The SFedU operates a point-ranking system for assessing students' knowledge during the ongoing control and interim assessment of students’ progress. Students can see their scores in their personal account. The ranking of students by points is taken into account when switching to a non-fee form of training.

During their studies, students take a practical training in the form of a research project, an internship at a partner company, and a pre-diploma training, aimed at preparing their Master thesis.

The state final attestation is a public defense of the Master thesis before the commission. The commission includes teachers and representatives of business structures and other universities.
