Now let’s talk about what the university can offer its students.
UNIVERSITY YESTERDAY
The need to create a technical educational institution in the Volga region was first discussed in the mid-90s of the 19th century. Then the Minister of Agriculture Alexander Ermolaev turned to the Samara governor with a proposal to discuss the possibility of opening a polytechnic institute in the city. But only in July 1914, the bill on the establishment of a polytechnic institute in Samara was approved by the State Duma and the State Council, and Emperor Nicholas II approved the law. The basis and one of the arguments in favor of the decision taken is the convenient geographical location of Samara. The city is located in the center of the Volga region, at the junction of the Great Siberian Railway and the Tashkent Railway. Pavel Mitrofanov, a professor at the University of Warsaw, was appointed the first rector, and in 1915 the first students came to the institute building. A year later, two new faculties appeared - chemical and mechanical. However, the Samara Polytechnic Institute never managed to graduate its first students: the revolution began, then the civil war, and the period of restoration. In the mid-20s, the new government realized that not only the working class was needed, but also engineering personnel. Highly qualified specialists were needed to work at the enterprises, therefore, by order of the Council of People's Commissars, the Middle Volga Industrial Institute was reopened in 1933.
UNIVERSITY TODAY
The university trains engineers in a wide variety of fields for almost all industries. Along with traditional specialties, new ones are opening. The university now graduates engineers for the operation of pipelines, specialists for the pharmaceutical and food industries, and specialists in emergency protection. The emergence of new specialties was a reaction to the requirements dictated by the labor market. For example, at the Faculty of Engineering and Technology, in the Department of Solid Chemicals, a new specialization was opened: “Protection in emergency situations.” A new direction has emerged: “Production of food products from plant materials.” Within its framework, the Faculty of Food Production was opened in 2003.
The development of market relations and the revision of forms of ownership have created the need
the emergence of new engineering and economic specialties, such as “National Economics”, “Organization of Production Management”, “Technology and Management of Production and Business”. Narrowly focused, so-called “service” specializations have appeared: “Repair, installation and operation of machine tools and machine-tool complexes”, “Service and technical operation of transport and technological machines and equipment”, “Technology for repair and restoration of parts and components of automobiles” and others.
With the release of a new generation of domestic and foreign cars, saturated with microprocessor technology, on-board electronics, complex automation and electrical equipment systems, the opening of a new specialty “Electrical equipment of cars and tractors” and a separate specialization “Automotive Electronics” is associated.
No less relevant is the new specialty of the Faculty of Automation: “Organization and technical protection of information.” The list was supplemented by such unusual specializations for a technical university as “Technology of artistic processing of materials”, “Computer design and engineering”. The university develops international cooperation, has agreements with universities in the UK and France, and participates in a number of international educational development programs.
UNIVERSITY OF TOMORROW
At the beginning of 1994, the Research Institute of Conversion and High Technologies (Research Institute of Conversion and High Technologies) was created at Samara State Technical University. The main wealth of the institute is its highly qualified research and teaching staff, which has enormous potential for conducting fundamental research on the creation of new high-tech technologies and training new specialties for engineering and technical workers in convertible industries. The Institute solves the most important problems of targeted recycling of ammunition elements, military equipment, processing of military gunpowder into consumer goods, elimination of emergencies on gas and oil pipelines, normalization of the environmental situation in the Samara Territory, etc. The research institute's specialists have a huge number of developments to their credit, including those carried out at the level of inventions.

Admission to budget places
At a technical university, in some areas you can study not only on a commercial basis, but also for free. In this regard, many applicants are interested in a passing score on a budget. Unfortunately, admissions officers never give the exact figure, because it depends on the number of allocated places for free education, the number of submitted applications and packages of documents, and the results of entrance examinations of applicants.
One thing can be said with confidence - the likelihood of admission to budget places is high for those people who have scored a decent number of points. It is worth noting that Samara Technical State University allows applicants to make the most of their chances for free education. Applicants can apply to 3 selected areas at once.
Commercial training
Samara State Technical University (Samara) offers its applicants a huge number of areas of training, where training is carried out on a paid basis (commercial form). The cost is approved annually by order of the educational institution. It is recommended to clarify it (for the selected areas of training) with the admissions committee.
The cost differs for different specialties. For example, in the field of “Computer Engineering and Informatics” (Faculty of Information Technology and Automation) it was 42,100 rubles per semester (for first-year students admitted in 2016). The cost was significantly lower in the “Service” direction (Faculty of Humanitarian Education) - 37,100 rubles.
Transfer to budget
Students studying on a paid basis may have the opportunity to switch from a commercial form to a budget one. This happens when free free places become available. Persons applying for such a transition are subject to certain requirements. Firstly, at the time of submitting the application, students should not have debts on tuition fees or unsatisfactory results of intermediate certification in subjects. Secondly, any of the following conditions must be present:
- loss of one or both parents (legal representatives) during university studies;
- exam grades (for the previous 2 semesters) are only “4”, “5” (that is, without “3”);
- students belong to orphans and children without parental care;
- students are those citizens (under 20 years of age) who have one disabled parent of group I; At the same time, the income per person in a family is less than the subsistence level.
To switch to the free place that appears, you must submit an appropriate application. The state technical university allocates a certain period for this process. Then a commission meeting is scheduled for a specific day. It reviews all applications and makes appropriate decisions (on the transition of a particular student from paid to free education or on refusal).
