Dear Friends,

The Graduate School of Journalism and Mass Communications, St. Petersburg State University is one of the major centers in Russia for training qualified specialists in the field of journalism and mass communications.

The growing importance of information and communication for the society is a current trend in the development of modern society. Therefore, it is our students - journalists and public relations specialists - who are going to formulate socio-political policy in the future.

The key to their high level of professionalism is a combination of respect for the traditions of the oldest Russian university and their readiness to innovate, what allows us to give our students both thorough education in the humanities and the understanding of the newest communications technology.

Extensive research work of the Graduate School of Journalism and Mass Communications addresses the most crucial and poorly studied problems of mass communications such as the image of the state in the global information space, the media of the modern metropolis, the features of media discourse and many others. Educational and research process is naturally comprised of highly professional faculties, advanced technical facilities and close work with the professional community.

We are looking forward to seeing you at our School.
