Universities of the FSB of the Russian Federation and admission to them. How to enter the FSB, tips and tricks

"After the 9th grade, I began to think about entering. A friend of an eleventh grader told me that he was entering the FSB Academy. Our language lyceum is one of the strongest in Moscow, we often receive orders from the faculty of foreign languages \u200b\u200bof this university, so I don’t was very surprised. "

Mikhail, applicant of the FSB Academy

I must admit that my friend was in excellent physical shape - he ran the 100-meter distance best, pulled himself up the most, was engaged in powerlifting. I remember how he played with muscles in the schoolyard during physical education - all the guys looked enviously at him, pretending not to notice, and the most beautiful girls giggled merrily, crowding around him in a bunch. But the guy didn't react to them. He was always calm and calm. “This is how a real FSB officer should be,” I thought, and decided to prepare to also enter foreign language.

Firstly, I took up physical training: for a year and a half I went to the rocking chair, went in for jogging, skiing. Secondly, I tried to get closer to him so that he could tell me more about the Academy, but that was not the case. He didn't say anything new. He just said once: “In the ASFB it is best to choose a wife. This one will keep her mouth shut and go with you to the ends of the earth. " The desire to look at such girls became an additional incentive for me to enter. The main motive was simple: the fate of a FSB officer is the choice of real men who are capable of much for the sake of their country. This means my destiny.

The epic of admission began in the eleventh grade. Now, even with his authoritative silence, my acquaintance could not help me - he entered, I lost sight of him on social networks. They say that the students of the Academy are generally forbidden to "sit" in them. I went once to the Academy, signed up for courses. The procedure was incredibly difficult. Two weeks later, an FSB officer contacted me, held a so-called conversation - an acquaintance. The very first question: "Do you have any relatives serving in the FSB or convicted." Neither the first nor the second appeared. I acted without cronyism, lived in an ordinary honest family. After that, I received confirmation that I was enrolled in courses at the Academy.

Classes began. My level of German was at a fairly high level, so there were no problems. In the Russian language and social studies - they were. The level of the teachers was so high that I spent several days preparing for each lesson. The USE received little attention here. We were strictly forbidden to talk about how they taught and what they asked. I understood the main thing - you need to pass a medical examination, pass internal exams in the necessary subjects and keep quiet.

But first it was necessary to get a coupon for a medical examination. Parents with applicants stand for hours to receive the coveted voucher for a medical examination at their place of residence. Everything is very strict with the medical commission - the slightest deviation and you are out of the game. Everyone is really watching here - in my presence they turned up a guy whose visual acuity was 1.2% lower than the required level. Guys with unkempt hair that cover their ears are immediately shown the door. However, I passed this stage successfully.

The next test is a psychological test. For 4 hours, applicants sit in a special room and answer seemingly idiotic questions. For example: "How do you feel about death?", "What do you do at night when you don't feel like sleeping?" We were asked to solve some strange problems. You are shown a picture of an apple tree. You can easily count how many apples there are. And next to the tree is a girl with a basket. They ask the question: "How many apples does Masha have?" You need to choose from several intricate options. At the last stage, my head started spinning: the officer showed me 50 figures for 10 seconds, then mixed them and asked me to put them in the original order. The third test is a polygraph. I already understood that the FSB's strong point is simple questions with difficult connotations, so I was mentally prepared. But when I found myself alone in a dark room with a serious man in uniform, I was involuntarily taken aback. The questions confused me, my heart sank into my heels. Then I was told that the admission was over for me.

It was a shame that I did not get to the physical education and specialized subjects - I prepared a lot. But, apparently, I'm not so restrained and calm as to become a real FSB officer.

“Based on my experience, I can say: people enter the FSB either according to family tradition or from crystal clear romance. By the way, later such“ romantics ”of our profession create family traditions. Let's make a reservation right away: the investigative and counterintelligence faculties, for the most part, places are signed among “their own.” There is a small opportunity to enter the Faculty of Foreign Languages \u200b\u200band the ICSI *. I repeat: small. If the applicant is afraid of any difficulties, then you should not go into the authorities. Everything is clear here - you have decided, then you are acting I will give the figures: out of 150 applicants, 20 people reach internal exams. "

Nikolay, graduate of the Faculty of Foreign Languages \u200b\u200bof the FSB Academy, former FSB officer

Mikhail has the very necessary qualities for our profession - he managed to find the right people, he has the willpower to train physically, he meets the medical parameters. In general, the medical board is not an easy test. Everyone here is on an equal footing, despite the fact that someone has a grandfather, a general. By the way, during the entire training, health workers check your health every six months. When I was studying at the Academy, a guy died on our daily run - his heart stopped and could not bear the stress. It turned out that he was a relative of some prominent official in the authorities. There was a huge scandal; from that moment on, the selection criteria became even more stringent.

I hope that if Misha passed the polygraph successfully, he would pass the general physical training exam *. I think he had no illusions about physical training. The standards in the AFSB are not for weaklings - for the test, you need to pull up 11 times without panting, run a hundred meters in a maximum of 13, 30 seconds, and overcome three kilometers in 12 minutes. There is only one advice here: if your hand reaches for a beer or a joystick in the evening, go run to the park or pull iron in a rocking chair. But it did not come to this stage. Misha was cut off on a polygraph. The situation is quite understandable, because personnel officers have already begun to form lists of potential freshmen. Maybe the documents submitted by Mikhail did not include the necessary recommendations from the FSB officers. Apparently, this was one of his main mistakes. Or maybe the guy really was an excellent candidate for admission to the FSB, but did not know how to answer questions correctly. On the polygraph, you are like a transparent sheet, your inner convictions become visible to the personnel officer as in purgatory. Therefore, it is important to be a patriot, to value the rank of an officer, to express it honestly and truthfully, without pathos. No kidding, this is important.

In addition, Misha was going to take the German language, he graduated from a language gymnasium. German, of course, students learn a little less often than English. But still, those who speak more rare languages, such as French, Spanish, Chinese or Hindi, have chances to do it without pull.

A very correct step is to enroll in courses at the Academy. This is a good preparatory school, but not always sufficient. For example, knowing German at a native speaker level, I worked hard with a tutor in foreign, Russian and social studies for two years. I wanted to do it for sure, threw all my strength into it. As a result, he entered the top twenty enrolled.

From the very first year, my illusions about studying there began to dissipate. The freshman immediately feels that he is in the system. You know that your ten years are already scheduled. The first five of them, you strain all your strength, you learn. The second five you give your homeland a debt for a free and one of the best education in the world. It is not simple. You are either weak or you can handle it.

I am really proud to have the chance to study here. The level of language, mathematical, physical and legal training is unlikely to be compared even with MGIMO and Moscow State University. Legendary personalities are taught at the Academy, which I, unfortunately, cannot tell. Some of them were awarded the Order of the Hero of the Soviet Union and Hero of Russia. Many subjects are taught in special classrooms, from which nothing can be taken out - no notes, no pens. Everything that is taught there is classified as secret. The Academy has a very strong legal background. True, you need to be ready for it - in lectures, students usually write 30-40 pages.

Mikhail's friend was right - the girls at our faculty are special students. Intelligent, discreet, with excellent physical fitness. Many find their soulmates here. For example, I got married as soon as I received my diploma. It is known that the scholarship at the Academy is huge compared to civilian universities - about 15 thousand rubles a month. But please don't compare us to a citizen. At the Academy, from 7 am to evening you are in the service, hard work. This is intense emotional pressure on a daily basis. In my opinion, our scholarship is even small.

Important: it is undesirable to show the status of an ASFB student on social networks. And to spread about it to friends - too. After receiving your diploma, you spend 5 years in the service of the Fatherland. From Moscow they are often sent to serve in Rostov, Volgograd. There is also a service in hot spots. If we get lucky. It turns out that you can spend 10 years side by side with your fellow students. It happened to me too. During this time, I found loyal colleagues, loyal friends.

In civilian life, they do not quite understand the concept of "devoted heart". With my friends, I have experienced misfortune, poverty, attended all their weddings. They helped me out many times. If any of them have difficulties, I am ready to fly to their duty station the next day. Now the fate of my friends has developed differently. Some continue to serve, some have moved to Alpha, some, like me, have taken up legal civil service. There were no problems with employment - they were hired with an ASFB diploma even without an interview for a good position. Why didn't I continue my service? Disappointed with the system. Understand that 90% of the bodies are incredibly worthy, patriotic, gifted people. They are the color of the country. But there are 10% of corrupt officials. Probably so everywhere, but I could not bear it.

5 facts about the Federal Security Service Academy:

* ICSI - Institute of Cryptography, Communications and Informatics at the FSB Academy. The best information security specialists in Russia are trained here.
* GPP - physical education exam (general physical fitness).

Work in the Federal Security Service has been exciting young minds for a long time. But what to do if you don't even roughly know how to enter there, what needs to be trained, and what exams to pass to the FSB?

Do I need to train in advance?

Undoubtedly yes. In addition to personal and intellectual qualities, the selection committee looks at the physical fitness of the future student. It is best to start preparation in the 10th grade. For example, with morning exercises and evening exercises. If you have the opportunity and time, you can go to the athletics section.
There are standards that an applicant must pass:

Run a hundred meters in 14.8 seconds;
Run 3 kilometers in 13 minutes and 3 seconds;
Pull up seven times.

All tests are handed over at a special test site and are carried out according to the system "Pass / fail"

If you are wondering how to enter the FSB after grade 11, then in addition to grades on the Unified State Exam, you will need to be tested at the academy itself.

The goal of becoming a student at the academy is very difficult, but no less honorable. Every year ten of the same guys apply for one place. It is very honorable to work in the Federal Security Service, and this type of activity is well paid by the state. And besides this, you can count on benefits, vouchers to sanatoriums, and various incentives after the end of the activity. For example, a tangible increase in the basic pension.

What is the best to take and what faculties are there

There are two most popular branches of education:

Investigative;
Counterintelligence.

But unfortunately, these faculties are scattered with places for "Svoi" from which we conclude - it is very difficult to get there. But difficult does not mean impossible, there are no impossible goals, there are internal barriers.

Foreign language faculties / cryptography, computer science. It is easier to get to these two branches of education, but you also need to make enough efforts.

Anyone who is interested in this service needs to know - FSB what exams and with what attempt to perform.

The most difficult thing in these structures is the medical board. Whether your father is even a colonel or a general, it will do nothing. Doctors with special trepidation and severity will examine everyone for violations. Only the best get into the Federal Service.

In addition to checking people, you also need a car conclusion. The hardest test is the polygraph. There, as at the last judgment, the whole truth will be pulled out of you. It is important to remember here that if your parents had a criminal record or addiction to alcohol / drugs, you will not be hired by the FSA. With proper patriotism and aspiration, even a polygraph will be an easy test.

And now let's come to the question - what subjects should the FSB take?

For admission to the Faculty of Foreign Languages:

Russian language;
Foreign language (both in writing and orally);

On counterintelligence for a profile with foreign languages:

Social Studies;
Russian;
Foreign language (in writing).

For counterintelligence operatives:

Russian;
Social Studies.

For the counterintelligence faculty, but with a focus on information technology:

Social Studies;
Russian;
Maths.

For cryptographic:

Maths;
Physics.

As you can see, exams roughly correlate with professions and you can guess by the logic that the FSB should follow what subjects you need. Only active employees of the federal service can study in absentia, therefore, after grade 11, full-time education is available.
And they take to the AFSB strictly after the completion of the full course of study. If the candidate decides to unlearn first in an institution with a secondary vocational education, and then go to the academy, he will be refused admission.

It is not difficult to enroll in the desired course and specialty if you decide for yourself in advance, and all your life strives for this work. To be devoted to the homeland and to any business, because serving in the internal or external defense bodies is a huge responsibility. In addition to all the advantages, heaps of nondisclosure subscriptions are imposed on the employee even during training at the FSB. It is considered bad form if you tell where you study.

And after successfully graduating from the academy, you will be given a job for life, and a military rank. Such institutions train only the best first-class specialists, not only in Russia, but also in the world. Even in civilian life with a crust about the end of the FSB, you will be hired for a high-paying position.

Before applying and starting to prepare for admission to an educational institution, you must decide for yourself exactly that you are ready to connect your life with this structure.

Unlike civilian universities, they have a narrow prof. direction and after graduation it will be difficult to work in another field.

Admission to a civilian university is a choice of the direction of a profession, and admission to a university of the FSB of Russia is at once a choice of a profession and, one might say, a place of work.

Preparation for admission

This is not to say that there are no difficulties with admission. However, if there is preparation and desire, you can enter.

It is better to start preparing for admission at the beginning of the final grade (grade 11). The first step is to contact the FSB department of Russia at the place of residence with a statement of intention to enter an FSB educational institution, fill out a questionnaire and provide copies of personal documents (birth certificate, passport, military ID and diploma).

Based on the data and documents provided by the candidate, a check is carried out. All data is carefully checked.

An obstacle to admission to the state. secrecy and income will be: relatives living for a long time abroad; relatives who have been prosecuted; also if the candidate has used drugs.

In addition to the check, a conversation is held with an employee of the personnel department of the FSB department, during which it is found out what motivated the candidate to go to the FSB of the Russian Federation. If everything is in order with the interview and verification, the candidate receives a referral for a medical examination (VVK), after which he must pass the standards for physical. preparation (running 100 meters, running 3 km, pulling up), which are evaluated according to the system "pass" and "fail".

Upon passing the check, at the beginning of March you need to write an application to the selected university. In it, the candidate must indicate: the faculty, the direction of training and specialty, the list of USE subjects and additional entrance exams, and also sign that he is familiar with the admission rules.

Universities of the FSB of Russia

On the territory of the Russian Federation there are 14 educational institutions subordinate to the FSB of Russia.

These are the FSB Institutes in St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Yekaterinburg and Novosibirsk. FSB Academy in Moscow. Moscow, Golitsynsky, Kaliningrad, Kurgan and Kharabovsky border institutes of the FSB. Academy and Border Academy of the FSB in Moscow. Coast Guard Institute in Anapa. Border Academy in Moscow.

Each university has its own list of faculties, some of them take both boys and girls (faculty of foreign languages). Each faculty has its own subjects for which you need to take entrance exams.

You can apply for full-time training. Without military service from 16 to 22 years and after military service up to 24 years. But the correspondence form of training is available only to current security personnel.

Admission

Upon the call of the University (in early June), candidates arrive for the entrance exams. First, they undergo a medical examination for the second time, after which they are allowed to take entrance exams. Exam common to all in physical. preparation and one of the core subjects. According to the results of exams and EGE, the total score is displayed, admission is carried out on a competitive basis.

If a candidate does not pass the competition for higher education, he can go to study in secondary educational programs (training lasts 2.5-3 years, after graduation he is awarded the rank of warrant officer and, if desired, you can complete your studies in absentia at any FSB university). If you have not passed the competition, you can try again in a year.

After graduation, he is awarded the rank of lieutenant.

Work experience and length of service are counted from the first days of training. The first two courses are considered a year in the army, after the first contract is signed, and a salary is issued, approximately 16,000 rubles.

After graduating from the institute, there is a distribution in units for service. Excellent students are given the right to choose their place of service, so there is an incentive to be so. Servicemen are provided with a social package, free honey. service, decent wages.

Reviews about Universities FSB

According to the feedback from the applicants, it is difficult to enroll in the FSB universities without cronyism, but you can. According to the standards, the guys passed 20 pull-ups, 3 km cross-country time trial and other physical standards. They also talk about testing on a lie detector, and naturally about the absence of a criminal record in several generations of relatives.

The students enter into a contract under which they must work in the system for a number of years, or return the money that the state will spend on your education. Already during your studies, you have a risk of becoming restricted to travel abroad, and spending your subsequent vacations in Crimea as much as possible.

Outfits, living in barracks (at least up to the 3rd year), life according to the Charter, enhanced physical training - everything here will remind you in many ways of ordinary military universities.

If you are a girl, then you are dear to the faculty of military translators. It should be understood that after graduation there will be a mandatory distribution (and you may have to go far from home and from the center of the country).

Also, you will be a restricted worker, both during the service and for 5 years after it. Therefore, there will be no practice with native speakers, you will translate audio recordings and written documents. Going to the faculty of translators, a person may dream of something else.

You will not work abroad. The fact is that the FSB is counterintelligence. And it is designed to work to suppress intelligence and other operations of foreign special services on the territory of its country. And employees of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) go to work abroad.

That is, all these moments must be carefully thought out in advance.

Also, the students note the high quality of education. They rejoice at the upcoming benefits (travel, meals, extended vacation) when applying for a job after graduation. They talk about a stable salary (the last figure I saw on the forums is 36 thousand.

Moreover, if you live somewhere in the Russian outback, then this is quite a decent payment. But if we proceed from the level of civil salaries and prices in Moscow and St. Petersburg, then this is a very low allowance. So it all depends on your circumstances, on what drives you.

I have a question - can my grandson study at the correspondence department of the Moscow Border Institute or not? If so, what is needed for this? Please let me know.

Good day. Can I enter the Novosibirsk FSB institution as a citizen of Kazakhstan of Russian nationality and studying at the Sports School of the Olympic Reserve?

FSB institutions are one of the most prestigious educational institutions that many high school students dream of enrolling in. Indeed, in addition to a quality education, you will receive a highly paid and qualified job. But to get into such a university, you must meet a number of criteria. Let's analyze the main ones.

Which faculty should I go to?

FSB institutions today offer more directions and specialties for the choice of applicants. Deciding which faculty is right for you is not easy right away.

It should be noted that such education is often followed by followers of family traditions. Or those who dream of the romance of this profession and want to guard the interests of their state. In the future, such romantics tend to create their own family traditions.

Traditionally, the highest passing score is for the investigative and counterintelligence faculties. It is most difficult to enter them without thorough preliminary preparation.

The situation is somewhat simpler at the Faculty of Foreign Languages \u200b\u200band at the Institute of Cryptography, Communications and Informatics, working at the FSB Academy. This is where the aces of information security come from. Get ready right away: in order to have a real chance to enter the institute of the FSB of Russia, it is advisable to know some rare language. For example, Hindi, Portuguese or Chinese. Fortunately, language courses are very popular today. In this case, your chances against competitors are significantly increased.

Admission rules

If you decide to enter any border institute of the FSB, then be prepared for difficulties. The selection of applicants is very careful. Only every seventh of those wishing to enter comes to the decisive examination tests.

The first test is a medical board. You need to have excellent health, because studying at such a university implies physical fitness. Training and physical tests await students almost daily. This question is approached very strictly. This is the case when connections won't help. After all, if then one of the students is not ready for serious physical activity, they will ask the doctors.

The third test is a physical fitness test. The standards are serious: you need to pull up 11 times without shortness of breath, run 100 meters in no more than 13.5 seconds, and cover a distance of 3 kilometers in a maximum of 12 minutes.

Passing all these challenges is not easy. Therefore, it is better to take good advice - enroll in preliminary courses, which are now being organized by the FSB institutions. On them, the future applicant will understand what the requirements will be and whether he is ready for the exams.

Entrance exams

The final tests of knowledge that you have to go through in order to enter the FSB institutions are almost identical. The first step is to provide a list of documents. This is an order of a security body, a birth certificate, a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, a military ID or a document replacing it, a policy of compulsory medical insurance, a secondary education certificate and a university graduate diploma (if any). You must have a sports uniform with you.

The Golitsyn Institute of the FSB of Russia accepts the results of the USE passed at school, as well as the results of additional exams that you will pass directly at the institute, as an entrance exam. They will differ depending on which faculty you choose.

The USE results will be taken into account for applicants entering the specialty "border activity". The results of exams in the Russian language, social studies and history are suitable for those who wish to study in the direction of legal support of national security. For those entering the Department of Psychology of Service Activity, excellent marks in mathematics and Russian are required.

Additionally, applicants to study for border guards will have to pass history and physical training, and those who go to study as psychologists - biology and physical training, those who want to get a legal education are especially important are the results of the exam in social studies.

The difference between additional exams from school and USE is that these exams are considered tests of increased complexity. Here they will check not only the level of your knowledge, but also how you are able to cope with non-standard situations, quickly find solutions to sudden problems.

About entrance examinations for individual faculties

At the investigative faculty - social studies and Russian. At the counterintelligence faculty, a written examination in a foreign language is added to them.

At the Faculty of Foreign Languages, in addition to the written examination in Russian, you will have to complete the tasks in writing and orally in the language you are studying.

Training

Already from the first year, a student who entered the Moscow Institute of the FSB feels that he is in the system. Almost all steps and actions will be scheduled and strictly regulated. Moreover, you clearly know what you will be doing for the next ten years. First, get five years of education, and then repay the debt for it. After all, you were trained on a budgetary basis. 5 years is the minimum period that you must work in the state security authorities after graduation.

Students will have to master a high level of training in almost all subjects: foreign languages, mathematics, jurisprudence - and at the same time show excellent physical indicators. Among the teachers there are many professors, as well as holders of the titles of Hero of Russia and even Hero of the Soviet Union.

Much of what they teach is classified as classified. Therefore, it is often impossible to take anything out of the classrooms in which classes are held. Down to the handle.

Special attention is paid to legal training. Lectures are rich and informative. Sometimes you have to write down 30-40 pages of abstracts in one academic hour.

Scholarship

A scholarship is provided if the applicant comes to study at the Border Institute of the FSB of Russia. Enrollment is over, it's time to devote yourself entirely to study. Therefore, financial support will not hurt.

Compared to other universities, scholarships are much higher here. They amount to about 15 thousand rubles. However, one should not forget that students in these universities do not just study, but are on duty practically around the clock, which is difficult and exhausting.

Features of studying at the FSB Institute

Perhaps the main feature of studying in this at a university is that it is not accepted to spread about this, especially on social networks.

Another distinctive feature is that learning is so unifying, and the system itself is so closed that many find their soul mates here.

After graduation, you need to serve in the authorities for at least five years. Moreover, from the capital they are often sent to work in the regions. For example, to Volgograd or Krasnodar. If an employee manages to prove himself, then he can be returned to Moscow or promoted to his place of service.

The main thing is that they often find real friends here, who subsequently support them throughout their lives, provide the necessary assistance.

Employment issues

After five years of compulsory service in the authorities have passed, the future fate of all develops in different ways. Some remain in the Federal Security Service in federal or regional departments. Others move to the Alpha Special Forces, where FSB graduates are always welcomed with open arms.

Others go to the civil service and specialize in matters related to jurisprudence. After all, training in this area is one of the strongest in the country. It is quite possible to become a successful lawyer or prosecutor, and in the long term expect to get a judge's seat.

Practically no one experiences problems with finding a job, since people with a diploma from the FSB institute are taken almost everywhere, often even without an interview.
