Samara State Agricultural Academy

My name is Igor Sviridov. I started the Academy some months ago. I studyat the Engineering department and will make a specialist (a bachelor) in agriculture in a few years.

Our Academy is situated in one of the most beautiful and picturesque places of Samara region near the mouth of the Kinel river in a settlement called Ust-Kinelskii. It was set up as Samara Agrarian School at the beginning of the 20^th century. The oldest building of the Academy is made of red brick and looks like an ancient castle. Now everybody calls it “the Red Building”. In the post-war period the other buildings were constructed.

Nowadays our Academy comprises Agronomical, Biotechnological, Engineering, Economical and Technological faculties and some hostels. There is also one more faculty for distant learners. To name the figures, students are trained in 22 specializations at our Academy: Agronomy, Plant protection, Animal selection and genetics, Mechanization of agriculture, Agricultural economics and many others. In addition to this, three faculties (Engineering, Technological and Economical) specialize in advanced English studies.

I think our Academy enables students to get both theoretical knowledge and practical skills as we combine our classroom activities with vocational practice on the farms of Samara region. Moreover, there is a students scientific laboratory organized on the basis of Agronomical Faculty. So students can try themselves in scientific research.

As for our daily routine, we usually have 4 periods a day. We attendlectures, go to practical training classes and seminars, do a lot of laboratory works in physics, chemistry and other subjects in special laboratoriesand computer centres. Twice a year we have an examination period.

To get ready for classes, tests and exams, we are provided with a great collection of text-books, scientific literature and periodicals in two reading rooms and a library. Its electronic catalogue is always available to the students and teaching staff.

Speaking about our teachers, they are very experienced, to my mind. Some of them have taken their promotion courses in the leading universities of the world, due to the international activity of the Academy. Students are also encouraged to participate in different international programmes and enhance their educationabroad. Our foreign educational partners are Germany, France, Poland, Czech Republic, Canada.

As we study, so we have fun. We like to socialize and take part in different performances and contests, such as traditional Students` Autumns and Springs, Beauty Contests and so on.

When it comes to sport life, there are two sport centres in our Academy where students do their favourite sports. We play football, hockey, basketball, rugby, do athletics, wrestling, go skiing, skating and what not!

In September 2010 we celebrated the 90^th anniversary of the Academy. No doubt, it is quite a long time, but our Academy is on the way to new goals and new success! I am proud to study at Samara State Agricultural Academy!
