AT THE UNIVERSITY

This University was opened in Moscow in 1962. It is housed in new buildings in the South-West of Moscow.

The University was organized to help the new developing countries to train specialists needed for the development of their own industry. Young people from different countries who want to be trained in various branches of science are admitted to the University. It trains them for five years. Natives from more than seventy countries are admitted every year. Their fares to Moscow and back to their native countries after graduation are paid by the state. Students are paid stipend, have hostel accommodation. All of them are supplied with warm winter clothes and given textbooks. As all the lectures are delivered in Rus­sian, which the students are unable to understand, the first year may be spent at the Preparatory Faculty where the Russian language is taught as the main subject. There are students who master it in nine months sufficiently well to be able to understand a question when addressed in fluent Russian and be well understood themselves.

Special studies in mathematics, physics, chemistry and other subjects are arranged for students who are insufficiently pre­pared to study at a higher school.

The Engineering Faculty provides courses in mechanical engi­neering, power machine building, civil engineering, geology, and exploration and exploitation of mineral deposits.

What are the students required? Every student is required to work hard, he is not allowed to miss a single day of his study. Lectures and classes start at nine in the morning. As a rule, the students have three subjects a day. At three o'clock class­es end, but many students stay in the University building and spend there some hours more. Some visit the library, others go to study rooms and laboratories where they will always find a teacher to give them help.
