Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU) is one of Russia’s leading centers of education and science, known throughout the region for its unique campus and world-class infrastructure. In our new facility, we strive to combine the traditions of the classical university with innovation across disciplines. The University is also a leading center for international cooperation in the Pacific region.

Far Eastern Federal University was founded on the principle of integrating two models: the modern research university, participating in an international exchange of the most advanced research and expertise, and the entrepreneurial university, providing the training for competitively developing sectors of the national economy.
















The new campus of Far Eastern Federal University is considered one of the best not only in Russia, but among new campuses around the world. Located on Russkiy Island in the city of Vladivostok, the campus is surrounded by woodlands and faces a pristine stretch of the Pacific coast. As a residential learning community, its facilities are comfortable, light, welcoming and safe. The campus frequently hosts large-scale, high-level transnational events, from conferences and exhibitions to meetings, seminars, workshops and competitions. More than 100 public student associations, unions and clubs are open there. On campus, students will never lack for exciting social activities, they can easily find friends, and discover their own talents.

FEFU has a rapidly growing international faculty, and has recently doubled the number of incoming foreign students from the USA, Japan, China, Korea, India, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, Germany and other countries. The university is also expanding its foreign professoriate, and has already hosted leading professors from the USA, Australia, Egypt, Norway, Mexico, Peru and other countries.

Far Eastern Federal University is the leading center for science and innovation serving students in the Far East. The facilities and staff enable students and teachers at FEFU to conduct cutting-edge research.




Students can select a scientific specialty from a diversity of departments and course offerings.

The School of Engineering is home to a robotics team that has won success throughout the Primorye region.  The young scientists from this team were recognized as the best in developing underwater robotics at the MATE International ROV Competition in 2010. During the latest round of competitions in the United States, FEFU students were third among teams from thirty of the top technical universities in the world.

In the School of Natural Sciences’ thin-film technology lab, the FEFU junior scientist team is working on a new lithography method that will enable the manufacture of electronic elements as small as 10-15 nanometers. This technological leap will make smaller, better-quality computer chips possible.

The School of Biomedicine hosts a laboratory for the production of new medicines, while scientists in the School of Engineering have invented a device that allows miners to keep contact with the surface up to a depth of 2.5 kilometers underground.

FEFU architects are working on solar housing projects, designed to use renewable energy sources. The School of Humanities operates an archaeological research center called " Bohai ".

The campus has 368 laboratories equipped with modern equipment. All the necessities for scientific discovery are available at Far Eastern Federal University.

The University has created more than ten international master's degree programs that cater to both Russian and foreign students. All courses in these programs are conducted entirely in English.




Students who have not studied Russian language before can enter the beginner level courses at Center of the Russian Language and Culture twice a year, either on October 1 or March 1.

In addition to basic language courses included in the curriculum, students can choose special courses based on their level of Russian language proficiency.

At the stage of admission to the Center of the Russian Language and Culture, students who have previously studied Russian language will be examined and divided by ability into appropriate groups.

Department of Extracurricular Activities for Foreign Students organizes various cultural and educational activities, as well as joint activities with Russian students. As a result, both our Russian and visiting students have opportunities to socialize in a diverse community. 

We welcome you to Far Eastern Federal University, where the location and modern campus combine with the rich Russian cultural traditions. A FEFU education is not only prestigious and focused on contemporary issues, but engaging.  Everyone who comes to us to learn and work at FEFU finds new knowledge and new friends. This is the place for talented young people.
