My Speciality

I am a first-year student at the Shakhty Branch of South Russia State Technical University.

I'm happy to study here, because this university is one of the best higher educational establishments in the south of Russia. It was founded in Novocherkassk in 1906. At that time it was called the Don Polytechnic Institute. Since then the university has trained a lot of qualified specialists for different branches of the Russian economy. The Shakhty Branch was established in 1958. Skilled lecturers and teachers work at the institute. It trains engineers, economists, managers and sociologists. I study in the Extra-Mural Faculty. I take a course of economics. Economics is the oldest of the social sciences studying economy: the production of wealth in a society and the consumption of money, the development of industry and trade. Economics formulates laws and principles of economic development. An economy is the system according to which the money, industry, and trade of a country or region are organized.

My specialization is Economy and Management at the Enterprise. At the institute we study many important specialized subjects: economics, accounting, advertising, marketing, statistics, logistics and management.

Full-time students get practical training in offices, banks and mines. Part-time students support their practical experience with theoretical knowledge and research. After completing the course of training young specialists are qualified as managers-economists and managers-lawyers.

Graduates of the institute can work in different plants, factories and companies. They fill positions in production, accounting, marketing and advertising departments.

The profession of an economist is very useful and important. Economists help to determine the economic strategy of a company or enterprise. They study the economic situation and predict future changes on the market and aid in taking business decisions. Economists forecast a situation that is good financially for an individual or a company to buy or sell goods or shares.

A manager is a person who is responsible for running a department of an organization, enterprise, shop or business. They put the business goals into practice and control the activities of the organization. They conduct negotiations, conclude contracts. Managers hire and fire employees.

Economists-lawyers are specialists in business law (торговое право) and labour law (трудовое право). They ensure legality of business activity.

In the future I hope to get a well-paid job with a prosperous company. I work hard and do my best to make a good economist.
