IKBFU is a leading university of the Kaliningrad region and one of 10 federal universities of the Russian Federation.
Conveniently located in the heart of Europe, IKBFU attracts students and researchers from around the world. Today citizens from 40 countries of the world – from Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa – study at different levels and conduct research at the University.
IKBFU carefully keeps the academic traditions of its predecessor – the «Albertina» University of Königsberg and introduces the newest technologies of Russian classical education.
City University
The University is already embedded in the city, with its 36 buildings scattered around 11 locations in the heart of Kaliningrad. While it is imperative to maintain openness to the community and improve engagement with the region, it is also important to develop one location as a space for the future convention of generations. Therefore, by 2025 the central part of the campus will use the available growth resources in the adjacent area to transform into the new Plato’s Academy.
