During the traditional annual meeting of the Academic Board, Alexander Fedorov, IKBFU Rector, reviewed the yearly performance and outlined the main future priorities of the University.
IKBFU has consistently maintained and improved its positions in both national and global university rankings. The University has successfully hosted major international conferences and forums, and was among the first in the country to implement new educational standards, designing basic higher education and specialised higher education programmes. IKBFU has expanded the range of joint educational programmes and continues to partner with major companies. Additionally, the scientific centres of the University have broadened their product portfolio.
Alexander Fedorov, IKBFU Rector: |
We have confirmed our position in the top tier of the Priority 2030 program and will remain at the forefront of the Territorial and Sectoral Leadership track. This is crucial for the development of the new campus and its digital environment, ensuring a high growth rate. |
2023 marked the implementation of new licenced educational programmes, such as Dentistry, Customs Affairs, Judicial and Prosecutorial Activity, and Psychiatry. The University also organised the first annual “Professor of the Year” contest and the School of the Young Educator as part of the Year of Teacher and Mentor. IKBFU continues to cater to the needs of students, organising welcome activities and providing employment opportunities.
The University has demonstrated significant progress in its youth policy initiatives, with a range of exciting events and festivals being hosted at both the local and federal levels. A large number of new student communities and student spaces have been established, co-management bodies are actively forming, and new media projects are being implemented.
In terms of academic performance, the University has achieved impressive results, ranking 13th out of 700 higher education institutions in Russia based on the index of efficiency of educational activities.
The University has also seen an increase in its student population, with a total of 12,765 students enrolled — 500 more than the previous year. Furthermore, there has been a growth in the number of international students, with 464 foreign nationals enrolled in 2023. This year, a representative office of the IKFU was established in Kyrgyzstan on the basis of the Kyrgyz State University named after Ishenaly Arabaev. Looking ahead to 2024, plans are underway to further expand the University's international presence in other countries, particularly in Asia, Southeast Asia, and Africa.
IKBFU is the main migration inflow factor into the strategically important Russian region. The University has maintained a high rate, almost 43%, of students enrolled from Russian regions. At the same time, a great deal of effort is made to attract applicants from the Kaliningrad region, with the University hosting online and offline Open Doors Days, career guidance events, and other courses.
Owing to the construction of a world-class new campus on Nevsky Street, the westernmost Russian federal university is ready to increase the number of students by another five thousand by 2030, a serious responsibility for IKBFU.
The new campus is currently at 12% completion. We are fully complying with our construction schedule. By the end of 2024 all buildings will be erected. Next year, 650 million rubles will be allocated towards the purchase of new equipment. |
The year 2024 marks the 300th anniversary of Immanuel Kant. As such, IKBFU and the Kaliningrad region have planned a grand celebration that will span the entire year of 2024. Many scientific, cultural and educational events are planned, such as the International Kant Congress, which will be held in April.
In conclusion Alexander Fedorov conveyed his sincere appreciation to the dedicated faculty members of the University for their unwavering efforts in contributing towards the growth and progress of the westernmost Russian federal higher education institution.
