CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY

Cambridge is one of the two main universities of England located at the Cam River. It was founded at the beginning of the 12^th century. The University consists of 24 different colleges including 4 for women. Each college is self-governing. The head of the University is the chancellor who is elected for life.

Each student has a tutor who practically guides him through the whole course of studies. The teachers are commonly called “dons” and “tutors”. Part of the teaching is by means of lectures organized by the University. Besides lectures teaching is carried out by tutorial system for which the Cambridge University is famous all over the world. This is a system of individual tuition organized by the colleges.

Each student has a tutor who practically guides him through the whole course of studies. The tutor plans the student’s work and once a week a student goes to his tutor to discuss his work with him. The training course lasts 4 years. The academic year is divided into 3 terms. The students study natural and technical sciences, law, history, languages, geography and many other subjects.

After three years of study a student may proceed to a Bachelor’s degree, and later to the degrees of Master and Doctor. Students are required to wear gowns at lectures, in the University library, in the street in the evening, for dinners in the colleges and for official visits. All the students must pay for their education, examinations, books, laboratories, university hostel, the use of libraries, etc. Very few students get grants. The cost of education depends on the college and specialty.

A number of great men, well-known scientists and writers studied at Cambridge. Among them are: Erasmus, the great Dutch scholar, Bacon, the philosopher, Milton and Byron, the poets, Cromwell, the soldier, Newton and Darwin, the scientists.

THE UNIVERSITY OF LONDON

 

The University of London was created to conduct the examination and to grant degrees upon the students from any institution situated anywhere in the British Empire.

Up until 1900 the University of London was only an examining and degree-awarding body, but in that year an Act of Parliament permitted to provide lecture rooms, museums, laboratories, work shops, etc. for both teaching and research. Today the University of London is a federation of colleges, each largely independent. There are four faculties of Theology, thirteen of Arts, thirty-one of Medicine, ten of Science, etc.

The University of London grants degrees to all who satisfy its examinations, with the exceptions of engineering and medical degrees (for which the study at an approved institution is required). The London external degree has been of great importance in the development of the university system.

Many of the new independent universities were at first university colleges (i.e. university institutions which could not award their own degrees) and for them the University of London became the degree-awarding body. The London external degree is very important to students in technical colleges and some teacher-training colleges, as well as for private students working on their own, away from educational centers.

The development of new qualifications (e.g. the new Diploma in Technology) and increasing enrollment in regular university courses have made the external degree less important.

6.3. Задания и методические указания по организации самостоятельной работы студента

Целью данных заданий является формирование у студентов неязыкового вуза навыков и умений работы с текстом по своей специальности. Учитывая, что при переводе на другой язык возможна неполная передача значений слов текста подлинника, поэтому текст перевода не может считаться эквивалентом подлинника. Задача перевода заключается в том, чтобы сводить до минимума потери при переводе. Большую помощь при переводе специального текста оказывает словарь. Приступая к работе со словарём, необходимо познакомиться с его структурой, что позволит в дальнейшем более эффективному его использованию. Работа над текстами, представленными для ознакомительного чтения, предполагает формирование навыков извлечения основной информации из текстов различной сложности, способствующих формированию таких стратегических умений, как языковая догадка, вероятностное прогнозирование. Для ознакомительного чтения предлагаются в основном тексты публицистического характера, содержащие определенный фактический материал и его интерпретацию. Тексты подобного рода обычно выстроены в соответствии с некоторой логической канвой, которая также подлежит вычленению и интерпретации. Работа над текстами для ознакомительного чтения может также служить основой для формирования тематического словаря.
