Admiral Makarov State University of Maritime and Inland Shipping in St. Petersburg trains specialists for the civil and merchant fleet. It traces its roots to 1809, when Tsar Alexander I created an institution for water and land communications, and in its present form it dates from a merger approved by an order of the Russian Ministry of Transport on 11 September 2012. That order joined the Admiral Makarov State Maritime Academy with the Saint Petersburg State University of Water Communications.
The maritime strand carries the name of Admiral Stepan Makarov, which the sea-going school received in 1949. The Ministry’s order of 2012 therefore joined a naval tradition from the Maritime Academy with the river and inland-waterway side of the other partner, and the combined name reflects both. The university is a federal state-funded institution.
The main campus is on Dvinskaya Street in St. Petersburg. The university also runs branches outside the city: those named on its own pages and in the international directory of higher education include Voronezh, Kotlas, Murmansk, Petrozavodsk and Veliky Ustyug. Foreign applicants should consult the university’s English pages for admission rules, scholarship information and preparatory options.
