FEFU, whose faculties and specialties are the most popular in the Far East, has released a huge number of first-class specialists over its long history. For 116 years of its existence, the Eastern Institute has managed to become a university of federal importance, its graduates are in demand around the world.
University History
In 1899, FEFU, whose faculties and specialties are today interested in many applicants throughout Russia and abroad, was opened under the name Oriental Institute. Then the teaching staff was recruited from graduates of the University of St. Petersburg, who had a long practice abroad. Thanks to this, the university began to play a crucial role for the developing region at that time.
In 1920, the institute was then merged with a number of private universities and began to be called the State Far Eastern University. In 1930 and 1939, the university was closed for ideological reasons, but later reopened. As of 1956, it was called the Far Eastern State University, it consisted of five faculties.
The university continued to actively develop; by 2009, it included about 50 representative offices and branches, some of them located abroad. This was the reason for joining a number of local universities to the FENU and creating a single educational institution. This is how the FEFU (Vladivostok) was formed, which in 2013 opened its doors to everyone.
How to proceed?
To enter this university, you will need to submit a number of standard documents: a copy and the original passport, certificate of passing the exam, a copy and the original certificate of secondary education, as well as fill out an application form for admission to the university.

If a potential student has any documents that give him an advantage in admission or simply indicate his talents, they must also be presented to the admissions committee. Despite the fact that the decision on admission is mainly made on the basis of points scored by the applicant, the selection committee can give priority to the applicant who will offer to get acquainted with his talents.
University Chairs
If a potential student intends to apply to FEFU, whose departments are famous for their professionalism, he must definitely decide on the choice of specialty. In total, there are 25 departments in the university, to one of which a new student will later be attached as a graduate. Particularly popular are the departments of oil and gas business and petrochemistry, instrument engineering, as well as architecture and urban planning.
Scientific research is constantly conducted at each of them, professors conduct scientific councils, where not only students' work is discussed, but also the latest publications on professional topics. Supervisors constantly offer students opportunities for development in the form of writing publications and visiting scientific meetings and other events in the specialty.
University invites to visit!
Every year, the university holds an open day, FEFU seeks to show future applicants what exactly awaits them in case of admission. As a rule, this event is held in March-April, these dates were not chosen by chance, because most of the school graduates at this time begin to choose their future place of study.
Students usually prepare a large presentation for the open day , which tells in detail about the university, its history and development prospects. Potential students, along with their parents, can ask all the necessary questions to the university teachers, as well as to the students present. The event is also usually attended by one of the members of the selection committee to provide all the necessary information for applicants for admission.
FEFU Engineering School and its development
Not so long ago, a completely new technical direction appeared - Mechatronics and Robotics, which is a combination of the main dogmas of three sciences at once: computer science, electronics and mechanics. Specialists involved in its study are trying to understand how automation can help develop several sciences at once, while maintaining their own significance and independence.
According to UNESCO, this specialty is one of the most popular in the world, and without it, any technological progress is impossible. All university graduates in this specialty have the right to work as engineers, programmers, engage in the development of artificial intelligence, as well as conduct research activities.
University branches
Not everyone has the opportunity to move to Vladivostok in order to study at FEFU, branches in this case are the most suitable options. In total, there are nine departments of the university, all of them are located in the Far Eastern Federal District, which makes it easier for potential students from the outback.
Branches in Ussuriysk, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and Nakhodka are especially popular. Some students are much easier to get to these cities than to Vladivostok, where the main buildings of the university. Branches in Arsenyev, Artyom, Bolshoi Kamen, Dalnerechensk, Dalnegorsk and Spassk-Dalniy are also completely filled with new students by the beginning of the school year.
Faculties and specialties of the university
FEFU, whose faculties and specialties are significantly different from other universities, has developed its own concept of naming them. The faculty here is called the school, and already within them there are specialties that are successfully mastered by students. Each branch also bears the proud name of the school, while not many specialties are offered inside one compared to the main division of the university.
The most popular faculties include law school, school of art, culture and sports, school of economics and management, as well as a school of regional and international studies. This is where future applicants are in a hurry to get to most often, believing that it is these skills that will be most useful to them in the future.
Extracurricular Activities
In addition to their main responsibilities, FEFU students actively participate in the extracurricular life of their faculties and the university as a whole. Pupils of the educational institution have repeatedly become winners of KVN competitions, as well as regional winners of the student spring contest, which are held at universities annually.
Among other things, the university also has extra-curricular organizations, in particular, a trade union committee, which helps students solve problems with scholarships, dormitories and other individual issues. Anyone can become a member of the trade union committee, for this it’s enough to simply go to the organization with a student ID.
Warfare
FEFU (Vladivostok) has its own military training center, which is preparing future personnel reserves for the army. All students in this center automatically receive deferment from the army for the period of study, and after its completion - the rank of “lieutenant” and the specialty “engineer”.
Training lasts according to the standard - five years, after which the graduate of the center receives a diploma and has the right to continue training, and can also go to serve in the army in the received rank. Many graduates of the center today serve in the army as engineers, receiving additional prizes annually for good work.
Student Reviews
Yesterday's graduates of the university respond very warmly about their studies, especially for those who studied the specialty “Mechatronics and Robotics”, because it was she who helped them to realize themselves in life, get a good job and even find friends abroad. Very often, former students recall their teachers as people who responsibly approach the learning process.
If a student decided to enter FEFU, the faculties and specialties of the university are all accessible to him, you just need to contact the admissions office for more detailed information. If the applicant has nowhere to stay for the period of passing the entrance exams, this issue is also solved, however, this problem should be said in advance so as not to waste either your time or money.
