Higher education plays an important part in the life of our country as it provides the country with highly-qualified specialists. Higher education in this country is accessible to all. The greater part of students study free of charge, some - on a commercial basis.
The academic year usually lasts 9 months and is divided into two terms. At the end of each semester students take exams. If the results are good students get grants. Twice a year students have vacations - two weeks in winter and two months in summer.
The first and second-year students obtain thorough information in the fundamental sciences. The curriculum is enriched and broadened by such subjects as foreign languages, history and economics. At the third year students get more advanced knowledge and begin to concentrate on their "major" subjects. In senior years theory is accompanied by practical training.
After four years they will get a Bachelor's degree. Then the students may go on with their studies and in a year or two of further study and research get a Master's degree. After graduating they may continue research and get a still higher degree.
