On June 20, 2026, the Financial University officially kicked off its admissions campaign. This year, the university's first applicant was Anfisa Lysenko. She chose the "World Economy, Global Finance, and International Business" program at the Faculty of International Economic Relations as her top priority.
"The Financial University has always been a symbol of global thinking and a strategic approach for me, and enrolling here is the fulfillment of a long-held dream. Within these walls, you don't just gain knowledge; you develop an analytical mindset and find your true calling. I chose the Faculty of International Economic Relations, specifically favoring a program that is partially taught in English. This provides an extra competitive edge, opens up the broadest horizons, and is perfectly suited for realizing my ambitions," Anfisa shared.
In keeping with tradition, the first applicant was welcomed by Svetlana Bryukhovetskaya, Executive Secretary of the Admissions Office and Vice Rector for Marketing and Working with Applicants at the Financial University. Together, they officially launched the admissions campaign by cutting a symbolic red ribbon at the entrance to the university building at Leningradsky Prospekt, 51/1.
Svetlana Bryukhovetskaya noted that a key feature of this year's admissions campaign is a change in how documents can be submitted. Applicants can still visit the Admissions Office in person or send their documents via postal services. However, remote applications can now be submitted through only one channel: the "Online University Admission" super-service on the Gosuslugi portal. This significantly streamlines the application process, making it even more convenient for all prospective students.
The Financial University consistently maintains its high standing in national rankings. For the second consecutive year, it has been ranked among the top 10 universities in the country by RAEX, cementing its status as a flagship of Russian higher education. Furthermore, it ranks in the top three in nine national graduate employment rankings, securing first place in two of them. To train specialists who are deeply immersed in industry specifics and employer needs, the university has established foundational departments in partnership with market-leading companies, government agencies, and major banks.
The Financial University continues its established trend of offering double degree programs and joint degree programs in partnership with leading universities in their respective fields. The university is also actively advancing student project work, its digital learning ecosystem, and the personalization of the educational process. A mandatory IT module is integrated into all academic programs, and students have the opportunity to earn additional professional qualifications and micro-credentials while still pursuing their higher education degrees.
Until the application deadline, a faculty exhibition will be hosted at the university. Here, prospective students and their parents can explore the full range of study programs and ask faculty representatives any questions they may have.
All essential information regarding the specifics of the 2026 admissions campaign is available on the Financial University website.
