\n \n STATE UNIVERSITY, ST. PETERSBURG (SPSU) (7/9 Universitetskaya Embankment) is one of the largest educational, scientific and cultural centers of Russia. The university comes from the Academic University, which was later reorganised into the Normal School, the Normal Gymnasium, the Pedagogical Institute and the Major Pedagogical Institute. The latter was transformed in 1819 into St. Petersburg University, consisting of three faculties: law and philosophy; history and philology; mathematics and physics. The Pedagogical College (formerly the Second Rank Major Pedagogical Institute) and the Finishing School were all functioning at the university. In 1860, courses were designed to train secondary school teachers. In 1854-1917, there were four faculties at the university: the Faculty of History and Philology, the Faculty of Philosophy and Law, the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics, and the Faculty of Oriental Studies.
