Where

St. Petersburg is the second largest city in Russia and the third largest in Europe, with a population of 5 million people. It was founded by Tsar Peter the Great over 300 hundred years ago and served as Russia’s capital until 1917. The city is known as the Cultural Capital of Russia and boasts UNESCO-designated historical monuments, world-class museums, theaters, and a vibrant religious life.

St. Petersburg Christian University (SPbCU) became one of the first Evangelical higher educational institutions to be established in Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union. We offer Bachelor and Master’s Degree programs in Theology, Christian Education, and Pastoral Ministry, along with an International Program in English. Our campus is located near the central section of the city and features modern facilities where students can comfortably live and study.
