       I am a student of the biological faculty. Our faculty is one of the largest faculties
of the University. We study different subjects: Botany, Anatomy, Microbiology and
many others. Besides these subjects we study some social sciences and English. We
study English to be able to, read scientific books on biology and discuss biological
problems.
       There are many departments in our faculty: of botany, of zoology, of
microbiology, of physiology of man and animals, of physiology of plants, of genetics,
and of soil science. Besides there are research laboratories and 3 museums. Every
student has an opportunity to work in modern, well-equipped laboratories, where
different problems of biology are under investigation.
        Students get acquainted with all branches of biology. They are lectured in
various subjects of natural science, namely botany, zoology, anatomy, microbiology,
biophysics, biochemistry, soil science, and genetics.
       During the first two years they attend lectures on mathematics, physics,
chemistry, some subjects of social sciences and foreign languages. In the third year
more narrow specialization begins. They have several specialized courses and additional
practical and research work in the subject they have chosen as their future speciality.
Besides attending lectures they may join some scientific circles and choose a problem to
work on according to their bents. All of them know that biology is the science of
glorious past and great future. They do their best to acquire as much knowledge as
possible.
       Graduates of the biological faculty are assigned to work at laboratories, schools
and research institutes. Those who have a bent for research work may apply for a
postgraduate course of study.
