NWAPA is the Alma Mater for the Chairman of the Federation Council Sergey Mironov, the Managing Director of President's Administration Vladimir Kozhin, the Chairman of the St. Petersburg Legislative Assembly Vadim Tyulpanov.
The main object of the educational process in the Academy is to reveal the creative, personal potential of the students, develop their skills in different fields of management, foster their ability for adaptation to constantly changing circumstances in their professional activity, as well as their social life.
Within the Bologna Process framework we have started a difficult transformation of our educational system: there are still more questions than answers. But we will do our best to continue and develop high quality training of public servants according to the new educational standards. Our future plans are: to intensify the interaction with public administration of all levels of governance, as well as Russian and foreign Universities, also training public servants. Informational analysis as well as research is also very important for us."
