The International Winter and Summer Schools, hosted annually by Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU) and the Graduate School of Industrial Economics (GSIE), attract hundreds of students from around the globe. These programs offer a unique opportunity to gain practical skills and knowledge while enjoying an unforgettable winter or summer holiday in St. Petersburg.
The programs combine lectures and workshops led by professors and industry experts, case studies, and collaborative work in international teams. Participants also enjoy cultural events, boat trips, city quests around St. Petersburg, and much more!
Programs last from one to three weeks, depending on the chosen track, with all classes and cultural activities conducted in English. Upon completion, students earn international ECTS credits, which can be transferred to their home universities. Discounts are available for those enrolling in multiple programs, alumni of any summer or winter school from the past five years, as well as students of SPbPU and other Russian universities.
The Graduate School of Industrial Economics (GSIE), part of the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade, invites everyone to join its Winter and Summer Schools on **«Quantitative Finance: Financial Markets.»** First launched in 2019, these schools have welcomed dozens of students from countries worldwide each year.
