                     Altai State Technological University
      The Altai State Technological University (ASTU) is one of the largest
higher institutions of our country. It is also the leading educational,
scientific center of the Altai region.
      Our university was founded in February 1942 on the basis of the
Zаporozhye Engineering Institute. It consisted of 2 faculties: the faculty of
mechanical engineering and the faculty of agricultural engineering with a
student-body of 360 people. In 1959 it became the Altai Polytechnic
Institute. In May 1965 the Institute was named after I.I. Polzunov. In 1992
the Polytechnic Institute was transformed into the University. The student-
body of ASTU is over 11 thousand people. At present Rector of the Altai
Technical University is Vladimir Vasilyevich Jevstigneev, a doctor of
Physics and Mathematics, a professor, an honored scientist, a member of the
International Academy of High school and the International Academy of
Information.
      There are four forms of training in the University: full-time, part-time,
extra-mural and distant. After passing entrance exams successfully, students
are enrolled into the University on the competitive basis. The course of
studies lasts for five years. Part-time and extra-mural students study for six
years. Classes begin in September, they are over in June. Students study in 2
shifts. Student’s work is given a mark on a five point or fifty-point scale.
