TEXT 2B

Training specialists at the Belgorod shukhov State Technological University

1. The Belgorod Shukhov State Technological University is one of the leading higher educational institutions in Russia training highly skilled experts in different fields of the industry of building materials.

2. If you finished a secondary school and took and successfully passed the entrance written examinations, you are accepted to the University and become an undergraduate (a student). Now you are on the way to get a profession, to become a highly qualified specialist in one of the branches of the industry of building materials chosen by you.

3. A period of study at the University lasts 5 years. According to the University curriculum the 5-year period is divided into: 1) two years of general study when the student is taught different subjects of general nature, for example, Economics, Strength of Materials, Theoretical Mechanics, History of Russia, Foreign Languages, Descriptive Geometry and some others; and 2) three years of professional training when the student learns special subjects, quite necessary for the given profession.

4. Each year students take oral end-of-term tests and examinations. If they pass them successfully, they are granted monthly scholarships.

5. At the end of the fourth year University undergraduates are sent for a few months to factories, plants, research institutes, or some other enterprises in order to get some practical training in the field of their future profession. Working and staying there fifth-year students start their work at diploma papers.

6. At last the time of vocational professional practice is over and the students come back to their University. Here they consult their professors or tutors on some vague items and get ready to defend their diploma papers in the presence of an examiners’ body.

7. Soon the defense is over and a former student becomes an engineer with a University diploma – a civil engineer, a chemical engineer, a mechanical engineer, an architect, an economist, a computer engineer and so on.

8. After some rest a new specialist being fresh from the University is given a job at some place of Russia. The state’s national economy needs such people and always gladly receives them.
