Kemerovo State University
Universities have long been sources of scientific knowledge and culture. Kemerovo State University is one of them. It was founded in 1974. Twelve faculties of our University train more than twenty thousand students of day and correspondence departments. It trains highly qualified specialists in physics, mathematics, history, the Russian language and literature, biology, chemistry, foreign languages, economics, law, sports, psychology and sociology both for research work and teaching.
The students are admitted to the University on the basis of their results in National Unified Examinations. Usually there are several applicants for every place at the University. The exams are often stiff and competitive.
The academic year is divided into 2 terms. The students have end-of-term tests and examinations. Marks are entered into students' record-books.
We have a lecture system at the University. The students take down the notes of lectures. The lectures are delivered by the highly qualified teachers. They usually combine teaching with research work. The students also have practical studies and seminars, carry out laboratory tests and experiments. On the ground floor of the main building there are several lecture rooms. We have a number of laboratories specially designed and equipped for practical work and conducting experiments. Students are also trained in handling computers. On the campus there are sports grounds and playing fields. The main building of the University contains a library with a large reading-room, a large hall for meetings, debates and concerts, a dining hall with a coffee bar and other rooms for recreational purposes.
Students on contract basis have to pay for their training. But for the most of students tuition is free of charge. The students do not pay for using books, for laboratory work, teaching aid. The majority of students in day department receive stipends. There are special higher stipends for honour students. Non-resident students are usually given accommodation in halls of residence.
Studies are divided into years. Normally it takes 4-6 years to graduate from the University. When the course of studies is completed and final examinations are successfully passed the graduates are awarded a diploma. The best students who show great abilities for scientific work are left at the University after graduation to continue their studies as postgraduates.
