Our university

There are many Universities and various institutes in our country. Thousands of young people of all nationalities study there. Most of the students get scholarships. Many of the students live in the hostels. All the students who graduate from universities can get employment in industry and agriculture. The graduates become engineers, doctors, teachers, etc. In order to become a good specialist the student must work very hard.

Our University is one of the oldest and largest higher schools in our city and even in the whole country. About 6,000 students study here. There are many faculties and a great number of chairs which help every student get ready for his future work. There are many laboratories where all the students make various experiments. Many teachers and professors deliver lectures and hold seminars on different subjects as: physics, mathematics, chemistry, strength of materials, foreign languages and many others.

The first-year students are not so busy as the second- and third-year students are. They do not work at the laboratories as much as the second- and the third-year students do. The latter work much more in the laboratories than the former. The students who do not study hard may fail at the examinations. The more the students work the better are the results. The studies at any higher school require much time and attention. All those who desire to become chemical engineers must visit the Institute of Technology in order to have a clear idea about their future work.

Education in great britain

There are different kinds of educational institutions in Great Britain: universities, colleges, university extra-mural departments, evening department at colleges, etc.

There are at present about forty universities in Great Britain; practically every big city of the country has a university. Its function is to give the highest type of education and training to its students to make them able to carry out scientific work. A University graduate is awarded the Degree of Bachelor of Arts, Science, Engineering, Medicine, etc.

University usually consists of some Colleges, which are a part of the University. They provide training and give degrees to their students. English Universities differ greatly from each other. They differ in date of foundation, history, tradition, general organization, internal government, methods of instruction, ways of student's life, etc.

Oxford and Cambridge are well-known not only because they are the oldest universities but because the standard of teaching there is very high. The cost of education at these Universities is so high that only the children of the richest classes can attend these universities.

At present Oxford and Cambridge have a tutorial system of education which brings a student into close and personal contact with his tutor. Each student has a tutor who helps the student to plan his work.

Besides universities in Great Britain there are at present about three hundred technical colleges providing part-time and full-time education. Technical colleges give special instruction in certain subjects. They give diplomas, not degrees to their students. The course for training specialists lasts three or four years, while at the universities it lasts as a rule more than four years.
