• Academic Regulations for bachelor, specialist, master, and secondary vocational programmes https://spbu.ru/openuniversity/documents/pravila-obucheniya-po-osnovnym-obrazovatelnym-programmam-bakalavriata

  The regulations apply to bachelor, specialist, master, and secondary vocational students and organize study according to curricula.

  They confirm conditional post-enrollment profile allocation when admission is to a field as a whole, and regulate elective course choice in the variable curriculum component.

• Order No. 470/1 appendix: Academic Regulations https://spbu.ru/sites/default/files/2026-01/20260116_rules_study.pdf

  Current PDF version of the rules with provisions on profile allocation by student application, GPA-based competition, and elective selection through the student account.

  Shows that changing a programme or profile outside the planned allocation process is handled as a transfer rather than a free pathway switch.

• Rules and grounds for student transfer and reinstatement https://spbu.ru/sites/default/files/2025-12/20251217_rules_study_transfers_restorations.pdf

  Clarifies that transfer to another educational programme and profile changes are competitive procedures subject to available places.

  Used as a limiting source: transfer with curriculum differences does not raise the programme-choice coordinate.

• SPbU Institute of Chemistry elective courses https://chem.spbu.ru/learning/studyoffice/elektivnye-distsipliny

  The official institute page explains annual selection of elective courses from the variable curriculum component through the student account.

  Published elective lists by year and programme confirm programme-level choice blocks, but not a university-wide free elective pool.

• SPbU Institute of Earth Sciences educational programmes https://earth.spbu.ru/study-programs-1

  The page publishes bachelor curriculum plans by programme and admission year, including geology, cartography, hydrometeorology, soil science, and ecology.

  Used as a cross-check across several curricula: course choice is organized within specific programmes rather than as university-level distribution requirements.

• Higher Education Monitoring 2025: SPbU https://monitoring.miccedu.ru/iam/2025/_vpo/inst.php?id=1771

  The 2025 higher education monitoring profile reports 25,331 bachelor, specialist, and master students across all study modes.

  The bachelor and specialist fields are calculated from the published shares: bachelor students are 66.61% and master students are 22.61%. The profile does not give a separate specialist share, so the specialist value is a derived remainder.
