Students

Educational Cycle

Training of students at the Pedagogical University lasts from four till six years. Disciplines and elective courses are distributed along the years of training to provide their continuity, to carry out psychological and pedagogical and methodical readiness at the upper courses, and also to react flexibly to students' requirements to new knowledge. The educational year consists of two semesters. Studies at faculties are organized according to the semestrial schedule. Control over the educational activity of students is done during examinations. Upon the end of examinations the appointment to the scholarships is made. At the end of the academic year students who have successfully taken the curriculum are transferred by the Rector's order to the next course. Students have a possibility to take practice - to check up themselves, to realize theoretical knowledge in real business. Average duration of practice for all period of training is 20 weeks. The practice base can be schools, teachers' colleges, boarding schools, preschool centers, museums, galleries, libraries, advertizing agencies, etc. Annually students have teaching practice in children's recreation camps of the Yaroslavl region and Krasnodar territory. Many students of upper courses continue to work and after the practice, reserving a place for the future employment. And what about vacation? The total amount of vacation time for the academic year is not less than 7-10 weeks, including two weeks - in winter.
