PolitE distinguishes not only fundamental education, but also a trend towards practice-oriented training. In this aspect, the experience of the Higher School of Jurisprudence and Forensic Expertise is especially interesting, where students are actively involved in professional activities from the first year. The students interact with employees of law enforcement agencies, the prosecutor’s office, and the court.
Career orientation meetings with heads of law enforcement agencies are an established tradition. Today, officers of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of Russia for Saint Petersburg work with future lawyers at the Polytechnic.
2026 is the year of the 15th anniversary of the formation of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation. During this time, a considerable number of students from the Polytechnic University, studying in the fields of “Jurisprudence” and “Forensic Expertise,” underwent internships, worked as assistants to investigators, and remained in service within the agency.
Close interaction of science, education, and practice connects the Higher School of Jurisprudence and Forensic Expertise and the Main Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for St. Petersburg. The extensive experience of active employees and veterans of the service (now teachers with us) shapes modern approaches to educational activities, especially within the framework of applying special technical knowledge in work.
This is hard to call a lecture or a recruiting event — it is rather a free discussion in which we act as senior mentors, not explaining the basics of legal and investigative activities, but discussing the professional specifics of the service in the Investigative Committee.

Deputy head of the investigative department for the Kalininsky district Georgiy Titov spoke about his personal experience in investigating particularly serious crimes. In response to students’ questions about what an investigator should be like, he replied with the words of the head of the agency Alexander Bastrykin:He must be devoted to his cause and possess high moral fortitude. For people to trust the law enforcement agencies, it is necessary to treat every person carefully, especially those who have found themselves in trouble and have turned to us for help.

The criminal investigator of the investigative department for the Kalininsky district, Margarita Grishchenko, answered personal questions, spoke about the specific requirements of the official contract and the conditions for undergoing an internship under her guidance.
SK officers familiarized themselves with new achievements in the field of legal research and expertise carried out at the VSH YUISTE, including appointments by law enforcement agencies and courts. They noted that the engineering and technical competencies of the Institute contribute to the training of modern, in-demand specialists in the field of jurisprudence and law enforcement.
Involving representatives of state administration and security agencies in the educational process is an important direction of career guidance and ideological work. Serving the Fatherland is a constitutional duty of every citizen. Educating not only professionals but also patriots is our top-priority task. Graduates of the Faculty of Law apply technical competencies based on fundamental legal education and professional experience obtained at the university in law enforcement practice.This significantly increases the demand for public service and in the organizations of the real sector of the economy
