Unlike civilian universities, they have a narrow prof. direction and after graduation it will be difficult to work in another field.
Admission to a civilian university is a choice of a profession, and admission to a university of the FSB of Russia is immediately a choice of a profession and, one might say, a place of work.
Preparation for admission
This is not to say that there are no difficulties with admission. However, if you have the preparation and desire, you can apply.
It is better to start preparing for admission at the beginning of the graduating class (grade 11). The first step is to contact the Russian FSB department at your place of residence with a statement of intention to enroll in an FSB educational institution, fill out a form and provide copies of personal documents (birth certificate, passport, military ID and diploma).
Based on the data and documents provided by the candidate, a check is carried out. All data is carefully checked.
An obstacle to access to the state. secrets and receipt will be: loved ones living abroad for a long time; relatives who were prosecuted; also if the candidate used drugs.
In addition to the check, a conversation is held with an employee of the personnel department of the FSB department, during which it is found out what motivated the candidate to join the FSB of the Russian Federation. If everything is in order with the interview and test, the candidate receives a referral for a medical examination (MEC), after which he is required to pass the physical examination standards. training (100-meter run, 3-kilometer run, pull-ups), which are assessed according to the “pass” and “fail” system.
After passing the test, you need to write an application to the selected university in early March. In it, the candidate must indicate: the faculty, the direction of training and specialty, the list of Unified State Examination subjects and additional entrance exams, and also sign that he is familiar with the admission rules.
Universities of the FSB of Russia
On the territory of the Russian Federation there are 14 educational institutions subordinate to the FSB of Russia.
These are the FSB Institutes in St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Yekaterinburg and Novosibirsk. FSB Academy in Moscow. Moscow, Golitsyn, Kaliningrad, Kurgan and Kharabovsky border institutes of the FSB. Academy and Border Academy of the FSB in Moscow. Coast Guard Institute in Anapa. Border Academy in Moscow.
Each university has its own list of faculties, some of which accept both boys and girls (faculty of foreign languages). Each faculty has its own subjects for which you need to take entrance exams.
You can enroll in full-time study. Without military service from 16 to 22 years and after military service up to 24 years. But correspondence training is available only to current security service employees.
Admission
When called by the University (in early June), candidates arrive to take entrance exams. First, they undergo a medical examination for the second time, after which they are allowed to take entrance exams. Physics exam common to all. preparation and one of the specialized subjects. Based on the results of exams and the EGE, the overall score is determined; admission is carried out on a competitive basis.
If a candidate does not pass the competition for higher education, he can go to study in secondary educational programs (the training lasts 2.5-3 years, after graduation he is awarded the rank of warrant officer and, if desired, he can complete his studies in absentia at any FSB University). If you don't pass the competition, you can try again in a year.
After graduation, the rank of lieutenant is awarded.
Work experience and length of service are counted from the first days of training. The first two courses count as a year in the army, after which the first contract is signed and a salary is issued, approximately 16,000 rubles.
After graduating from the institute, they are assigned to units for service. Excellent students are given the right to choose their place of service, so there is an incentive to be one. Military personnel are provided with a social package and free medical care. service, decent salary.
Reviews about FSB Universities
According to reviews from applicants, it is difficult to enter FSB universities without cronyism, but it is possible. According to the standards, the guys passed 20 pull-ups, a 3 km timed cross-country race and other physical standards. They are also talking about lie detector testing, and naturally about the absence of a criminal record in several generations of relatives.
Students enter into a contract under which they must work in the system for a number of years, or return the money that the state will spend on your education. Already during your studies, you have the risk of becoming restricted from traveling abroad, and spending your subsequent vacations in Crimea at most.
Dresses, living in barracks (at least until the 3rd year), life according to the Regulations, enhanced physical training - everything here will remind you in many ways of ordinary military universities.
If you are a girl, then you should attend the Faculty of Military Translators. At the same time, you need to understand that after graduating from an educational institution there will be a mandatory assignment (and you may have to move far from home and from the center of the country).
You will also be a permanent worker, both during your service and for 5 years after it. Therefore, there will be no practice with native speakers; you will be translating audio recordings and written documents. Going to the faculty of translators, a person may dream of something else.
You will not work abroad. The fact is that the FSB is counterintelligence. And it is designed to work to suppress intelligence and other operations of foreign intelligence services on the territory of its country. And employees of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) go abroad to work.
That is, all these points need to be carefully thought through in advance.
Students also note the high quality of education. They are happy about the upcoming benefits (travel, meals, extended vacation) when applying for a job after graduating from university. They talk about a stable salary (the last figure I saw on the forums was 36 thousand.
Moreover, if you live somewhere in the Russian outback, then this is quite decent pay. But if we proceed from the level of civilian salaries and prices in Moscow and St. Petersburg, then this is a very low allowance. So it all depends on your circumstances, what motivates you.

My grandson graduated from the Stavropol branch of the Golitsyn Border Guard Institute of the FSB in 2016 and since that time has been serving at one of the border posts of the Dagestan Border Directorate. Today, the issue of continuing his studies at the Border Troops University is acute. I have a question: can my grandson study at the correspondence department of the Moscow Border Institute or not? And if it can, what is needed for this? Please let me know.
Retired Lieutenant Colonel - Alexander Dmitrievich Grafkov.

Can I enter a FSB university at a faculty related to my professional responsibilities? And is there correspondence/distance learning? If possible, a list of such universities.
Good evening. A question of this nature. Can a person study if his father is a former police officer (company commander) and was dismissed from the internal affairs bodies for very negative reasons. Those. under articles: abuse of official powers and extortion from subordinates. Convicted and the court handed down a suspended sentence of one and a half years!?
Good day. Can I enroll in the Novosibirsk FSB institution being a citizen of Kazakhstan of Russian nationality and studying at the Olympic Reserve Sports School?
Currently, it is considered very prestigious to train as an FSB officer in order to have a good salary. How to enter the FSB after 9th grade and is it possible to pass the exams without any connections? Are there any specific health requirements? Many high school students dream of studying at an institution like the FSB school. How to apply after 9th grade to the chosen faculty? First, you should think about whether a person needs a profession, whether he can cope with job responsibilities, where he can work if he receives a diploma. It is very important. Graduates of the FSB Academy are in great demand, but it is necessary to understand that officer service is sometimes associated with frequent moves, changes in place of residence, and work in difficult conditions and in border zones. Not all people agree to endure some inconveniences, especially for the fair sex.
What is so attractive about the FSB Academy? It turns out that not only children of high-ranking officers can enroll in this educational institution after 9th grade. But it will be difficult to do this. The high level of salaries of the structure’s employees allows us to consider the academy a very prestigious university. If a high school student has finally decided that he should connect his life with the federal security service, first he must pass a medical examination. The most stringent requirements are imposed on applicants. A student at an educational institution and a future officer should not have serious chronic diseases. This rule is observed very strictly. Even if you have connections in the admissions committee, it is simply impossible to enter the academy through dishonest means. As a rule, a medical examination takes place in a departmental clinic. When applying to an educational institution, you must fill out a form. All information provided in it is verified.
A serious obstacle to entering the academy may be a not-so-clean biography of a close relative or a criminal record of one of the family members. If the high school student himself was brought to criminal or administrative liability, you can forget about studying at the FSB school. If the medical examination is successfully completed and there are no other obstacles to further admission, the applicant is allowed to take the exams. The list of subjects that are required is specified by the admissions committee. As a rule, applicants have to take Russian language and social studies. These exams are conducted in written form. The chosen faculty is also of great importance. For example, for future counterintelligence officers, it is planned to pass not only Russian language and social studies, but also foreign languages.
For some faculties where specialists proficient in information technology are taught, it is necessary to pass exams in the Russian language, social studies and mathematics. Some FSB schools also require passing an exam in physics. Applications are accepted approximately from mid-summer. Training begins, as in all educational institutions, on September 1. To increase your chances of successful admission, you need to prepare in advance for submitting documents and passing entrance tests. Already from the first quarter of 8th grade, you can begin to find out the conditions for admission to the academy and clarify the list of exams. If possible, you should take preparatory courses and work with a tutor. Some academies offer special courses to prepare for admission.
Experts advise weighing your chances before applying. There is not too much competition for admission to some areas of study. Sometimes it makes sense to apply to a less prestigious faculty. Moreover, the possibility of transferring to another specialty still exists. Some high school students are interested in whether it is even worth enrolling in the FSB Academy after 9th grade. Maybe it would be better to try your luck after graduating from secondary school? But after 11th grade, as practice shows, it can be even more difficult to enroll. It is also necessary to warn applicants that in some cases they are required to undergo a lie detector or polygraph test. This procedure will be repeated throughout the entire training period at certain intervals. FSB officers also regularly undergo polygraph tests in order to quickly identify facts of corruption.
Girls and boys, wanting to have a military rank, enter military schools after 9th grade.
These guys have a much greater advantage than their fellow citizens from 11th grade, because it is much easier to enter a higher military institution if you have a diploma from a technical school or college.
This article will talk about military schools after 9th grade and more.
Main educational institutions of Russia
Military education is divided into two types:
- Basic. It is divided into: cadet, Suvorov and Nakhimov schools.
- Higher education includes varieties: institutes, academies, higher command schools.
Future warriors can delve into one of their chosen specialties in the following areas of the military:
- land;
- airborne;
- marine;
- railway;
- rocket;
- Cossacks;
- military-technical;
- military musical troops;
- troops of military justice.
The main cities where the main educational centers are concentrated are: St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod and Moscow. Often, parents send their children to a military school because of the prevailing discipline within the barracks. When choosing a school, parents are guided by several criteria:
- Location of the institution (preferably closer to home).
- Age of the future cadet (after 9th grade, not all military institutions can be entered).
- Requirements for applicants (in order to “pull up” grades to the required level in advance).
- Deadline for submitting documents (acceptance of documents begins earlier than in secondary schools).
List of the best military educational institutions of the Russian Federation
Cadets
Cadets begin their military career at an early age (4-5 grade), after classes at a military school, the guys go home.
List of the best cadet schools in the Russian Federation (only for orphans and children of military personnel):
- Anti-aircraft missile (Orenburg);
- Krasnodar;
- Stavropol;
- Sevastopol;
- Vladivostok;
- Tyumenskoe.
Suvorovites
Suvorovites differ from cadets in that these young guys, who graduated from 8th or 9th grade, live in barracks conditions, far from home.
The admission criteria are similar for both cadets and Suvorov and Nakhimov students. List of the most famous Suvorov schools:
- Yekaterinburg;
- St. Petersburg;
- Moscow;
- Tverskoe;
- Ulyanovskoe;
- Kazanskoe.

It is incredibly prestigious to study at such an institution.
After graduation, mid-level specialists enter universities without exams.
The best educational institution known throughout Russia is the Nakhimov School in St. Petersburg.
Requirements for applicants
The requirements for applicants who apply to become a cadet are not simple; it is necessary:
- have Russian citizenship;
- suitable age;
- good level of training;
- positive test results (psychological, physiological).
Graduates of 9th grade cannot start studying at their own request, since parental consent is mandatory. If all stages of selection are completed, the cadet lives in the barracks. In case of non-compliance with the norms of behavior, he may be expelled.
Admission of girls to military universities is a rather complicated operation; only five universities out of 26 carry out enrollment. The rules for admitting girls are similar to the rules for admitting boys, the only difference is the level of difficulty when passing the standards.
After graduating from college, a girl can study medicine, control a ballistic missile system, an automated command and control system, ground-based space infrastructure, as well as work. The education of boys and girls differs in that girls learn to work in the communications field associated with the personnel department and military personnel.
Ministry of Emergency Situations
Graduates who dreamed of being firefighters or rescuers, there are also educational institutions according to their morals, for the Ministry of Emergency Situations this is:
- fire and rescue college in Moscow;
- fire rescue college in St. Petersburg;
- cadet corps at the Civil Defense Academy.
In order to join the ranks of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, it is necessary to pass standards (shuttle running, 1 km running, standing long jump, pull-ups) and exams in the necessary disciplines. Girls can submit documents on the same basis as boys.
Ministry of Internal Affairs
The requirements for students who want to obtain the title of Ministry of Internal Affairs are quite high and are no different from the requirements of all military schools.
After graduation, graduates have a complete secondary education, and can already work as operatives, detectives, criminologists, and local police officers. The most famous educational centers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are:
- Police College in Moscow;
- Moscow secondary special police school of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia;
- training center of the Moscow Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the training of employees of the Eastern Military District.
Note: In order to get a job in the Federal Security Service (FSB) in the future, you must complete 11 classes, pass exams and undergo a medical examination. It is very difficult to enter any specialty in this area.
Flight
To enter the flight school, you need to complete 11 classes and pass exams in the Russian language, mathematics and physics.
The decisive factor is health indicators, psychological tests, as well as good marks on the exam. The most famous flight schools in the Russian Federation are located in Moscow, Ulyanovsk, St. Petersburg and Omsk.
The requirements for admission to space school are no different from flight school. The best space educational institutions in Russia are located in St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Omsk.
There are a large number of military educational institutions operating in Russia. Every year the state is replenished with new specialists in various fields (Ministry of Emergency Situations, Ministry of Internal Affairs, FSB, as well as institutions that graduate cadets, Suvorov and Nakhimov students).
Every ninth grader has a chance to become a military man, but he must seriously think about choosing his destiny, because defending the state is a difficult task, and not everyone can cope with it.
