trains specialists on the following specialities: geography, biology, chemistry, 
geology. A course of study lasts five years. The academic program is composed of 
such subjects as history, philosophy, computer processing of information, chemistry, 
geology, geodesy, topography, biogeography, foreign languages and others. 
Mastering one of the foreign languages enables us to read foreign literature and learn 
about the latest scientific and technical achievements abroad. 
At our disposal we have lecture halls, well-equipped laboratories, a new 
computer center. A new library will be equipped with modern facilities, and it’ll keep 
1,6 million volumes. 
While studying at the University students are to fulfil course papers and a 
diploma paper (graduation thesis) which is submitted at the end of the fifth year. 
Students take an active part in research expeditions. After graduating from the 
University students can continue their studies at the post-graduate course. The 
graduates of our faculty can work as teachers, engineers, research workers, 
inspectors, managers.
My future speciality is geography. Geography studies the varying character of 
economic, social and cultural life, of the environment and of the surface of the earth. 
Geography includes studies of the spatial organization of human activities, the 
environmental processes that shape the world’s landscapes and the ways in which 
environment and society interact. It provides unique insights into the character of our 
world and its problems, examines how to manage the earth’s resources and fragile 
environment. It teaches valuable skills, including the use of computers, cartography 
and geographical information systems, as well as the collection, analysis and 
presentation of data.
Geography as a university subject (discipline) is an exciting blend of the 
physical sciences, environmental studies, the humanities and the social sciences. 
Understanding and research help us to avoid potential problems or to improve our 
surroundings. 
Geography introduces students to the characteristics, peoples, economics, 
cultures and problems of many different regions of the world. The best reason for 
choosing geography is the desire to understand the world around us in all its 
complexity!
