        There are some types of Higher Educational Schools in our country –
Institutes, Universities and Academies.
        The usual faculties at Universities are: Physics and Mathematics,
Philology (language and literature), History, Biology and Chemistry.
        The second group of Higher Schools includes Engineering, Agricultural,
Medical, Educational, Economic and other Institutes.
        School-leavers become students after passing entrance examinations. All
candidates must pass an examination in Russian and literature and two more
exams depending on1 the type of higher school.
        The academic year has two terms. During the terms students spend much
time working: it is necessary to attend lectures and seminars, carry out
laboratory tests, work hard in libraries, at home. Examinations take place at the
end of each term.
        The curriculum2 of the specialized higher institutions may be divided into
three parts: the Humanities, General education and Specialized subjects. The
subjects of the first two groups give a solid basis of general education to future
specialists, specialized subjects help students develop the necessary practical
skills3. Specialization usually begins in the third course.
        After graduating from higher schools young specialists may work in
various spheres of industry and science.
