Final-year Bachelor's students · Two tracks · UlSTU
The “I Study in Ulyanovsk” Student Olympiad
Ulyanovsk State Technical University (UlSTU)
An international olympiad run by Ulyanovsk State Technical University (УлГТУ) on its own platform, aimed at final-year Bachelor's students. The same platform also hosts a separate olympiad for school students — this page is about the student one only, so mind the difference.
🟢 The school track has opened for 2026/27 — the student track hasn't
For school students (school leavers): registration 1 September 2026 – 31 March 2027, the qualifier 20 September 2026 – 31 March 2027, and the final 1 April – 15 May 2027. The site says the olympiad launches from 2026 in a new format. As for the student track (which this page is about), the last published season is 2025/26 and it has ended — sign up with us and we'll alert you the moment it updates.

🔴 Careful — this is the most important line on the page: the official site's home page prominently displays the dates 1 September 2026 – 31 March 2027. Those are the school olympiad's dates (final-year school students ← Bachelor's), not the student olympiad this page is about. ↳ The student track's published season is 2025/26 and its final stage ran up to 3 April 2026. If you land on the site and see “1 September”, don't assume your door is open — make sure you're in the «Для студентов» section. 🎓 Who can take part? Students in their final year of a Bachelor's programme — exactly as written in the students section. ↳Open the official «Для студентов» section and check for yourself before any step.

The opportunity
What is this olympiad?
«Международная студенческая олимпиада «Я учусь в Ульяновске»» — an international olympiad run by Ulyanovsk State Technical University (УлГТУ) on its own learning platform, held remotely through an account on that same site.
The platform says more than 6,000 people have taken part in the platform's olympiads since 2019 — that's the two olympiads combined (school + student), not the student one alone.
🔴 And here's the difference you need to know: the platform hosts two separate olympiads in two independent sections — «Для школьников» for school students, leading to admission benefits for a Bachelor's, and «Для студентов» for Bachelor's students, which is what this page is about. The two timetables are completely different and the dates are not the same.
The potential prize
What do you gain?
What the official platform does state: winners receive benefits (бонусы) when applying to a Bachelor's or Master's programme at UlSTU
Winners and prize-winners receive diplomas, and participants receive electronic certificates
Participation is free (на безвозмездной основе) per the official text
🎯 And per the Russian government's official portal (studyinrussia.ru): prize-winners of university-run olympiads may receive the government quota — and there is an official list of the approved ones on the Ministry of Science's site. The route is open, and admission is competitive and depends on places.
🎯 Mind the difference: winning opens the door to applying — it doesn't secure you the place. The olympiad's own page mentions “benefits (бонусы) when applying” at UlSTU, and the Russian government's official portal says prize-winners of university olympiads may receive the government quota. Admission is competitive and depends on available places — check the full conditions on the official site.
How to apply
How do you apply?
The steps exactly as described on the official platform (everything happens through the site):
Create an account on study-in-ulyanovsk.ulstu.ru
Log into your personal account and pick the «Для студентов» section — not the school one
Choose the olympiad and enrol yourself in it (запись на олимпиаду)
Send the required documents to the organising committee — the platform says sending documents is mandatory
Once your documents are reviewed, access to the qualifying stage opens for you
📌 The platform runs on Moodle, and the detailed olympiad page requires a login. So to see the full details (exact dates and documents) you have to create an account first. That also means anything beyond what's written here is something we could not verify from outside — check it yourself once you've registered.

🔴 That is all the publicly published dates for the student track — it isn't a summary of a longer timetable. The full details appear after you register on the platform. And we have not taken the home page's timetable (1 September 2026 – 31 March 2027) because it belongs to the school olympiad, not this one. Next season's dates for the student track have not been announced yet.
Tracks
The two available tracks

The engineering-technical track (инженерно-технический)The social-economic track (социально-экономический)
Eligibility
Who can take part?
🎓 The official text in the students section says: final-year students studying on higher education programmes — Bachelor's programmes (студенты, обучающиеся на последнем курсе по программам бакалавриата).
🌍 The olympiad is described as “international” and the platform is aimed at both Russian and foreign nationals — participation is remote, through an account on the site.
⚠️ If you're still in your second or third year: the published condition speaks specifically about the final year. Check the olympiad's official regulation before you register.
Common questions
Tap any question to open the answer ▾
💬I saw “1 September 2026 – 31 March 2027” on the site — is that my date?▾
No, not if you're a university student. Those dates belong to the school olympiad («Олимпиада по общеобразовательным предметам»), which leads to a Bachelor's, and they're displayed on the home page so they catch the eye. The student track has its own separate section, «Для студентов», and its published season is 2025/26, which has ended. Always make sure you're in the right section before you build anything on a date.
💬What are next season's dates for the student track?▾
Not announced yet as of the time of writing (27 July 2026). The only season published in the students section is 2025/26, whose final stage ran up to 3 April 2026. Sign up with us and we'll alert you the moment we spot the update.
💬I'm in my third year of a Bachelor's — can I take part?▾
The published condition speaks specifically about students in their final year of a Bachelor's. If you're in an earlier year, check the olympiad's official regulation or ask the organising committee before registering — we can't confirm an exception that isn't written in the source.
💬Does winning mean a free Master's at UlSTU?▾
Winning opens the door to applying, and admission is competitive. Two separate things:
1) The olympiad's page mentions “benefits (бонусы) when applying” to UlSTU programmes.
2) And the Russian government's official portal (studyinrussia.ru) says, in as many words, that “prize-winners of intellectual competitions organised by universities may receive the quota”, and that there is an official list of approved olympiads on the Ministry of Science's site (russia-edu.minobrnauki.gov.ru).
So the route exists and is open — but the place is decided by the competition and the available spots, not automatically. Check that this olympiad is on the official list before you rely on it.
💬Does participation cost money?▾
The official text on the platform says participation is free (на безвозмездной основе). Any payment request from a third party has nothing to do with the organisers — check the official site.
Everything here is taken from study-in-ulyanovsk.ulstu.ru at the time of writing (27 July 2026). The public information about the student track is limited because the detailed olympiad page requires a login — and we've written only what we verified. The olympiad is competitive and not guaranteed, and dates change — the «Для студентов» section on the official site is always the final reference.

The platform hosts two olympiads with different dates. Open the «Для студентов» section specifically, and if you sign up with us we'll send you an alert the moment we spot an update to the student track.
