THE BELARUSIAN-RUSSIAN UNIVERSITY

“Which University to enter?” is one of the biggest decisions you have to make after leaving school. It determines your entire future life.

This year I entered the Belarusian-Russian University in Mogilev. It is a dynamic modern university with a long history of providing higher education to meet the needs of society and industry. The University is subordinate to the Ministries of Education of the Republic of Belarus and of the Russian Federation.

The Belarusian-Russian University was founded in 1961 as the Mogilev Mechanical-Engineering Institute and later was reorganized into a university. It is located in the center of Mogilev. Now it comprises a system of a continuous educational process: Lyceum - College of Architecture and Construction – University – Professional Development and Retraining Institute. The total number of students is 12 000. The number of undergraduates at the University is 7500. The University has 8 faculties. It trains engineers and economists in compliance with the Belarusian and Russian educational standards.

Entrance to the University is by centralized testing. Those who pass tests successfully are enrolled in the first course. The basic subjects of this year are Higher Mathematics, Physics, History of Belarus, Belarusian, Russian and a Foreign Language, PT classes, etc. These subjects lay the foundation for specialized subsequent years. The University has a good computer network and our library is a real investment in supporting our students’ learning.

Specialists of the highest qualification are trained through Master and Post-Graduate (PhD) courses. The University has a specialized Board for defending theses and awarding Candidates of Engineering Sciences degrees.

The University close relationship with industry and commerce benefitsstudents, teachers and the society. The University also highly values its many international contacts. Students from foreign countries are an important part of the Belarusian-Russian University.

The University has three Halls of Residence situated within a walking distance from it. There are several sports clubs, providing a wide range of sporting opportunities. The overall strength of the Belarusian-Russian University and the attractions of the city of Mogilev together offer a strong incentive to live and study here.
