Our UniversityKaraganda State Technical University is one of the leading technical higher schools in Kazakhstan. It is quite large but not very old. It was founded in 1953 as a Mining institute. Yunus Nurmukhamedov, an assistant professor of the Moscow Mining Institute, became its first rector. First there were only 2 specialties at the Institute: mining mineral deposits and mining electromechanical engineering. The students body amounted to 209 and the teaching staff was 26. In 1955 the Institute was headed by Abylkas Saginov, a young scientist, a Master of technical sciences. The development of industry in Central Kazakhstan demanded more highly qualified specialists. A. Saginov greatly contributed to the development of the Mining Institute. There appeared 26 new specialties. And in 1958 the Mining Institute was reorganized into a Polytechnic one. Serious attention was paid to training the personnel and the most talented students were sent to central higher educational establishments of the USSR. As a result some scientific schools appeared at the Institute. In 1969 the Institute was the first in Kazakhstan to begin training specialists in creating software products. For the success achieved in training specialists for our national economy the Institute was awarded an Order of Labour Red Banner in 1976. A.Saginov headed the Institute more than thirty years. He became an academician, a Hero of Socialist Labour. In 1994 G.G.Piven, a professor, a Doctor of technical sciences, an academician, was appointed rector of the Institute. A program of developing the Institute was created, and soon the Institute turned into a center of education and science. There appeared a technical lyceum for schoolchildren with educational requirements of first seven years of schooling, a boarding-school “Murager” for talented children, a college of information technologies and business to train specialists having a secondary vocational education, a faculty of shortened period of study for college-leavers, a faculty of urgently required professions for getting a second higher education.  Karaganda State Technical University In 1996 the Polytechnic Institute got a new status and was renamed into Karaganda State Technical University. Nowadays the University has 12 faculties. It trains specialists in more than 50 specialties. It has post-graduate courses in 14 specialties. More than 10,000 students, are currently enrolled, mostly full time students. There are about 700 teachers among which are 50 doctors of sciences, professors, 42 academicians and corresponding members. It has the largest scientific technical library containing more than 1.6 mln. volumes of educational, scientific, reference, and fiction books by home and foreign authors. It has wide connections with information centers of the country. KarSTU is a school for displaying creative abilities of young people. There are students’ scientific societies, debate sections, a club of merry and ingenious people (KVN), amateur groups, students’ building groups, etc. The University has a powerful sports complex including 5 sports grounds, 7 specialized sports halls for going in for popular kinds of sport. Regional and republic matches in 15 kinds of sport are held here. The University has a fine sports-health base “Polytechnic” in Karkaralinsk. Every year more than 1,000 students and teachers have a good rest there. The students have the practical work in geology and geodesy there as well. Now there are about 1,400 computers in the University united in the local network. The University has its own channel in the Internet, its own site, a laboratory of sputnik digital television. It has a center of distance education. All these are at the disposal of both the teachers and the students of the University. The University keeps in close touch with higher educational institutions, scientific centers and industrial enterprises of Kazakhstan, other republics of the CIS and foreign countries to improve the teaching process and to meet the up-to-date requirements of production. In 2004 the University was the first among the higher educational establishments of Kazakhstan to get an international certificate for developing a quality management system.

READ FOR YOURSELF O  xbridgeThe University of Oxford (informally Oxford University, or simply Oxford), located in the City of Oxford, Oxfordshire, Great Britain, is the oldest University in the English-speaking world. It is also regarded as one of the world's leading academic institutions and best University in the UK. The name is sometimes abbreviated as Oxon. The University has 38 independent colleges. The University traces its roots back to at least 1167, although the exact date of foundation remains unclear, and there is evidence of teaching there as far back as the 10th century. After a dispute between students and townsfolk broke out in 1209, some of the academics at Oxford fled north-east to the town of Cambridge, where the University of Cambridge was founded. The two universities (collectively known as "Oxbridge") have since had a long history of competition with each other. Undergraduate teaching is centred upon the tutorial, where 1-4 students spend an hour with an academic discussing their week’s work, usually an essay (arts) or problem sheet (sciences). Students usually have around two tutorials a week, and can be taught by academics at any other college - not just their own - as expertise and personnel requires. These tutorials are complemented by lectures, classes and seminars, which are organised on a departmental basis. Graduate students undertaking taught degrees are usually instructed through classes and seminars, though naturally there is more focus upon individual research. The academic year is divided into three terms, determined by Regulations. Michaealmas Term lasts from October to December; Hilary Term from January to March; and Trinity Term from April to June. Within these terms, Council determines for each year eight-week periods called Full Terms, during which undergraduate teaching takes place. These terms are shorter than those of many other British universities. Undergraduates are also expected to prepare heavily in the three vacations (known as the Christmas, Easter and Long Vacations).  Some of the college and University buildings in Central Oxford The University of Cambridge (often Cambridge University), located in Cambridge, England, is the fourth oldest University in the world. The University grew out of an association of scholars in the city of Cambridge that was formed, early records suggest, in 1209 by scholars leaving Oxford after a dispute with local townsfolk there. The universities of Oxford and Cambridge are often jointly referred to as "Oxbridge". In addition to cultural and practical associations as a historic part of British society, the two universities also have a long history of rivalry with each other. Academically, Cambridge is consistently ranked in the world's top 5 universities. It has produced 83 Nobel Laureates to date, more than any other University in the world according to some counts. The principal method of teaching at Cambridge colleges is the supervision. These are typically weekly hour-long sessions in which small groups of students—usually between one and three—meet with a member of the University's teaching staff or a doctoral student. Students are normally required to complete an essay or assignment in advance of the supervision, which they will discuss with the supervisor during the session, along with any concerns or difficulties they have had with the material presented in that week's lectures. Lectures at Cambridge are often described as being almost a mere 'bolt-on' to these supervisions. Students typically receive two or three supervisions per week. This pedagogical system is often cited as being unique to Cambridge and Oxford (where “supervisions” are known as “tutorials”). The concept of grading students' work quantitatively was developed by a tutor named William Farish at the University of Cambridge in 1792.  Great Court of King's College STUDENT’S LIFE I.

Read and translate the text: Student’s Life Hi again... My name is Natalie Ivanova. As you already know, I am a first-year student at the Faculty of … of Karaganda State Technical University. I passed my entrance exams with good marks and entered the University. I’ve got to work hard to make good progress. But I’m not very lucky because my family is not very rich, so to cover some of the expenses for studying at the University I`ve got to work part-time. I work in a café on my weekends and do my job properly. My parents live in Pavlodar and I study in Karaganda so I need some housing. There are two opportunities for me: I can live in a dormitory (a students’ hostel), or rent a flat (an apartment). I decided to rent a room. To make the rent smaller, I also decided to share my room with another girl — Zhanar Omarova. She studies at the University, too, and she is my best friend now. I never quarrel with Zhanar. But if there is some misunderstanding between us, we try to make peace as soon as possible. We help each other and share our knowledge, thoughts and feelings. Now, let me describe my usual working day. My classes begin at 9:00. So on week-days I have to get up at 7:30. I’m not an early riser, that`s why it`s very difficult for me to get out of bed, especially in winter. I don’t have an alarm clock and usually my room-mate wakes me up and my working day begins. I turn on the radio and do my morning exercises while Zhanar takes a shower. I don’t take a bath in the morning because I don’t have enough time for it. I take a cool shower (that’s when I completely wake up), brush my teeth. After that I go back to our room and get dressed. I brush my hair and put on a light make-up. Then we have breakfast. Zhanar makes breakfast every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I have to serve breakfast on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. I love to listen to the latest news on the radio while I am eating and Zhanar prefers light music. We leave the house around eight twenty and walk to the nearest bus stop. We live rather close to the University and it usually takes us about ten-fifteen minutes to get there by bus. Sometimes when the weather is fine and we have enough time we walk to the University. It is very healthy to walk much. We are always in time for our classes. Our classes begin at 9:00 in the morning and they end at 5:00 p.m. We have lectures in different subjects: maths, chemistry, physics and others. We also study English, and I am good at the English language. As a rule, we have three or four classes a day. Sometimes it is very hard to wait till they end. Usually I don’t miss my classes because I want to pass my exams successfully and become a good specialist. But sometimes I do, especially when the weather is fine and the classes are boring. At twelve o‘clock we have a big break. It lasts twenty minutes. That‘s my favourite time. That is the time to share the latest news and to gossip. My friends and I prefer not to go to the canteen and we often have lunch in a small cafe not too far from the University. At twelve fifteen we have to be back to our classes. During the working day we also have several short breaks that last fifteen minutes. Occasionally I have to stay at the University till 5 or even 6 o‘clock in the evening because I go to the library to get ready for my practical classes or to write a report. As a rule, I have no free time on week days. I spend a lot of time doing my home assignment. So by the end of the week I get very tired. When we come home in the evening, we have supper together and share the news. After supper we wash dishes, drink coffee or tea and watch TV. I prefer old comedies and Zhanar likes soap-operas or films about travelling. Sometimes Zhanar and I go for a walk in the park or visit our friends. At about eleven at night I go to bed. I like to read something before going to bed and Zhanar likes to listen to some music. By the way, sometimes I fall asleep while reading and Zhanar gets up and switches off the light. |
