Text A. My Institute

 

I’m an economics student at the Shakhty Institute (Branch) of South Russia State Technical University. The institute is situated in the centre of the city. It occupies a big, beautiful five storeyed building of grey stone. There is a plaque at the entrance in memory of its founders. On weekdays you can see a lot of students in the square in front of the institute.

The institute was founded in 1958. It was established for training engineers for the mining industry of the country. At present the polytechnic institute is one of the most important higher schools in the city. Engineers for different branches of industry, economists, lawyers and other specialists are trained at the educational establishment. The high standard of teaching is provided by the skilled teaching staff. The total enrollment is about 2,500 students. The institute is headed by the director.

There are five faculties in the institute. They are the Technology Faculty, the Faculty of Machinery and Equipment Service, the Faculty of Humanities, Informatics and Management, the Faculty of Extra-mural and Distance Education and the Centre of Futher Tranining and Qualification Improvement. The head of each faculty is the dean. Each faculty has a group of related departments.

The Technology Faculty incorporates the departments of mathematics and information systems, mining, mineral dressing, geology and surveying, construction, technical drawing. The Faculty of Machinery and Equipment Service consists of the departments of mining machines, electrical engineering, physics, automobile engineering and chemistry. The Faculty of Humanities, Informatics and Management comprises the departments of economics and law, management, social sciences, foreign languages, and physical training.

The Faculty of Extra-mural and Distance Education is involved with part-time students. Some students attend classes twice a week, others use the Internet in their studies and come to the institute twice a year. Part-time students combine studies with work.

The Centre of Futher Tranining and Qualification Improvement organizes refresher courses and additional courses for graduates of higher schools.

The Department of Economics and Law was established in 1993. Students specialize in management, jurisprudence, banking and finance. My speciality is Management of Personnel. Economics students study general sciences, humanities and specialized subjects. They take mathematics, physics, chemistry, technical drawing, computing. Students also study social sciences and foreign languages. Qualified lecturers deliver lectures on economics, accounting, advertising, marketing, statistics, logistics and management.

At the end of each term students take credit tests and examinations. The examination periods are in January and June. Those who do well in exams get grants. Students have professional training in July. They work in offices, banks and mines. The students are on vacation in August.

The term of full-time tuition is five years. After completing the course of training and passing the exams they are qualified as economists, managers and lawyers.

The academic year consists of two terms. The first one starts in September and finishes in December; the second one begins in February and ends in May.

The institute has a lot of lecture-halls, computer rooms, well-equipped laboratories, gymnasiums and a sports ground. There is a library and a reading room run by professional librarians. The institute has fax machines, computers, scanners and printers. Meetings, conferences and concerts are held in the assembly hall.
