The foreign language courses prepare students for a variety of real life situations.
