Short description

Ural Federal University is the largest university in the Urals, the leading scientific and educational center of the region and one of the largest universities Russian Federation. About 35,000 "https://urfu.ru/ru/about/today/" students study in it, including about 32,000 full-time students (according to this indicator, UrFU is comparable only with Moscow State University, St. Petersburg State University and Southern Federal University). provide more than 4000 teachers, among them more than 650 doctors of sciences and about 2100 candidates of sciences, more than 30 members state academies. Education is carried out in 64 undergraduate areas, 26 master's areas, 126 postgraduate specialties and 42 doctoral specialties. The university has 30 dissertation councils.

In July 2013, UrFU was among 15 universities of the Russian Federation that received the right to additional funding as part of the competition for entry into the world university rankings. .

Until the beginning of 2013, there was a post of president of the university, since the establishment of the post, the duties of the president were performed by Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Stanislav Stepanovich Naboichenko, former rector of USTU-UPI.

History of creation

In subsequent years, the following faculties were created (or restored) at the institute: geological exploration, mining, forestry, and mechanical. In 1929, the Faculty of Civil Engineering was created, and the Faculty of Chemistry and Metallurgy was divided into the Faculty of Chemistry and Metallurgy. In 1930, during the reform of higher education (Resolution of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR and the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR of July 23, 1930 "On the reorganization of universities, technical schools and workers' schools") UPI was divided into 10 institutes (universities). [ ]

UPI and USU

In 1931 as independent university Sverdlovsk State University was restored (in 1936 it was named after A. M. Gorky, who took an active part in the organization of Ural University in 1920). On June 22, 1934, the UPI was recreated on the basis of 7 out of 10 universities, at the same time it became known as the Ural Industrial Institute (UII) (in 1934, the institute was named after S. M. Kirov).

Thus, since the mid-1930s, there were two independent large universities in Sverdlovsk. In 1945, the Sverdlovsk State University was renamed into the Ural State University named after A. M. Gorky. In turn, in 1948 the Ural Industrial University was again renamed into the Ural Polytechnical Institute(UPI). On December 24, 1992, UPI was transformed into the Ural State Technical University (USTU) (order of the Ministry of Science, Higher Education and Technical Policy of the Russian Federation dated December 24, 1992 No. 1133). April 23, 2008 Ural State Technical University was named after its graduate Boris Yeltsin [ ] .

Big Eurasian University

In the early 2000s, the administration of the Sverdlovsk region and the leadership of the two largest universities in Yekaterinburg - USTU-UPI and USU - came up with the idea of creating a Greater Eurasian state university(BEGU) by combining technical and classical universities, as well as a number of other universities. The project of the university included the construction of a university campus on the site of a forest behind the Maly Shartash lake and was included in the master plan for the development of Yekaterinburg. Despite the support of the regional leadership (E. E. Rossel), the construction of BEGU was skeptically perceived in the state university, supporters of integration were defeated in the rector's elections in 2007. In December 2008, it was announced that the BEGU project was closed and the Ural Federal University was formed on the basis of the developments made. (UrFU). The new concept is less ambitious, but is supported by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation. [ ]

Creation of the Federal University

In the future (in the light of the organization of federal universities in Russia), it was decided to apply for the creation of a federal university on the basis of two universities.

Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin was founded by decree of the President of the Russian Federation D.A. Medvedev No. 1172 dated October 21, 2009. educational institution higher vocational education"Ural State Technical University - UPI named after the first President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin".

On April 8, 2010, the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin in Novosibirsk (at a meeting on the modernization of higher professional education in Russia) announced the appointment of the former head of the government of the Sverdlovsk Region, Candidate of Historical Sciences Viktor Koksharov, to the post of rector of the Ural Federal University. The order was signed on April 9 .

In August 2017, the decision of the Government of the Russian Federation was published, which allowed Ural Federal University to independently award degrees.

UrFU and UMMC Technical University

Ural Federal University played a significant role in the creation of the only private university in Russia technical university- Technical University UMMC. In the summer of 2013, at the exhibition "Innoprom-2013", an agreement was signed between UMMC and UrFU on the creation of a special department "Metallurgy" for the new university. In addition, the Ural Federal University allocated 176 million rubles for the creation of this university, opened in September of the same year. On September 2, 2014, a Research Center was opened at the UMMC Technical University. The close relationship between the two universities is expressed in the fact that the functioning of the center is supported by the Metallurgy Department of the Ural Federal University, created in 2013 (it is headed by the director of the Institute of Materials Science and Metallurgy of the Ural Federal University, Doctor of Technical Sciences V. A. Maltsev) and the Joint Stock Company Uralelectromed, which is part of the UMMC. UrFU purchased special scientific equipment, spending 171 million rubles on it, and UMMC allocated 200 million rubles. for the construction and equipping of a 4-storey building.

Position in ratings

Currently, in many ratings of UrFU (UGTU-UPI) and USU. Gorky are still counted as separate universities. The exception is, in particular, the world ranking QS World University Rankings. In 2011, in the QS ranking, Ural Federal University occupies 451-500th place, that is, it is included in the Top-500 (in total, the positions of 712 world universities are taken into account). The same group includes, for example, the University of Shanghai, the University of Salamanca, the University of Vermont, the Belarusian State University, etc. Among all Russian universities Ural Federal University was sixth, ahead of only Moscow State University, St. Petersburg State University, Moscow State Technical University, MGIMO and NSU. In 2012, UrFU retained the 451-500th place, bypassing such universities as the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia (537th place), the Higher School of Economics (542nd place), Tomsk State University (580th place), Kazan Federal University (663rd place). At the same time, in the QS ranking, UrFU is the leader of the ranking among all Russian federal universities. In 2013, UrFU was in the 501-550 group in the QS ranking, although it remained the leader among federal universities in Russia and the second non-capital university in the top ten.

The Republican Research Scientific and Consulting Center of Expertise (FGU NII RINKCE) included UrFU in the top five Russian universities that most effectively develop their innovation activities. According to the relevant key indicators, UrFU ranked fourth after Moscow State University, Tomsk State University and Moscow State Technical University. According to the Research Institute RINKCE, in 2010 UrFU produced works and services worth 14.6 million rubles and products - 17.7 million rubles. At Moscow State University, the same figures amounted to 1.04 million and 5 billion, respectively, at TSU - 1.08 billion and 214 million rubles, at MSTU - 1.8 billion and 1.7 million rubles. At the same time, in terms of the number of projects being implemented (respectively, 101 and 134), UrFU approached TSU and outperformed Moscow State University and MSTU (respectively, 96 and 3). At the same time, Ural Federal University received 34.3 million rubles from the state budget in 2010 for the development of innovative infrastructure, while Moscow and Tomsk universities received 42.9 million rubles each.

In 2015, the university lost its position in the QS World University Ranking. UrFU shares the line from 601-650 with other universities, while a year earlier it was at 551 positions. In addition to the QS ranking, there is the Shanghai ranking, in which Ural Federal University ranks 901st. In the BRICS University Rankings educational institution located on the 77th line, and in the ranking of higher educational institutions of Russia is on the 13th line [ ] .

UrFU and FSB

In 2016, the Ural Federal University published documents from which it follows that the university has divisions whose leaders are appointed to positions only in agreement with the FSB. According to media reports, many current and former FSB employees and their relatives, as of 2016, held positions in the administration of UrFU: Vice-Rector for General Affairs V. Kozlov, Advisor to the Rector V. Ilinykh, Deputy Vice-Rector K. Polovnev.

Video surveillance at lectures

As of 2017, the university had "security" video surveillance in 100 classrooms out of 500 available. This practice has existed (according to the data provided by the press secretary of the university in May 2017) for about three years. Since 2017, lecture recordings have been broadcast from these cameras.

University problems

As of March 2016, the UrFU rectorate included: 1 rector, 2 first vice-rectors, 3 deputy first vice-rectors, 7 vice-rectors and 10 deputy vice-rectors. Such strange positions as vice-rector (in fact, deputy deputy rector) arose as a result of the merger of two universities, when new managerial positions had to be created for former vice-rectors. For example, USU Vice-Rector for scientific work A. O. Ivanov

University problems

A series of scandals, after which there were rumors of Koksharov's resignation, was associated with a number of lectures, including the author of the election program of the oligarch Mikhail Prokhorov, a liberal intellectual, the editor-in-chief of Ekho Moskvy, the EU ambassador in Moscow and the head of the German Foreign Ministry. The main message: Russia may be a good country, but it is unsuitable for the development of new technologies, it should not be independent, it should abandon its imperial ambitions away, and at the same time return Crimea to Ukraine. Such a series of anti-Russian lectures was outraged by the Ural social activists, who spoke about this situation at the ONF conference in Moscow.

“As a citizen, I am against the filter of topics and speakers at discussion platforms, including at state universities. But when one after another there are speeches against the President of Russia, for the Ukrainian junta, and there are no alternative speakers, this is wrong. Everything from the simple: different points vision should be presented so that young people can evaluate the quality of presentation of a particular historical fact. In a state university, a tilt to one side is strictly unacceptable, since, excuse me, these universities are supported by budget funds", - said in an interview with Nakanune.RU co-chairman of the Central Headquarters of the ONF, secretary of the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation Alexander Brechalov.

Another public figure Iosif Diskin, Chairman of the Commission for the Harmonization of Interethnic and Interreligious Relations of the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation noted that the decision on the fact of holding anti-Russian lectures in UrFU - " this is the business of the academic council of the corresponding university, this is their principled position".

After a wave of criticism of the university and the rector from the media, public figures, including from Moscow, it seemed that the situation began to improve - Viktor Koksharov invited the main "Afghan" of the country and an active participant in the patriotic movement Franz Klintsevich to read regular lectures, announced a number of events in in preparation for the 70th anniversary of the Victory, as well as a real boost of patriotism among students. However, after a short time at the university, they again sounded that. Some observers suggest that such a "swing" was due to the uncertainty in the fate of the rector, and the return to liberal propaganda - with the confidence that "life is getting better" and "everything is decided up there." However, we must not forget that, who represented the last lecturer - Mikhail Shvydkoy. Naturally, all this is happening not without the knowledge, but even with the approval of Viktor Koksharov. The university has not yet recognized that anti-Crimean and anti-Russian lectures are not very appropriate in federal university. Apparently, this is precisely the "principled position of the Academic Council" or this position does not exist at all.

Returning to the family of the first president, it is worth remembering one more fact - despite the general confrontation between Russia and the West, Yeltsin's relatives are honored and welcomed in countries that even profess openly Russophobic views. For example, only a month ago, the Executive Director of the Yeltsin Foundation, Alexander Drozdov, visited Tallinn, where he presented letters of thanks from Naina Yeltsina to several people who were most active in the opening of the bas-relief in honor of Boris Yeltsin in 2013, including a member of parliament and a former minister. The bas-relief says that it was installed in memory of Boris Yeltsin, who made a contribution to the "peaceful restoration of Estonia's independence", that is, saved it from the bonds bloody councils. Note that this happened in the same Tallinn, where last years banned entry, for example, academician Valery Tishkov, actor Ivan Okhlobystin, chairman of the public council under the Ministry of Defense Igor Korotchenko, and ex-deputy of the European Parliament Julieto Chiesa was imprisoned and expelled from the country for trying to speak at a round table with a pro-Russian position. And in the same Tallinn, where they decided.

A month later, Drozdov received the French Order of Merit. The same award was received by one of the co-organizers of the History of Stalinism, the head of the Rosarkhiv Sergei Mironenko. At the same time, relations between Russia and France, let's face it, are not particularly good.

The president's daughter, Tatyana Yumasheva, does have Austrian citizenship along with her husband. They were able to obtain citizenship in 2009 on the guarantee of the leadership of the Canadian automobile concern Magna for a major "contribution to the development of the Austrian automotive industry." True, the Russian public had two questions: how many brands of Austrian cars can the reader remember, and why do Canadian businessmen vouch for the daughter of the late ex-president before the Austrian authorities? It is clear that the questions are rhetorical.

Everything falls into place if we remember that the Magna concern since the early 1990s has been closely associated with the "young reformers", in particular, with Anatoly Chubais and the business empire of Yumashev's son-in-law Oleg Deripaska. It's no secret that Magna's board of directors includes prominent Western politicians, including members of the Bildeberg Club.

It remains to be stated that the Boris Yeltsin family retains its influence not only in Russia, but also in the ranks of the Western business and political elite. And in this sense, an attempt to keep in the orbit of their influence one of the largest universities in the country with loyal leaders and government funding looks to them as real as it is justified.

I am a 3rd year student at high school economics and management - I like everything. Teachers explain the material being studied well, help to write scientific articles that can then be published - this is a valuable practice for students. The schedule of couples on time is convenient - you can combine it with work or part-time work. Of the minuses - sometimes couples are placed in a building at a different address, it is not always convenient - to travel to different places. The dean's office is always ready to help students with any questions. Can be in free time study in the library or in the coworking area. The university also has a bright extracurricular life - the UrFU Ball is held, various events, conferences, there is an opportunity to go to the camp with a student team, go to work at a construction site or as a conductor on a train. The university provides many opportunities to express yourself and learn something. Some hostels are quite old, there are cockroaches, and they need renovation.

The Institute of Radioelectronics and Information Technologies of UrFU is a cool high-quality combination of teachers, students and the administration of the institute. The Institute does not stand still - it uses different approaches to teaching students and improving the skills of teachers. Graduates of the institute as students or upon completion easily get a job in an IT company. IRIT-RTF students are always leaders in the university and represent it at all-Russian and international events. In general, UrFU is a worthy university, Yekaterinburg is a great city. Non-residents are provided with a hostel and each institute has its own hostel, not far from the university. The university is developing noticeably, when it first entered there were ordinary whiteboards everywhere, and now it is mostly interactive whiteboards and projectors. Changes are taking place in better side both nutrition and comfort.

I study full-time at the Institute of New Materials and Technologies. This is my first higher education(bachelor's degree, 4 years of study). I am studying metallurgy. What can I say about the university? The teachers are real pros, at least in my department J. They share their knowledge and invaluable practical experience. As for material equipment, everything you need is here: e-library(books, lectures, scientific articles), classroom fund, projectors (for lectures in the form of presentations), etc. It is very interesting to study, various conferences are constantly held, and very often metallurgical companies arrange engineering competitions with cash prizes, as well as the opportunity to get a job-offer in one of the leading companies. The Institute is interested in the further employment of its graduates, therefore employers are often invited. Also, new modern and comfortable hostels are being built for non-resident students. The last of these was hostel No. 8, where I live, it is a block type, 2-3 people live in rooms. All are created in it. the necessary conditions for the comfort of students. UrFU education is valued not only throughout Russia, but throughout the world. Our university is recognized and it's cool, I'm proud)!!!

In general, I can characterize my university as very good, my institute - INMT - as excellent. I am happy that I chose UrFU, graduated from this university, received a decent education and filled my head with a huge amount of really necessary knowledge (if anything, I finished the direction Information Systems and technology in metallurgy). It was difficult to enter, but it was worth it) I passed each USE subject for 70+. Pluses of training: versatile education, good teaching both in terms of theory and, what is very important, a lot of practice, give very deep knowledge, very strong Teaching Staff, in-depth study necessary disciplines (economics, law, languages) if necessary.

From the beginning of my first year of undergraduate studies, I thought about the important question: "What do I want to achieve through education?" The answer was very simple: I want a prestigious job with a decent salary. And since I liked the sphere of energy and finance, I considered these areas. I am currently studying for budgetary basis under the program "Energy business" in the REC "ENGEK". In my opinion, this is the best department that trains power engineers and managers at the same time. At the moment I work in the Investment Department of JSC "Ekaterinburg Electric Grid Company". I got a job immediately two days after receiving my diploma. I thought it would be difficult to combine study, work, and personal life, but every weekday I have time to drink coffee with friends, attend a piano evening, and also go to the cinema :)

Good day! I'll start with the fact that it's a shame for the state. It's just embarrassing. Everything is bought and sold and no one is shy. And who is not for sale, he simply does not want to work. Created a "brand" and trade it. This has long been a huge dishonest business, not education. Let's take full-time, 1 course, write term papers: in the same Peda, the teacher communicates with you, personally, PERSONALLY (it’s probably not in vain that you spend time and money on a point), explains what and how to do, instructs you, supervises. What's going on here? 1st year, there was still no work experience, no experience in writing term papers, no one wants to see students in person, the teacher delays all deadlines for issuing assignments, checking and submitting papers. Who is to blame and who suffers? Naturally a student. There is nowhere to complain. Yes, and no one cares already, three is enough, if only they would not be tortured for nothing. Then they wonder why people order and rent other people's work for money. There is no practically worthy education in the country. And this review, describing only a drop in the ocean. Nobody wants to work, but only steal. You know, it's embarrassing. Shame on the country. Do we have a future?

hmm .. I was disappointed in this university upon admission, so to speak, the attitude was not the best, they immediately found fault with the documents, shouted at me saying that the photos sign the documents, the photocopies are not all, and even after I passed the test and was on the list of applicants for the budget by points in 8th or 9th place among all, they had to close the submission of originals on 08/12/16 ... they assured me that after 08/12/16 they would no longer accept documents from those who enter the exam. and what do you think on 08/19/16, a girl appears on the list for the budget, naturally I dropped out of the competition, and she was included in the competition, although according to the rules they should not have taken her already, she was late, from which I concluded that this was my man by pull shoved .. the university is engaged in freezing money, in Moscow they teach this specialty much cheaper, where to get 77,400 a year? and to study for 5 years .. it’s a bit far to Moscow, but here it’s closer, I already drove for almost a day to enter and stuck around for 3 days to pass mathematics, because the exam didn’t have enough points ... in the end what? someone gave someone a good paw and that's it !!

Maria Nikitina 10.03.2018 21:41

The admissions committee does not work well. Called in advance to clarify as I have benefits. Having collected the documents, I arrived at the university, they told me everything is not where you got these documents from, we need others. By the way, I was from the region and drove 7 hours. I said that the secretary listed these documents to me. To which I received an answer, maybe you didn’t call us. The studies began.... The Russian language teacher said that we are the elite only because we entered Urfa. At that time, I had a spo and I want to say that the teachers in the college were more competent. AND studying proccess was much more interesting. In a foreign language, the teacher could be offended by an obtuse or even worse. Many would like to learn Russian .... not always everything works out for everyone. The Dean always knows nothing. I waited a month and a half for the documents and the order of expulsion. I took the documents myself because I did not like either the study or the teaching staff. As a result, the order wrote about non-compliance curriculum. I maintain relationships with classmates 70 percent are not enthusiastic about the university. And I also learned that 17 people left the two groups of our direction. I think that this is an indicator, but really smart guys have left and not slobs.

Good day! I am a student of UrFU and I am a 3rd year student. I would like to tell about the university for future generations of applicants) UrFU is a worthy Ural university, entering here, you are guaranteed to receive a quality education, which is valued not only in Russia, but also in foreign countries, I myself, studying in the 2nd year, went on an exchange to Bulgaria for six months, they consider our university to be very promising for training scientific personnel, of course there are also disadvantages, for example, hostels, but recently the university administration has been trying to improve, a new one was built last year hostel, so I think this university should be considered for admission and study!

I like studying at UrFU. There is always such a cozy atmosphere. I love my group, our friendly gatherings in the canteen, heated discussions, polemics at seminars. It is very interesting to discover constantly something new, previously unexplored. Thanks to the teachers for their patience and willingness to help. UrFU! Thanks for making new friends! Thank you for the knowledge that we take from you for free! You are the best university!

Marina Antipova 08/30/2017 15:34

The university is certainly not bad, it gives a really high-quality education! qualified teachers, new technology, new benefits, BUT in relation to students, this is not the best university, although it is Federal! In the first year, almost everyone who wants to is accommodated, and then there are guys from the turn of 50 km, it seems to someone that this is not much, but you ride every day, especially if difficult couples and practices drag on until the evening. The second year is coming and the problems begin! First of all, first-year students are accommodated, until everything seems logical, then they are accommodated foreign students ONE in a room designed for FOUR Russian students! well, then, if you are active, participate in non-educational events, earn points, REPEAT NOT STUDY, then they give you a place, of course, you must close the session without triples, but if there is a person with only fours, but very active and you, who only one 4, I'm sorry, but the choice is not yours. This continues for another 3 years, yes, exactly 3, even in the LAST 4th year, when people have a diploma on their nose, they are denied places. It is also worth noting that the dormitories are half empty, on our floor (last year) of 5 rooms, 2 were occupied, the situation is approximately the same on other floors. The rooms are not rented out, because of some mythical renovation, which I personally saw once in 3 when I lived, and then ... the guys lived in these rooms and were moved to others for a week of repairs.

In general, in terms of STUDIES, this university wins among many, but if you are counting on a stable place in a hostel, then this is definitely NOT UrFU.

Egor Andreev 07/27/2017 08:57

He graduated from the first course of the Ural Federal University, the direction of applied mathematics and physics. It is difficult to evaluate studies at UrFU in other areas, since mine is very strong and very difficult. Unlike other bands, we had more practice and theory, which made it an extremely strong band. All 24 people closed the session from 1 time in all subjects. Among our teachers there are only candidates and doctors of sciences. In general, if you want serious education, then you do not need to leave for Moscow or St. Petersburg. We have a serious theoretical direction in the Urals.

Graduated from radio faculty this year. I will say this - the training was not easy, but I have never regretted my choice. Radik is the best. I was very lucky with the group, the teachers are also excellent, in general, only positive emotions and memories about UrFU remained. I already miss the native walls of the university and our canteen, I would repeat these 4 years again, but now it's time to go on a free voyage and look for a job. Thanks to the UrFU job fair and the reviews of senior students, pah-pah-pah, there is an opportunity to choose an enterprise.

Ivan Ivanov 01/20/2017 17:47

A little about myself: I am a first-year state student of the UPI IRIT-RTF, who finished the winter session with excellent marks.

In short, the university is shit! Do not submit documents here, do not repeat our mistakes (already students)! If it's full, then sit down comfortably and I will take you to all the sweet corners of this institute - let's go. Everything that will be written by me below will be only my opinion and describe the situation at the "faculty" of IRIT-RTF and hostel No. 11.

1. The level of education. The motto of the university is "You can't teach, you can only learn!" The information is presented in a "bare" and incomprehensible form, they explain absolutely nothing (lectures are read from the projector slides in electronic form), and the control one after another and how to write them, no one cares, and then you have to sit for days and nights on your own (this during the semester itself, not even a session yet!) and INDEPENDENTLY learn the topic and write a test on it at least for a low score. Consultations - no! The bottom line on this point is that no one will teach you, you will be forced to teach yourself so as not to be expelled.

2. Attitude towards students. On students everything is like light bulbs. Who you are and what's wrong with you in your studies are purely your problems.

3. A standard (academic) scholarship is paid to everyone with all the rules, as in other universities (2100r). But suddenly, you decide to go for an increased scholarship, then here you will go through 7 circles of hell and, what is most funny, you will not get anything! On the site, the information (orders, regulations, etc.) is mostly no longer relevant, and as a result, the applicant, reading the regulations on the site and counting on something, will not receive anything, explaining this in one phrase - "the provisions are outdated, the new orders have we are not, and the university has no money at all to pay any increased scholarships." This is what they did to me and many other excellent students. Concerning higher scholarship 10,000 rubles to those who have 250+ USE points, then this is true. But only up to 1 session, then if you didn’t finish the winter session perfectly, bye bye. The result on this point is that while you are an applicant, everyone needs you and everyone will beckon you possible ways when you are a student, you are nobody. No one will help you and nothing will be given to you.

4. The attitude of employees in internal divisions is boorish and ugly! They never know anything and always send (redirect) to other departments, supposedly they will tell you there, and there the situation repeats itself and so the vicious circle. The result is an unskilled composition of employees at the "faculty" of IRIT-RTF.

5. Hostel. This could go on all day long, but I'll try to be brief. So, if YOU ARE NOT A FOREIGN entrant, then you will live in the most barracks conditions, in complete unsanitary conditions, and at night you will wake up and throw off a couple of cockroaches, because there are sooooo many of them in the hostel and no treatments are carried out. The furniture is all old and in addition it is almost non-existent in the rooms (you have to buy and bring your own), mice are still running around. The walls are very thin, any conversation from the next room is remarkably audible, and it is completely impossible to fall asleep at night, as a result, everything turns into a big conflict. Repairs were carried out only on the 4th and 5th floors of the hostel, where foreigners are accommodated. It’s not realistic for a Russian freshman to get there! The result is that you will be settled for 1 course, for 2 already with a huge question, and whether you still have the desire to live in a hostel in a year is also a big question.

And once again - Conclusion: Do not submit documents here, do not repeat our mistakes (already students)! There are many alternatives to this institute with the same passing score, and with much better conditions in all respects. And I myself plan to transfer to another university.

P.S. Wonderful cloakroom attendants work for IRIT-RTF. God bless them and all the best. It's really, wonderful people looking at which you want to live and smile.

I graduated from Linguistics at ISPN UrFU (4 years). It's horrible!!! Education - ZERO! The direction itself is exaggerated, somehow cunningly opened at the faculty of the m / o. There is nothing philological here, connected with real science and the study of languages - just rudeness, endless raids by the scientific instructor and academic secretary, presenting old grievances at the state and defending a diploma. A friend graduated from yaz in pede, I really regret that I didn’t go there ((

UrFU. Recently, this university has always appeared everywhere and always. Because of the quality of education? Because of educational programs? Absolutely not. Who knows, maybe they have paid for everything, but the fact is that the quality of education has been rapidly falling down in recent years. Most graduates receive diplomas (with excellent or good grades!!!), but have no idea why. There is emptiness in their heads, there are a lot of such examples, even myself. I will not be modest, I will say that both I and the guys with whom I studied are smart, happy people, from good families, graduates of prestigious gymnasiums and lyceums. However, we left the university and realized that we did not understand anything. Engaged, did something these five years, tried, studied. But now we can’t even imagine where and with whom we can work in our specialty! Most of my classmates entered UrFU, we communicate, meet, share our impressions. And here we are again. I was shocked! All these people don't know what they've been taught! It's just a pity that entire generations are killing themselves in this university. Last year, the guys I knew came after great results in a test drive. We went there full of ambitions, plans for life. towards the middle school year they began to say with regret that the university does not justify itself, it is boring to study, it is absolutely uninteresting, life has become not a joy. And it would be okay if it was just boring, learning is not always fun, and then they began to understand that they were not taught anything. One even left the most prestigious faculty and re-enrolled this year. They say about teachers: "Who did not die, he left." Corruption is rampant. Sometimes a whole group fails exams (for example, a friend had it twice). They go to exams with gifts, they arrange surprises for teachers. And it turns out to knock out the machine! How can you learn like that? I do not understand what can remain in the minds of those who do this. Although we didn’t do this very much (I admit, we once had such a practice), but we don’t have anything in our heads either. And what is most interesting, no one stops it, the teachers only look with gratitude at the gifts and let the students go to hell. Brother and sister of the younger ones (pretty smart guys, teachers have high hopes) are sent by all teachers either abroad or to St. Petersburg / Novosibirsk. In Novosibirsk, the scientific base is large, they teach well in a variety of areas. And technically developed, and medicine. Guys need this. Petersburg, probably, it is not necessary to speak, and it is so clear that education there is at a high level. Czech Republic, Germany. Austria, Switzerland, Great Britain are ready to accept the guys, they speak languages, so most likely we will send them there. It becomes really scary when you see guys participating in this notorious test drive, whose eyes are burning, who have a lot of thoughts, plans and ideas, who are young and interesting ... And who enter this university. I don’t want them to form such an opinion about life from these 17-18 years, they say, disappointment is everywhere, no one really needs you, do it the way you want, no one here wants to teach you anything. A separate story with all sorts of preparatory courses. In the first lessons, for an hour and a half, children are told about the programs, initially saying that the classes are paid for by the budget, and after submitting applications, everyone suddenly finds out that the courses cost 15,890 rubles a year! And that's just for one subject. So at present there is nothing to do at the HSE, UPI. It’s more difficult for me to talk about humanitarian areas, since there are not very many acquaintances there, but, it seems, African studies are more or less well developed, everyone wants to learn the Korean language, yes. Think for yourself, decide for yourself, but my advice to you: I, as a person representing my friends, UrFU graduates, I tell you - run! If you do not want to kill yourself and your potential here, then look for educational institutions that are really worthy of you! Good luck!

March 29 visited the day open doors, my daughter is in the 10th grade, until March 29 she could not choose her future profession, we decided to go to URFU, see what and how, the daughter took her friend with her who wants to study as a programmer .... we go 550 km or 8 hours, so we left on the 28th with the expectation of spending the night in Yekaterinburg. we arrived, rented an apartment, walked around the city, everything was beautiful, clean and generally liked by both us and the children .. we chose the institutes that we wanted to go to for an open day: there, fur, energy and construction, the first was mat-fur at 11.00 - the children liked it , the director spoke normally, he and his assistants explained everything intelligibly, the girls came out inspired and said that everything, they decided to go to study at mat-fur ... (+) I promised them that the rest would also be interesting .... in there was no RTF in our plan, because they gathered on the 30th at 12.00 and we couldn’t get in because we had to go home, we tried to find the building where the RTF is located, but no one said anything intelligible ..... we walked for an hour and didn’t find it .... we went into admission committee, asked for booklets on RTF, the woman said that she didn’t have booklets, if you have questions, look at the site .... to my question, why then an open day if they have everything on the site, she shrugged her shoulders and said that she didn’t come up with it ... it was the first unpleasant moment. (-) then we had lunch in the dining room, they cook delicious, satisfying and not very expensive. (+) at 14.00 we went to a meeting with power engineers. the director could not communicate with the audience, and the other teachers too, the girls got bored after the fur there, it’s like a tub of cold water, (-) they scared away more than they lured them to their institute, at the end they said if anyone is interested, then in the foyer we’ll gather in groups to go in the classrooms, went out to look at this case, they themselves could not go because they also wanted to look at the builders. 3-4 crowds really gathered in the lobby, those who barked stood with their hands raised high in which the names of the faculties were on white sheets. builders upset even more, I thought there would be no one worse than power engineers, I was mistaken ... the director of the institute immediately said that there were no representatives of several faculties, because. he doesn't see them in the hall... they started talking further, the young dean was trying to connect something, talking about numbers. 2 more teachers did not say anything at all, introduced themselves and said that after everything they would lead everyone to the department and you need to "watch your hand" i.e. there weren’t even pieces of paper with the names of the faculties ... (-) in total, for visiting URFU, I put 2 pluses and 3 minuses; the children liked it on the mat-fur; I know that these are interesting professions and are always in demand, but after the speeches of the speakers I couldn’t break the girls ... I’ll also say that the school where our children study is not the weakest and I don’t worry about the exam at all, moreover, I think that 240-250 points are not for us problem. at the end of April we will go to open days in Kazan .. if we like it better there. then .... URFU sorry, you did not impress us.

The first couple of months are a delight. Until you get tired and you don't notice peeling ceilings, nasty desks and teachers who have long lost their qualifications or have not acquired it. Corruption is present, sometimes the whole group buys the entire exam. An established tradition of bringing gifts to exams. Most teachers don't give a damn about students and work on a "like/dislike" basis. Lectures are boring and already after the 1st month half of the flow does not appear on them. Hostels on 4 out of 10. There are certainly positive aspects, but they are few and worth looking at under a magnifying glass.

Ural Federal University named after the First President of Russia B. N. Yeltsin appeared quite recently, only in 2009, by decree of the President of the Russian Federation D. A. Medvedev, a new university was created on the basis of USTU-UPI. Later, in 2011, he was joined by one of best universities Urals – Ural State University named after A.I. A.M. Gorky. But, despite its short history, UrFU is very popular with applicants. And the achievements of those who have already joined the ranks of students and graduates are the pride of the entire Ural federal district. But let's start in order and talk about what awaits everyone who has received a student ID card with the letter "U" next to the photo.

Admission to a university is one of the most responsible and exciting stages of studying at a university. Most applicants prepare for it in advance, devoting their free time from school to tutors and preparatory courses. As a result, every year certificates with high USE results open the way to the beginning of a new life within the walls of the university for about 4,000 applicants. So, for example, in 2012, enrolled in face-to-face there were 4,237 students, including 75 students enrolled in my specialty - "public relations".

One out of ten students top universities countries dream of becoming not only yesterday's schoolchildren of the Ural Federal District. In my group, almost half are nonresident students from Alma-Ata, Irkutsk, Khabarovsk, Surgut, Moscow. Of the 30 classmates, only 7 people are the natives of Yekaterinburg, but this does not scare at all, but, on the contrary, gives unique opportunity get acquainted with the culture and traditions of other nationalities of our country. We get to know each other during a huge number of extracurricular activities and holidays. Our graduation will forever remember the evening when we became the owners of the prestigious title - "The best business card of the faculty" at the arena of the city circus. Many hours of rehearsals, selection of costumes, painted banners and ringing chants made it possible to become the best of the best in the parade of freshmen.

But cheerful student life- not the only thing that awaits on the way to obtaining the coveted diploma. Every six months, endurance tests await everyone: non-stop tests do not even allow you to think about sleep for a whole week, and the session immediately following them makes you read professional literature without interruption. Unfortunately, many are exhausted or simply rely on the great Freebie, and by the end of the training, exactly half of us remain. Only 15 out of 30 applicants make it to the finish line. Studying is not always easy: along with disciplines, when the very presence of a student in class allows you to get the desired “pass”, there are also subjects that have to be taken more than once. In my history of study, there was a case when I had to take a seemingly simple test 3 times. For the last and most successful time, I came, as they say, fully armed: I knew by heart all the lectures on discipline that we had been reading for a whole year.

The learning process is diverse - absolutely everything is taught here, because UrFU is the most classical university. Pairs of medicine, three years physical training, concepts modern natural science, a comprehensive examination of the profession from different angles: mathematics, philosophy, economics - a wealth of disciplines paints a complete picture future profession. Teachers who not only provide a theoretical basis, but also teach how to apply knowledge in practice deserve high praise.

Long before graduation, many of the students begin to work, and, what is very important, in their specialty. Most large companies do not attach importance to what course you are currently on, the only condition is the successful combination of work and study. For employers, every UrFU student is a welcome employee in their staff. Therefore, for everyone who prioritizes professional implementation, UrFU will be a win-win option on the path to success.

My eldest son graduated from this university last year, and the middle one is studying now. Every year the university is getting worse and worse. If during the study of the elder everything was determined precisely by knowledge, now the qualifications of the teaching staff have significantly decreased. Young teachers cannot boast of deep knowledge and, accordingly, they cannot convey anything to students either. Young teachers try to compensate for the lack of professionalism with tyranny. The remaining few "old shots" are not able to make a significant improvement in the overall sad picture. This is especially true for the Department of Engineering Graphics. If the leadership of the university fails to reverse this sad trend, in a few years it will no longer be necessary to enter this educational institution.

I studied from 2004 to 2009 at the Ural State University. A.M. Gorky at the Faculty of History, specialty "socio-cultural service and tourism", which is now part of the Ural Federal University, which, after the merger of USU and UPI, became the largest university in the city.

At the time when I entered, everyone passed the most common entrance exams, because experiments with tests and the exam were just beginning. For the specialty "socio-cultural service and tourism" it was necessary to take history (test and orally by tickets), foreign language(oral and written), Russian language (composition). budget places there were 10, and the competition was 20 people per seat. Of course, it was not easy to enter, even if he graduated from school with a medal. But I managed to get into the top 10 state employees. In total, there were about 30-32 people in the group on average, i.e. most of students studied for a fee. The training took place mainly in lecture form. At the end of each semester, we passed tests and exams in the subjects we had passed. Moreover, at USU there was no practice of buying tests and exams: it was possible to earn a machine gun - but not to buy it.

For the third year now I have been working not quite in my specialty, but also in the service sector. And the knowledge that I received in the process of training is still useful to me.

I am a student of Ural Federal University for almost a year, the first course. I study at the Institute of Natural Sciences, Department of Physics. My specialty is Metrology and standardization. It was not very difficult to enter, with good scores for the exam. The Russian language, mathematics and physics were taken into account. A place in the hostel was provided. There are enough budget places. Learning is not difficult if you are determined to gain knowledge and want it. There are no jokes about buying tests or exams here, not a hint that you can buy anything. The teachers are different, but the subject is always explained at the proper level and after that they demand only what they gave. The same mathematics is given by teachers from Mat-Meha. Education is given in a wide profile, both in the specialty and in general subjects. There are laboratories for chemical and physical practices. The active life of students is also well arranged. There are many circles and sections. Students actively participate in the life of the university. If you are determined to get a decent education, then I advise you to do it.

I studied at this university from 2008 to 2012, right after college, I decided to continue my education and entered the specialty Anti-crisis management (economics and enterprise management) at the Faculty of Economics and Management. I studied at the evening and for a fee, a competition, at the time of my admission there were 10 people per place. Upon admission, we passed 3 exams: physics, mathematics and Russian. Exams were held in the form of a test, it was easy to pass, everything was at the level school curriculum. We were recruited by 3 groups, but in the end only 2 graduated. We studied, we started in October, we had lectures for a month, and at the end of the hours we took tests and exams, which, as it turned out, is much more convenient than taking it at the end of the semester. In general, the training went smoothly, the teaching staff highest level, especially I would like to note the teacher Devi Yuri Mikhailovich, he "fought" for each student and perfectly explains his subject. You can also do an internship at the university base, they provided a base of employers with further employment, from our group 15 people got a job this way. I went through the practice myself, because at the time of training I was already working. In total, during the period while I was studying, we had 8 practices, i.e. 2 per year, one production and the second pedagogical. After graduating from the UPI, I changed my job to a more paid one and in my specialty.

University of California, San Diego is government agency, which was founded in 1960.

The University of California, San Diego is located next to Pacific Ocean in the La Jolla community of San Diego. The UCSD Tritons compete in over 20 NCAA Division II sports, primarily in the California Collegiate Athletic Association. The school has hundreds student organizations, and the university hosts a thriving Greek community. All freshmen are eligible for guaranteed on-campus housing for two years, but they are not required to live on campus. The campus has an aquarium and is home to a large High Performance Outdoor Vibration Site, which tests the structures' ability to withstand simulated earthquakes.

UCSD comprises six undergraduate colleges, five academic divisions, and five graduate and vocational schools. ItsSchool of Medicine and Jacobs School of Engineering have high rating. One UCSD tradition is the Sun God Festival, which began in the 1980s and includes concerts featuring popular musicians, carnival activities, producers and student stands. UCSD is also known for its International House, where approximately 350 students from over 30 countries live and study together. Notable UCSD alumni include Guy "Bud" Tribble and Bill Atkinson, who helped create the first Apple Macintosh computer, and Mike Judge, an actor, writer, director, and producer who created the film The Office Room and the TV series King of the Hill.

Story

When the Regents University of California originally sanctioned the San Diego campus in 1956, planned to be a graduate and research institute, providing instruction in the sciences, mathematics, and engineering. Local residents supported the idea, voting that same year to transfer to the university 59 acres (24 he) Mesa of land on the coast near the pre-existing Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The Regents requested an additional gift of 550 acres (220 he) of undeveloped mesa land northeast of Scripps, as well as 500 acres (200 he) of the former Camp Matthews site from the federal government, but Roger Revell, then director of the Scripps Institute and chief advocate for the establishment The new campus is jeopardizing site selection by exposing the La Jolla community to exclusive real estate business practices that are antagonistic to minority racial and religious groups. These are outraged local conservatives as well as Regent Edwin W. Pauley. UC President Clark Kerr satisfied the city of San Diego's donors by changing the proposed name from University of California, La Jolla, to University of California, San Diego. The city voted in agreement with him in 1958, and UC approved the construction of a new campus in 1960. Due to a clash with Pauley, Revelle was not made chancellor. Herbert York, First Director of Livermore National Laboratory, was appointed instead. York is planned as the main campus according to the "Oxford and Cambridge" model, building on many of Revell's ideas.

UC San Diego was the first general campus of the University of California to be designed "top down" in terms of emphasis studies. Local leaders disagreed on whether the new school should be a research institute or more broadly a school that included senior students as well. John Jay Hopkins General Dynamics Corporationpledged one million dollars for the former while the city council offered free land for the latter. Initial approval for the San Diego campus, given by UC Regents in 1956, approved a "Graduate Program in Science and Engineering" which included undergraduate programs, a compromise that won both General Dynamics and city voters' support for approval. Nobel laureate Harold Urey, a physicist at the University of Chicago, and Hans Suess, who had published the first paper on the greenhouse effect with Revelle the previous year, were the first faculty recruits in 1958. Goeppert-Meyer, later the second female laureate Nobel Prize in physics, was appointed professor of physics in 1960. The graduate division of the school opened in 1960 with 20 faculty in residence, with instruction offered in physics, biology, chemistry, and earth sciences. Before the main campus was completed, classes were held at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

From 1963, new facilities at Mesa were completed for the School of Science and Technology, and new buildings were being built for public and humanities. Ten additional faculty members in these disciplines were hired, and the entire site was designated the first college, later renamed after Roger Revell, of the new campus. York resigned as chancellor that year and was replaced by John Semple Galbraith. The undergraduate program took its first class of 181 as a freshman at Revellu College in 1964. The Second College was founded in 1964, on federal land, and named after environmentalist John Muir two years later. The School of Medicine also admitted its first students in 1966.

Political scientist Herbert Marcuse joined the faculty in 1965. A champion of the New Left, he was reportedly the first protester to occupy the administration building in a demonstration organized by his student. political figure Angela Davis. The American Legion offered to buy out the remainder of Marcuse's contract for $20,000; The Regents censured Chancellor McGill for defending Marcuse on the basis of academic freedom, but further action was prevented after local leaders expressed support for Marcuse. Further student unrest was felt at the university as the United States increased its involvement in the Vietnam War during the early 1960s when a student raised the Viet Minh flag over the campus. The protests escalated as the war continued and only escalated after the National Guard opened fire on the protesters students at Kent State University in 1970. Over 200 students occupied Urie Hall, with one student setting himself on fire to protest the war.

Early research on faculty activity and quality, in particular in the field natural sciences, is an integral part of shaping the focus and culture of the university. Even before UC San Diego has its own campus, faculty recruits have already achieved significant research breakthroughs such as the Keeling Curve, a graph that is rapidly rising carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and was the first significant evidence of global climate change; the Kohn-Sham equation, used to study specific atoms and molecules in quantum chemistry; and the Miller-Urey experiment, which gave birth to the field of prebiotic chemistry. engineering, specifically computer science, has become an important part of the university's academics as it has matured. University researchers helped develop UCSD Pascal, an early machine-independent programming language that was later heavily influenced by Java, the National Science Foundation Network, a precursor to the Internet, and a network news transmission protocol in the late 1970s through the 1980s. In economics, methods for analyzing economic time series with time-varying volatility (ARV) and with general trends (cointegration) have been developed. UC San Diego has maintained its research-intensive nature since its founding, racking up 20 Nobel Prize winners in an affiliated 50-year history; rate of four per decade.

Under Richard C. Atkinson's leadership as chancellor from 1980 to 1995, the university strengthened its ties with the city of San Diego by encouraging technology transfer with emerging companies, turning San Diego into a world leader in technology-based industries. He oversaw the rapid expansion of the School of Engineering, later renamed in honor of Qualcomm founder Irwin M. Jacobs, with the construction of the San Diego Supercomputing Center and the creation computer science, electrical engineering, and bioengineering departments. Private donations increased from $15 million to almost $50 million a year, faculty expanded nearly 50%, and enrollment doubled to 18,000 students during his administration. By the end of his chancellorship, the quality of UC San Diego's graduate program was ranked 10th in the nation by the National Research Council.

The university continued to undergo further expansion during the first decade of the new millennium with the creation and construction of two new professional schools - the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and the Rada School of Management and the California Institute of Telecommunications and information technologies, a research institute to work in conjunction with UC Irvine. UC San Diego also reached two financial milestones during this time, becoming the first university in the western region to raise over $1 billion in its eight-year fundraising campaign in 2007 and also receiving an additional $1 billion in research contracts and grants in the same fiscal year. for the first time in 2010. Despite this, due to theCalifornia's budgetary crisis, the university loaned $40 million against its own assets in 2009 to offset a significant reduction in public education spending. The salary of Pradeep Kosla, who became chancellor in 2012, has been the subject of controversy amid ongoing budget cuts and tuition increases.
