Text C “Land Cadastre faculty”

I study at the Tyumen State Agricultural Academy. It was founded in 1959 as an Agricultural Institute. It got the title of the Academy on 3^rd April, 1995.

I am a second-year student of the Land Cadastre faculty of the Agro-Technology Institute. Our faculty was founded in 2001. I am a full-time student. Our faculty trains Land engineers.

The Agro-Technology Institute was established in 2000. Our Institute has a highly qualified teaching staff. At present, there are five faculties at the Agro-Technology Institute.

I find my future speciality to be very useful, actual and necessary not only for our region but the state too. So it requires deep knowledge in all branches of agriculture.

While studying the students of our faculty have to master many interesting and important subjects. They are chemistry, biology, physics, Philosophy, English and different special subjects, as land management, land use, soil science, ecology, vegetable growing, plant growing, Land Act and others. We can learn skills, which fit us for a better career in future. An educated person contributes more to the society and education gives a person the prospect for professional advance.

I think my future speciality is important, especially nowadays, after the State Duma approved Land Code.

The tasks of Land engineers are to study and estimate not only arable lands, soil structure, fertility, but all the lakes, rivers, mountains, forests and all the units, located on its territory too.

A very important task is to register various land documents, to elaborate and control land Acts and regulations, measures and projects of environmental protection, to make the land registers of definite territories.

All land resources are the subject of interest and concern of land cadastre specialists.

While studying the students of our faculty have practical work at the experimental training farm and at different enterprises of our region.

On graduating from the Academy, I’ll get a degree of Land engineer. I think I like my future speciality and find it to be very useful and important.
