If you don’t believe that education can unite, then pay attention to the Southern Federal University, which helps more than thirty thousand students gain knowledge. But the most important thing is that the motto of this university is the expression “education unites.” So if you want to join this huge family, then check out the SFU Admission Rules 2017. In order to make it more convenient to understand this huge mass of information, we suggest that you first consider enrolling in the first year.
Admission to Bachelor's Degree
- For those who want to become a student, first of all you need to know the deadlines for submitting documents. After all, if you miss it, you will no longer be able to exercise your right to become a student this year. As in most universities, this stage will begin on June 20. As for the end, there are four different dates, namely:
- July 7 - for those who are required to take exams of a professional or creative nature;
- July 11 - for citizens who will take exams of another type;
- July 26 - for those who have the right to enroll without passing exams.
Now let's look at the features of the documents that need to be prepared for submission. Firstly, this is a prescribed form of application and document that can confirm the identity of the applicant. You also need to provide a document confirming your education. If the applicant has certain advantages, then he submits a document confirming the corresponding status. Applicants must submit two photographs if they belong to the category of citizens who are required to take exams.
As for the method of submitting documents, there are only three of them. The first involves submitting documents directly to the admissions committee. Its main drawback is only one thing - you can waste time waiting in lines. But despite this, many still trust this form of document submission most of all. Please note that if the applicant is unable to submit documents on his own, he can do so through a proxy. Just remember that such a person must provide the admissions officer with a document that confirms his authority.
The next step is submitting documents by mail. The main thing that applicants who have used this method of submission should know is that documents in this case must be submitted before July 26.
This university also provides the opportunity to submit documents electronically. So you can do it at home with only internet access.
You have the opportunity to choose any of the methods that suit you, the main thing is to remember and follow the deadlines.
Privileges
Firstly, the admission rules provide for the right to admission without passing entrance exams. Only a few categories of citizens will be able to use it, namely medalists and winners of All-Russian Olympiads. They are also joined by members of teams that represented the Russian Federation at international Olympiads. In this case, only the results for the last four years before the start of the entrance campaign are taken into account. Champions and medalists of the Olympic Games can also take advantage of this right. In any of the above cases, the applicant will be required to confirm his status with relevant documents.
Another type of benefit provides the opportunity for preferential rights during enrollment. More than ten categories of citizens who have a certain status will be able to use it, including children of fallen Heroes of the USSR. It is worth noting that this right will only be valid if you successfully pass the exams.
Each applicant makes a lot of effort to become students. It is precisely in order for each student to have the opportunity to demonstrate all their abilities that various kinds of competitions and olympiads are organized, as well as other types of events, the winners or participants of which will receive additional points upon admission. Such achievements include the winners of Olympiads, which are held directly by the university, and world champions in Olympic sports. In this case, your status, as in previous cases, must be confirmed by relevant documents. Please note that additional points will be awarded for each type of achievement. If an applicant has several types of individual achievements, then, of course, for each of them a corresponding number of points will be awarded, but no more than ten.
It is worth noting that this university provides the opportunity for applicants to obtain student status at SFU, for which an additional three points will be awarded.
So, take an active part in such events, get extra credits and become a student with ease.
Entrance exams
The first thing we pay attention to is that they will be held in Russian and in written form, with the only exception being physical fitness tests. Each applicant will have the opportunity to take each exam only once. If certain circumstances arise on the day of the test and the applicant is unable to appear for the exam, then he will be able to retake it either on a reserve day or with another examination group. But in this case, the applicant must document such circumstances.
During the exam, the applicant has the right to use reference materials, as well as certain computer equipment provided for in the admission rules. In this case, it is prohibited to use means of communication. In case of violation of this requirement, as well as in case of violation of other rules for conducting examinations, the applicant will be removed from the examination site.
As for the results, they can be found out no later than three days from the day of the test. They will be posted both on the university website and on information stands.
Please note that information about testing programs is already freely available, so you can familiarize yourself with them and prepare.
Passing scores
In addition to the question of entrance exams, applicants, of course, are interested in passing scores, which are established for each area and specialty, depending on the faculty and institute.
Please note that each subject will have its own passing score, which will differ depending on the priority of the exam at each faculty. For example, in the direction of “radio engineering” in the Russian language the minimum score is 55, but in the direction of “chemistry” - 50. A similar thing can be observed in exams in mathematics. So, in the field of “radio engineering” the minimum score is 50, but if you choose “information security” - 60. Therefore, pay attention to these details when studying the features of the admissions campaign.
At the same time, do not forget that there are three types of tests - mandatory, additional and provided by the educational organization. So each of them has its own passing scores ranging from 50 to 70.
Master's degree in 2017
The entrance campaign, depending on the chosen degree that the applicant plans to receive, has its own peculiarities. Therefore, let’s look at the main differences between enrolling in a master’s program.
Firstly, the submission of documents begins on June 20, but this stage will end on August 5. Secondly, exams will be held in August from the 7th to the 19th. As for their form, it is written and they will be assessed on a 100-point scale. In this case, it will be somewhat easier with passing scores - their indicator will be the same for both the paid form of education and for the budget - 50 points.
It is worth noting that the benefits that applicants can take advantage of when applying for a bachelor's degree do not apply to this admission campaign, with the exception of individual achievements. There are also several types of them, but we will pay special attention to some. For example, the winners of the Olympiads that the university conducts specifically for applicants to master’s programs will be able to receive an additional 10 points, but the prize-winners will receive 5. Also, applicants who have a higher education diploma with honors will receive an additional 5 points. Please note that for each achievement provided for in the admission rules, the applicant will be awarded the corresponding number of points. But the overall score in this case should not be more than 25 points.
Take all these features into account and let the admission procedure go quickly and without problems.
Prices in SFU
To choose a university, each applicant has his own criteria. One of them is the cost of educational services, to which we will pay additional attention. Please note that there is no information yet on the cost of education in 2017-2018, but despite this, approximate figures can still be studied. To do this, we will use prices for the current year. So, at this university the maximum tuition fee is 160,000 rubles per year. And this amount will have to be paid by those who want to understand the basics of jurisprudence. As for the minimum amount, it is provided for such areas as tourism, sociology and some others in the amount of 73,000 rubles. Please note that these amounts are indicated for those studying at a bachelor's degree.
The cost of a master's degree is traditionally, of course, more expensive than the prices for the first year. In this case, those citizens who want to learn the basics of design will have to pay the maximum amount, namely 149,000 rubles. The minimum figure is 79,000 rubles and it is also provided for “personnel management”.
Please remember that these figures are from previous years and may change. So take these aspects into account when choosing an educational institution for education.
The information you can get about the university can be found either on the university website or by visiting open days. As for the latter, this is an excellent opportunity to get to know the teachers, as well as the admissions officers, and ask them questions that interest you. The main advantage of this university is that each institute and faculty holds not one, but several such events per year. Therefore, everyone will be able to visit the walls of the university and see all its advantages for themselves.
People are attracted to this university primarily because here they can get a high-quality classical education. Some people have a great chance to travel abroad and do an internship at leading foreign partner universities. Applicants choosing SFU are interested, first of all, in what faculties there are here. Before talking about them, it is worth understanding the history of the creation of the university and getting acquainted with its multi-level structure.
Creation of an educational institution and its goals
In 2006, a large Russian university, the Southern Federal University, began operating in Rostov-on-Don. It has absorbed the traditions and knowledge accumulated by other universities, since SFU was founded on the basis of 4 united educational organizations:
- Rostov State University, operating since 1915;
- Rostov Pedagogical University, which began training personnel in 1930;
- operating since 1952;
- Rostov Academy of Architecture and Arts, which appeared in 1988.
The university was created with the aim of preserving and enhancing existing traditions, improving educational services, training highly qualified specialists, and active participation in research and innovation activities.
Structure of the educational organization
Since the Southern Federal University was created on the basis of several universities, it has a multi-level structure. The educational institution has academies, institutes, faculties and other divisions that organize training in specialties.
All existing structural units are combined into 5 large groups related to specific areas of knowledge:
- physics, mathematics and natural sciences;
- engineering direction;
- socio-economic and humanitarian direction;
- direction of education and science in the field of pedagogy and psychology;
- direction of education and science in the field of arts and architecture.
Faculties of physics, mathematics and natural sciences
This group of departments includes the Faculty of Physics. This is one of the largest structural units of the Southern Federal University. This faculty works with schoolchildren. A school of additional education operates on its basis. In it, children from a very early age study interesting science, immerse themselves in various experiments, and become interested in solving problems. After completing their studies at this school, many enter the Faculty of Physics at the Southern Federal University, choosing the most suitable and interesting specialties for themselves.
The Faculty of Chemistry also belongs to the physics, mathematics and natural sciences. On it, students study theory and conduct chemical research in laboratories. Applicants are offered one undergraduate course (“Chemistry”) and one specialty (“Applied and Fundamental Chemistry”). In senior years, students improve their acquired knowledge and skills in the specializations that are most interesting to them, of which there are more than 10.
Faculty of Engineering
The engineering department at the Southern Federal University includes the Faculty of Military Training. Its history began in the 20s of the last century. The currently existing faculty has several main tasks. Within the structure of the Southern Federal University, it must:
- implement military training programs for reserve officers at military departments in military specialties;
- carry out educational activities and work on military-professional orientation of youth.
Military education, which can be obtained at the faculty in question at the Southern Federal University, is considered additional. University students who undergo a medical examination, the stage of professional and psychological selection, and successfully pass physical training standards are accepted for training.
Management department
The Southern Federal University includes faculties related to socio-economic and humanitarian areas. One of these structural units is the Faculty of Management. It appeared in 2014 due to the shortage of management personnel in the region and country. This structural unit was separated from the Faculty of Economics.
For applicants at the Faculty of Management, one direction of bachelor's degree is offered - “Applied Informatics and Mathematics”. Here, students gain knowledge on the use of information technologies and systems in business, mathematical methods for making important management decisions. The proposed direction is characterized by a large amount of project work, students undergo internships, carry out research work and solve important practical problems.
Faculty of Economics
Southern Federal University (Rostov-on-Don) has an economic structural division. It grew out of the Faculty of Economics and Philosophy, which existed at Rostov State University since 1965. Currently, this is a fairly large structural unit, which includes 8 departments, 6 educational and research laboratories, 5 educational centers. The faculty sees its goals as:
- in the quality implementation of the educational process;
- expansion of services;
- development of human resources;
- improving the material and technical base;
- development of the faculty’s research potential;
- development towards national and international recognition.
At the Faculty of Economics, applicants are offered 2 areas of training - “Management” and “Economics”. In the first direction, students study financial and organizational management, business process management strategy, practice and theory of management decision making. At "Economics" students get acquainted with current disciplines. Teachers from different departments may be involved in delivering lectures on one subject. This allows students to develop a systematic vision of ongoing economic processes.
College of Applied Vocational Education
The Southern Federal University aims to train specialists not only with higher education. The structure includes the College of Applied Vocational Education.
This unit began its work in 2015. A college was created on the basis of:
- College of Economics, affiliated with the Higher School of Business;
- College of Arts and Humanities, which was previously part of the Academy of Architecture and Arts.
Directions of preparation in college
This structural unit of the Southern Federal University implements its educational activities in 6 specialties:
- "Information Systems";
- “Folk artistic creativity”;
- “Organization and law of social security”;
- "Banking";
- "Finance";
- “Accounting and economics (by industry).”
In all available areas of training, there is only full-time training. You can enroll in some specialties not only after 11th grade (i.e., on the basis of secondary general education). Persons who have completed 9 grades can also receive secondary vocational education.
In conclusion, it is worth noting that the Southern Federal University provides students with excellent opportunities to receive a quality education. Students can use modern computers, technical equipment and laboratory instruments, communicate with highly qualified teachers and receive from them the necessary theoretical knowledge and practical skills. It is worth noting that SFU students study not only in Rostov-on-Don. The Southern Federal University has branches in Gelendzhik, Zheleznovodsk, Makhachkala, Novoshakhtinsk, and Uchkeken.
For applicants who have not scored the required number of points for admission to the chosen faculty, there is an alternative - paid education. At SFU, tuition fees will vary depending on the specialty and the form of study (full-time/part-time). When enrolling in a paid education option, you still need to pass exams (Unified State Exam), with the only difference being that you need to exceed the minimum score threshold (50-60 points in each subject).
How to find out the passing score and how it is formed
The passing score depends on the competition. In fact, it is formed by the number of applicants who applied for the same specialty as you, as well as the results of passing the Unified State Exam.
Enrollment stages
First of all, students eligible for benefits are enrolled: those who take high places in competitions, orphans, and the disabled. The remaining places are filled by those who pass the general competition (the sum of three Unified State Examinations is calculated). Of course, applicants with a higher score have a greater likelihood of getting into a university. It is impossible to say reliably what the passing score will be before enrollment. You can evaluate your chances only by analyzing the list of all applicants entering your specialty. The SFU passing score from the previous year will also help you get your bearings.
You should know that only those applicants who provide the original education document on time are enrolled in the chosen specialty. That is, do not despair if you are slightly lower on the list in terms of scores: some people appearing on the competitive list will choose another specialty or university, so you will automatically get closer to the desired result.
The admissions committee advises applying immediately to the chosen specialty for budgetary and paid education (no money is required at this stage). By law, you can choose three directions at one university (while applying to five different universities), in accordance with the exams passed.
On August 5th, check the lists of all those enrolled on a budget basis. If you are on the list, then this is great, you need to rejoice and pick up your application for paid education at SFU, if not, then pay for it.
Then there was a painful hope that we, who had not passed the exams in these subjects, would finally be eliminated, but our dean’s office delayed the expulsion of debtors almost until the last year. In our group from the very beginning there was a boy programmer who, on a dare, wrote a program on a computer, trying to write it faster than the teacher, there was a girl who knew chemistry very well and there was a smart student who was passionate about electronics. Gradually, their vision and hope of getting a good education, which our university once provided, faded away. The words of S******o R.A. are etched in my memory, who, having seen my notes in mathematics, said: “How the physics department was omitted, this never happened before, how was it omitted...”
It’s good when there are smart, enthusiastic students in the group, in secret we even competed with each other, and the lagging students tried to be equal to the enthusiastic students, while the teachers, looking at us, were sure that the students needed knowledge, because they also sometimes had an extinguished sight.
You know, no matter who you work, even if you do not work in your specialty or work in a non-prestigious job, know that as long as you are passionate about something, you are alive and you are living, but when the sparkle in your eyes goes out, it means you are no longer you live like that with the physics department!
