Higher Education.
The history of higher education in Russia goes back to l755 when the first
University was founded in Moscow on the initiative of M.V. Lomonosov and in
accordance with his plan. Later, universities were opened in many other big cities
of the country.
Many people in our country can get education. There are academies and
universities in all cities and towns of our country. Higher education is partly free of
charge nowdays. To enter an academy or university people have to take entrance
examinations. They are rather difficult .Students have to listen to the lectures and to
take part in the seminars. If they miss them they can fail at the exams. At the end
of each term they have to take credit tests and exams. They submit term papers in
the end of each academic year. Most students attend full-time departments. They
study at the day time.
Others study in the evening they combine work and study. These are part time student.
We are external students. We get postal tuition (correspondent course).
