TECHNOLOGICAL INSTITUTE OF SERVICE
The South-Russian State University of Economics and Service was one of the leading state universities in the South Federal District. It was founded in 1969 in the south of Russia to train specialists for the most rapidly developing branches of economy, service, light industry, engineering and small business. The dynamic development of the University resulted in the formation of its branches.
The Stavropol branch of the University is one of the major state higher educational establishments in our city. The history of the Institute goes back to 1999 when a branch of the South-Russian State University of Economics and Service was founded in Stavropol. Our branch rapidly grew and in a short period of time it developed into one of the largest institutions of higher education of the city.
The South-Russian State University of Economics and Service was reorganized in 2013 and our Institute became the branch of the Don State Technical University. DSTU holds a specific place in the educational park of the southern region.
Today the Stavropol Technological Institute of Service is the center of science, culture and education in the South of Russia. The merit of the Institute is that our graduates get the uniform European diploma supplement of the established sample. This supplement to the diploma is a tool of realization of the Bologna process – process of creation of the European Higher Education Area. It guarantees a successful career of the graduates throughout the European space.
At present there are some faculties at the Institute which allow to prepare specialists in widely required fields of humane activity. Students can choose any form of training: there are day and correspondence departments. The course of study usually lasts 4 – 6 years. The academic year is divided into two terms. Students take exams at the end of each semester. If the results of the examinations are good students get grants. Twice a year they have vacations – two weeks in winter and two months in summer. Students attend lectures, have seminars, classes and consultations on different subjects. They combine their studies with extra-curricular occupation and can do any sport and any recreational activity.
There is a large computer centre and a library at the disposal of students. It provides them with textbooks and literature on special subjects. A lot of students carry out research work in comfortable classes, which are equipped with up-to-date computer science and devices.
On the whole more than a half of the teaching staff of the Institute has scientific degrees. Experienced personnel, including Senior Lecturers and Professors work here. The teaching staff participates in regional, All-Russian and international scientific conferences.
Many students of the Institute are also engaged in scientific work. The themes of the students’ research reflect the wide range of their interests. At the end of the course of study the undergraduates are sent to various plants, design offices, banks and companies to get some practical know-how. Moreover our students have an opportunity to work on probation abroad.
Every year a lot of graduates receive diplomas of higher education and start working in different branches of science, economy and production. Some of them enter postgraduate courses to get more specialized study and to defend a thesis on a chosen scientific problem.
