1. About our Institute

Since its foundation in 1992 the St.-Petersburg State Institute of Psychology and Social Work was the only higher educational institution specialized in psychosocial work in Saint-Petersburg area. Starting from 2011 the Institute made an important transition towards adopting three cycles of educational qualification based on European standards: BA (4 years), MA (2 years) and Doctoral degree (3 years).

The Institute comprises two faculties (Faculty of Applied Psychology and Faculty of Social Work) with total of 11 departments, as well as the Board of Management (Management Department, Education Department, Administrative Department and Finance Department), 20 administrative offices, 2 research and education centers, 9 teaching and laboratory facilities and 1 specialized library.

Along with traditional educational qualifications our Institute offers individual trajectories which allow each student to select qualification (BA, MA and additional programme), appropriate form of study (full-time, distance learning and evening tuition), personal education plan and courses which meet student’s interests. Additionally our Institute has developed several types of life-long education programmes such as training sessions and professional development courses (which imply updating theoretical and practical knowledge of experts due to increasing requirements to the level of qualification). The language of tuition is Russian.

NOSU is interested in the following activities:

- modernization of curricula in humanities, technical and natural sciences, using the ECTS, the three cycle system and the recognition of degrees, due to the high demand of the qualified specialists in the field;

- joint programs in Tourism, International Business, Economics, Information Sciences, etc
