Adapters are always ready to help
On August 30, the University held a Freshman Day: our new students gathered to hear good wishes and get the necessary information. They were given student cards.
Deans, deputy deans, and employees of the university's structural divisions addressed the first-year students. Outstanding graduates and representatives of partner companies were guests of the celebration.
Vladimir Sharmanov, Head of the Product and Methodology Department of the Innovation Directorate of Etalon Group, congratulated first-year students of the construction faculty on the beginning of a new stage in their lives. “Today, construction is a synthesis of innovations, digital technologies and sustainable development. You will not just erect buildings – you will be able to design smart cities, implement TIM technologies, use eco-friendly materials and change the world for the better. Within the walls of the university, you will not only receive fundamental knowledge, but also modern educational approaches with the study of robotics, the use of VR simulators and other digital technologies. Believe in yourself, do not be afraid to experiment and remember: your ideas will definitely become reality. We wish you bright projects, bold decisions and confidence in your abilities! Forward to new heights!” he said.
Oleg Fyodorov, Deputy Dean for Career Guidance, spoke to first-year students of the Faculty of Architecture about building a career: “I want you to know from the very first days: your teachers, department heads, dean’s office staff, and university management care about your future. The university and the Faculty of Architecture carry out systematic career guidance work so that you become as successful, as in-demand, and as professional as possible. The work is carried out in three main areas. The first is summer industrial practice, which begins after the fourth year. Students of the Faculty of Architecture of SPbGASU get summer practice in the best architectural studios not only in St. Petersburg, but throughout Russia. The dean’s office also receives requests from Moscow to recommend students for practical training with the prospect of employment. If students from other cities have plans to create in their small homeland, they will definitely be helped.
The second area of career guidance work is competitions. The faculty supports students' desire to participate in architectural and design competitions. This can become a significant component of the portfolio, which should be formed from the very first years of study.
The third area is assistance in employment. Despite the fact that the educational process is very intensive, some manage to start professional creative work already in their senior years. For the rest, after graduation, we are always ready to help with recommendations and selection of vacancies, we even have a separate division – the Center for Student Entrepreneurship and Career."
The topical issue of scholarships was raised by Daria Boytsova, Deputy Dean for Educational Work, Associate Professor of the Department of Architectural Design: “SPbGASU has a whole system of scholarship and material support for students. Now first-year students who study on a budgetary basis will be assigned a state academic scholarship. It will be paid after successful completion of the midterm assessment. There is also an opportunity to receive an increased state academic scholarship – it is assigned to students of the budgetary form of education for achievements in academic, scientific, research, social, cultural, creative and sports activities. Certain categories of citizens can receive a state social scholarship in the usual and increased amount. In addition, there are personal scholarships of the Government of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, the President of the Russian Federation, the Government of the Russian Federation and others.
In September, the application process for the “First-Year Grant” competition will begin. First-year full-time students of all bachelor’s and specialist’s degree programs who are receiving higher education for the first time can participate in it.”
Darya Vladimirovna invited first-year students to participate in grant events and other federal projects, trips, exchange programs with foreign countries; informed about the work of the psychological support service for students and trainings of the Center for Psychological Support for Students, which help to cope with everyday problems.
Anastasia Fedakova, acting chairperson of the student council and winner of the grant competition "Rosmolodezh. Grants", spoke about what SPbGASU students live by. Anastasia is sure that SPbGASU is the best place to study. Student council projects will help you find friends, learn something new, and discover your talents. The main thing is to remember to maintain a balance between your studies and hobbies.
Congratulations to our first-year students on the start of their student life!
