OUR UNIVERSITY
I study at Ivanovo State Power University (ISPU) which is located in Ivanovo at 34 Rabfakovskaya Street. I entered the university in 2015 and plan to graduate from it in 2017 with the qualification of Bachelor of Engineering and Technology.
ISPU was founded on the basis of Mechanical Engineering Faculty of Ivanovo-Voznesensk Polytechnic Institute. Now ISPU is a big educational institution with more than 9 thousand students and 9 faculties. It also carries out a big amount of work in its research centres that produce innovative products.
The main faculties at ISPU are: the Thermal Power Faculty, the Electrical Power Faculty, the Electromechanical Faculty, the Informatics and Computer Technology Faculty, the Physical Engineering Faculty, the Economics and Management Faculty. There are day-time and correspondence departments that provide training for Bachelors and Masters degree. The complete course for Bachelors degree lasts four years. If you want to get Masters degree, you have to study for two more years. If you want to study further, you can take a postgraduate course to get Candidate degree.
I am doing a course on Electrical Engineering with specialization in Power systems and grids.
The curriculum includes humanities, sciences and technical subjects. We attend classes in History, the Russian and English languages, mathematics, physics, drawing geometry, theoretical mechanics, theoretical foundations of electrical engineering, material studies and others. Every term we take three or four exams. If we pass the exams with good or excellent marks, the state pays us scholarships.
The university provides us with all the necessary facilities. We have computer classes, technical laboratories and simulators. The university has its own stadium and a gym. The university library is the best in the city. There is a student theatre, music and dance clubs and student TV. Those who come from other cities can live in four university hostels.
On the whole, I like my university but it is hard to study here.
