The largest student organization at the university is the Student Council, established to foster active civic engagement among students and to support the development of their independence, self-organization skills, and personal growth. Each year, the Student Council organizes over 100 leisure, educational, social, and sports events and projects. Among these are initiatives such as the "Coordinator" project to help first-year students adapt to university life; the "Freshman Quest"; training sessions aimed at developing self-management skills including "Activation School" and " Activation School II"; University Gala; the interfaculty music competition "In Unison"; and the city street culture festival "Urban Fest."

Significant attention is given to supporting talented youth and fostering the development of students' creative activities. Currently, 16 creative teams and studios operate successfully, including the University Choir, the vocal ensemble "Finmuse," the Solo Vocal Studio, the Folk Song Ensemble, the Student Theater "FUNT," the Hosting Studio, the Choreography Studio "Frappé," the Folk Dance Ensemble, the Contemporary Dance Group "Liberté," the Dance Collective "Lib Crew," the Ballroom Dance Studio, the Partner Dance Club "Step Forward," the Ballet Studio, the Vocal and Instrumental Ensemble "Atmosphere," the Drummers' Ensemble, and the Inspiration Studio. Over the years, these groups have performed numerous performances and have earned many awards. In 2021 alone, they received laureate titles at three international festivals, four national competitions, two city-level events, and two university contests.

The University has a well-developed club movement, with 11 diverse student organizations actively operating. These include the Zebra Chess Club, the Expedition Club, the Literary Club, the Intellectual Games Club, the Case Study Club, the Debating Club, the Practice-Oriented "Self-Governance Beyond Borders" Club, the Young Finance Professionals Club, the Search Team "Memory of the 13th Division of People's Militia," the Nordic Walking Club, and the Business English Club. The activities of these clubs are multifaceted, allowing students to develop various skills and participate in nationwide and international projects. For example, in 2021, the Chess Club received a grant of 1 million rubles to implement the All-Russian chess project "Your Move," where participants from 25 regions of Russia competed for the title of best chess player.

The university places great importance on volunteer activities through its Volunteer Center. Its main role is organizing "event volunteering," which means helping to plan and run major events at local, regional, national, and international levels-such as conferences, forums, festivals, and concerts. In 2021, the center celebrated its 5th anniversary, and over the years, more than 5,000 people have been involved in volunteer work.

Since our university welcomes students from 90 countries around the world, we have developed and implemented a comprehensive program to support their socio-cultural and psychological adaptation. This program is based on our own research and involves collaboration with leading international experts. It includes four main stages and provides ongoing support to international students throughout their studies at the university.

Every year, we organize a variety of activities and projects as part of this initiative, such as the "UniFriend" peer mentorship program; off-campus leadership and conflict resolution training sessions called "Leader-Camp"; an open lecture series on Russian history and culture titled "The Russian Way," complemented by sightseeing excursions; practical Russian language courses to help overcome language barriers; meetings with successful alumni.

In addition, we provide migration and visa support to ensure that international students stay compliant with Russian immigration laws and feel secure during their studies.
