So, you are students of South-Russia State
Technical University. Our congratulations!
You passed your entrance examinations
successfully and entered one of the best
and biggest Universities of our country.
The academic year consists of two terms:
the autumn term and the spring term. In
January and June the students have their
examinations. Teaching is by lectures,
seminars and practical laboratory classes.
Lectures are aimed at giving the basic
framework of knowledge. Seminars give the
opportunity for group discussion of a topic
with a member of academic staff. Laboratory classes in all faculties provide
the opportunity to gain essential practical
skills and are specifically organised so that
students learn by their own practical
experiments.
The students study hard and have no free
time on week days. They study many
different subjects such as higher
mathematics, chemistry, physics, descriptive
geometry, strength of materials, informatics,
foreign languages, economics, history and
many others.
Highly-qualified lecturers and professors
help students in their studies. Well-
equipped laboratories and workshops are
at their disposal. Specialisation in senior
courses enables undergraduates to follow,
their own interests in a subject, for example
into pure research as a career or into
contemporary applications with the aim of a
career in industry.
The rapid expansion in information-
technology is reflected strongly in the
teaching and research programmes of the
University. Most students use computers as
an essential part of their courses.
There is a multitude of student activities at
the University: sports clubs, arts societies,
student societies etc. Numerous student
concerts, dance performances, exhibitions,
drama productions are held each year.
Undergraduates play various instruments,
take part in festivals, dramatic shows and
dancing parties.
A lot of students of our University take part
in social life of the University.
There are different sports clubs at our
University, such as track-and-field athletics,
gymnastics, basketball, volley-ball, football,
wrestling, boxing and others. Most of the
students go in for sport. They can do sports in sporting facilities - various gymnasiums,
sports grounds and a swimming pool.
SRSTU is recognised as one of the most
