N.N. UNIVERSITY OF ARCHITECTURE AND CIVIL ENGINEERING
N.N. University of architecture and civil engineering is one of the leading institutions of higher education. It trains landscape architects, architects, civil engineers, designers, environmental engineers, managers and other specialists.
The university was founded in 1930. It is situated in Ilyinskaya and Gogol streets. Nearly thirteen thousand students study at the university including part- time students who combine their studies with work.
After entrance examinations most students take the course of General Engineering at the General Engineering Faculty. They study Physics, Chemistry, Math and technical sciences.
There are following faculties at the university: The faculty of Environmental Engineering Systems and Structures, the faculty of Architecture and Town Building, Management and Law faculty, General Engineering faculty and the Hydraulic Engineering faculty, etc.
As for me, I study at the faculty of Architecture and Design and it is really interesting for me. We study profession-oriented subjects such as dendrology, plant science,floriculture, soil science, landscape design, material science, plant physiology, e.t.c. The lecturers teach us to create ideas and put them down on paper. We also learn to design functional and harmonious spaces that will suit the needs of people.
The academic year is divided into two terms. During the term time the students attend lectures where they listen to the professors and make notes. At seminars they discuss different problems. They also do their laboratory work and have practice. Many students participate in research work.
There are lecture halls, well-equipped laboratories, reading-rooms, computer classrooms. There is a good library with technical literature and books in social sciences. Non-local students are provided with the hostels of the university.
Our graduates easily find jobs and have good career prospects. They work in designing firms and at the building sites all over the country.
