The University

Having finished secondary school I entered the Povolzsky State University of Telecommunications and Informatics. Now I am a first year student.

Our University was founded in 1956 as one faculty institution. It was the faculty of Radio Communications and Radio Broadcasting with a number of students 208. In 1961 the faculty of telephone and telegraph communication was set up, which later was reconstructed in the faculty of Automatic and Multi-channel communication.

Up till 1991 the Academy had the name of Kuibushev Telecommunication Institute and then it was renamed as the Povolzsky Institute of Informatics and Radio engineering. Since 1997 it has got the name of Povolzskaya State Academy of Telecommunications and Informatics.

Now there are the following faculties at University: Radio engineering and Telecommunications faculty, the faculty of economics, Telecommunications and Informatics, the faculty of basic education and extramural one.

The academy has more than 20 chairs, computer center, library and rest camp. Besides there are several subsidiaries of the University chairs in research institutions and enterprises.

Our University is famous for its staff of professors. Such outstanding scientists as Honoured Scientist of Russia, Prof., Dr. So. Klovsry (in the field of signal transmission theory) and Prof., Ph.D. Sheredko (in the field of antennas and electromagnetic ecology) work in our University.

The graduates of the University become bachelors and masters of telecommunications as well as engineers of telecommunication in various fields.

I study at …………………..faculty. My specialty is ……………………………………. Being just beginners we study general education subjects necessary for future engineers such as mathematics, physics, engineering drawing. Besides, we study humanitarian subjects which will broaden our outlook.

The Academic year in our University runs from September the 1^st to the end of June. The tests at the end of each term are obligatory. In January we take exams in 4 or 5 subjects.

The course for engineers lasts for 5 years. In senior grades we shall study the subjects on our specialty. In the 5^th year we are to submit a diploma project.
