general information

Since 1994, having upgraded its status to a pedagogical university, our university has successfully provided pre-university, higher professional and post-graduate education. A flexible system for selecting and training applicants who are professionally oriented towards the teaching profession has emerged. This was facilitated by various types of educational institutions: gymnasiums and lyceums with in-depth study of a number of subjects, a pedagogical college, a faculty for future teachers and a preparatory department. KSPU became one of the first universities in Russia to develop and implement packages of educational and methodological documentation for innovative types of educational institutions. During the 90s, the university's graduate school expanded from 5 (in which 22 people studied) to 24 specialties (205 graduate students). At the end of the 90s. the university had the right to conduct general educational activities in twenty-six specialties.

The university-wide newspaper “Alma Mater - Bulletin of KSU” is registered in the Central Russian Interregional Territorial Administration of the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Press and Mass Communications. Certificate. Series PI No. 8-1558. Issued December 2, 2003.

The magazine is published six times a year with a total circulation of up to 1,500 copies. The editorial staff consists of over 20 employees from 7 university faculties. Up to three thematic issues of the newspaper are published monthly, including the popular “Professional” (let’s find a job together!), “University History” (find out the history of your university!), “Freshman’s Memo” (know and be able to!), “Help the applicant” (we apply together!). The total circulation of thematic issues for the academic year is over 30 thousand copies.

The magazine "Alma Mater - Bulletin of KSU" and its employees are numerous holders of student and professional titles and awards: Grand Prix and laureates of the regional and Russian Student Spring; laureates of the FESTOS festival; awards from the Union of Journalists of Russia and the all-Russian organization of media workers “MEDIASOYUZ”. The magazine is also a member of the Union of Corporate Media of Russia.

"AM" has become a launching pad for many young journalists starting to work or already working in the city media. There is practically not a single print or television media outlet in the city that does not include our former employees. Students who completed the AM school also joined the ranks of the federal media: Rossiyskaya Gazeta, RIA Novosti, Komsomolskaya Pravda, Arguments and Facts, Novaya Gazeta, MIG Interfax, TV channel Rossiya-1 .

Professionalism, competence, the ability to make correct and effective decisions, entrepreneurship - these are the qualities that a young specialist should have. All of them are developed during the training process at KSU Kursk. This is a fairly large university. More than 17 thousand students study there.

The beginning of the way

The existing classical university began educational activities in the last century - in the 30s. Initially it was a pedagogical institute. In the city it was formed on the basis of a technical school that trains teachers.

In the first year, the institute enrolled 200 people. Students studied full-time at the faculties of Russian language and literature and history. 3 years after the opening of the university, a correspondence course appeared, and a few years later new structural divisions began to form. During the war years, the Faculty of Geography was opened for students, in the post-war years - the Faculty of Foreign Languages ​​and the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics.

New status

The Kursk Pedagogical Institute developed until the early 90s of the last century. Over several decades of existence, the number of faculties, departments, and specialties has increased, and a highly qualified teaching staff has been formed. The number of students in a higher educational institution began to be counted not in hundreds, but in thousands.

All the achievements of the university led to a change in status. The institute became a university. The profile has not changed. The university remained a pedagogical university. However, later the educational institution began to train not only teachers and lecturers. The list of specializations now includes specialties that are not classified as pedagogical. As a result, in 2003 the university became a classical university.

Modern period in the history of the educational institution

More than 80 years. A long period of existence is the past that has shaped the educational institution and its advantages. Today the university is a modern educational center. It offers popular and most relevant specialties, has modern equipment that allows for better quality training and makes the process interesting for students.

Also a state university is:

1. A powerful research center. The university has created an effective innovation infrastructure. It includes research institutes and laboratories in the priority scientific areas of the university.
2. Center for International Cooperation. From time to time, the university enters into contracts and agreements with scientific institutions and higher education institutions in the CIS countries, Europe, Asia and the USA. The contacts established allow for the exchange of teachers and students, and joint research work.

Meeting the teaching staff

At Kursk State University, the quality of education is quite high. And this is not surprising, because the university has a highly qualified teaching staff. The teaching staff is about 500 people. Of these, more than 70 people are doctors of science, over 300 people are candidates of science.

External part-time teachers also participate in the educational process. They are also highly qualified specialists:

• about 12% of the total number of external part-time teachers have a doctorate degree;
• about 64% of teachers are candidates of science.

In the future, the teaching staff will not change for the worse, and this is confirmed by the university’s personnel policy. The university strives to preserve, strengthen and develop human resources. KSU hires those individuals who have the appropriate education and experience to ensure a high level of training for young specialists.

Faculties of KSU Kursk

There are 17 structural divisions involved in educating students at the university. They are the following faculties:

• historical;

It was opened in 1998 to implement additional educational programs, vocational training programs for white-collar positions and blue-collar professions.

Additionally, the Faculty of Current Studies provides training for children and adults in general developmental programs related to the study of foreign languages ​​and health promotion. One example program is “Athletic Gymnastics”.

University departments

Each faculty at KSU consists of smaller structural divisions. They are called departments. Their task is to train students within a specific specialization. For example, the Faculty of Natural Geography of KSU consists of the departments of general biology and ecology, socio-cultural services and tourism, chemistry, social and economic geography, physical geography and geoecology.

At the departments of KSU Kursk, teachers carefully consider the content of the educational process. An important role is given to innovative technologies and modern teaching methods - interactive lectures, business and role-playing games, brainstorming sessions, online seminars, and group discussions.
