3 Our University

My name is Khakimova Regina. I am a second year student of Bashkir State Agrarian University. It is one of the oldest in the city. Its history goes back to 1930, when it was founded as Bashkir Agricultural Institute. At that time there were only 2 departments at the Institute: plant growing and livestock breeding and only 99 students and 13 teachers. In 1993 Bashkir Agricultural University got the status of Bashkir State Agrarian University. Now the overall number of students amounts to 11 thousand; our students study full-time and part-time. The teaching staff of the University consists of about 700 teachers, among them 110 professors and 350 candidates of sciences.

There are 9 departments at the University. The departments are: Economic, Mechanical, Biotechnologies and Veterinary Medicine, Energy, Land Management and Forestry, Information Technologies and Management, Food Technologies, Agricultural Technologies and Agribusiness and Extra-Mural department. I am at the Economic department. I study such subjects as Mathematics, Economic Theory, Accounting, Audit and a lot of others. After 4 years of studies I will get the degree of a Bachelor.

The University consists of 7 buildings. There are a lot of classrooms, laboratories and lecture halls at the University, also a computer centre and many computer classrooms. There is a good library and several reading halls where students can find many books and scientific journals on their speciality. Many students take up sport quite seriously. The University has several gyms, a swimming pool and a stadium.

Most students of our University are from different districts of our Republic. They live in 8 comfortable hostels of the University. Students live there for 4 years and for the time of studies hostels become their second home where they live, study and rest.

The course of studies at our University gives students a good opportunity of becoming well-trained specialists in different fields of agriculture. I think students can study, as well as live an interesting life during the years of education.
