It is jurisdictionally under the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation and is a participant in the federal "Priority 2030" higher education development program and the national "Science and Universities" project.

The university's core technology stack centers on ЭИОС — its Electronic Information Educational System — integrated with the distedu.ru distance learning platform, electronic document management, and the ЭИОС functions aligned to federal FGOS ВО / FGOS SPO standards. Specialized infrastructure extends to the Center for Additive Technologies (3D printing / additive manufacturing), the V.N.

UdSU's business model blends government budget funding for state-funded places, contract tuition for fee-paying students across all program levels, commercial research and innovation services delivered via ICRPT, continuing professional education and pre-university training fees, and voluntary contributions through its endowment fund. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; tuition is structured as an annual subscription per program, with a free government-funded tier. Customer segments span domestic Russian students (primary), international students (including explicit summer-school outreach to South Korea), pre-university school students (Mendeleev Class, olympiad preparation), and employers / enterprises sourcing targeted graduates and applied R&D. Go-to-market operates through an admissions committee (Приёмная комиссия) in Izhevsk, official udsu.ru web properties, VKontakte social channels, a dedicated press service (pr.udsu.ru), student olympiads, and targeted education partnerships.
