It is not knowledge that makes us noble, but love and the desire for science and truth, which arise when a person begins to receive knowledge.

Many applicants are well versed in the names of faculties, they know the specifics and direction of work of the university and faculty they have chosen, but they have absolutely no idea about the structure of the educational institution. What is the difference between the work of the rector and the work of the dean, what is the faculty and how does it differ from the department, what are the main and most important structural units at the university, we will consider in this article.

Higher education institutions differ from each other, but the structure of the university is always the same. Higher educational institution not only provides a higher specialized education, but also implies the implementation scientific activity. Universities can be state and commercial. Each of them must have a Charter that regulates the activities of the educational institution.

University structure

Management and coordination of the work of the entire university is carried out by the rector. It has assistants, vice-rectors, each of which is responsible for a separate area of ​​work and functioning of the educational institution. Also, each university has a special unit called the Academic Council. It is headed by the rector. He is the chairman of the council. The composition of the Academic Council is approved annually.

Faculty

One of the main structural and administrative units of the university. Faculties in each higher education institution can be different amount. They differ from each other in the specifics of profile subjects. At each faculty, students are given the opportunity to:

Prepare for one or several very close to each other specialties;

The opportunity to improve the level of knowledge and professional qualifications;

To take part in the research activities of the departments that are part of the faculty.

Each faculty at the university unites several departments and coordinates their work in the following areas:

Scientific - the study of various disciplines;

Research - practical study of any material;

Educational - teaching disciplines and subjects to students;

Educational - education of students of various qualities through training.

Chair

Being a structural unit of the faculty, the department is responsible for teaching individual subjects, organizing educational work, organization of various types of practices, increasing the level of knowledge of teaching staff. It is a scientific research unit of the faculty.

The head of the department is one of the members of its professorial staff;

Each department should have its own research laboratories with all the necessary equipment;

For more successful and systematic work, meetings of the department are held periodically.

The department also carries out scientific activities within the framework of its specialization. Each faculty may have several different departments.

The faculty generalizes and coordinates the work of all departments with the help of the scientific council of the faculty, headed by the dean. They differ from each other in the specifics of core subjects, for example, economics, information systems

Deanery

The dean's office is an association of the dean, his deputies and methodologists responsible for different areas of work. Each faculty has its own dean's office. How many people and who exactly will be included in its composition is decided by the rector of the university.

The main tasks of the dean's office:

Collaboration with the admissions committee;

Development and control of educational and educational processes at the faculty;

Timely delivery of all necessary information to students;

Monitoring the progress of students;

Maintaining all necessary documents and others.

In addition, students can contact the dean's office with any question regarding the educational process, obtaining the necessary certificates and various others, which arise a lot, especially in the first year.

In order not to overload the dean's office with work, a curator is allocated for each group. This is a person from among the teachers who helps students to adapt, acquaints them with the rules of the educational institution, provides assistance as far as possible in any issues that arise, monitors the attendance and progress of students, and involves them in socially significant events held at the educational institution.

Thus, higher educational institutions have their own structure and organization, which has been perfected over the years, and is the most acceptable and convenient for all participants in the educational process. Each person occupies a special place in it and performs the functions assigned to him to achieve the most important and significant development goals facing all employees and students of the university.

All of us, to one degree or another, have come across student life, otherwise we would not have been interested in this magazine. modern student. Let us recall the words of the classic: “We all learned a little, something and somehow”, but in fact we studied our specialty at the department at the university.

If we recall the departments of the university, we can safely say that the department is a separate realm dedicated to one specialty and providing deep knowledge in it. For those who do not quite understand what is at stake, it is worth explaining more clearly what a department at a university is.

Department and its role in the structure of the university

Let's start from afar, the faculty is a structural unit of the university, which combines several similar specialties at once. For example, in my university there was a machine-building, electrical engineering, transport, engineering and physics, law and philology departments.

Respectively, any faculty unites several departments. Here it is worth deciding what kind of structural unit it is, and what are its main characteristics?

So, department is a scientific and educational unit, which is part of the faculty, which provides and guarantees in-depth study one specialty.

For example, in my university, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering had several departments at once, including the electric drive and automation systems, electric cars, electrical apparatus, power supply of installations and others.

It would seem that everyone is united by the common term "electricity", but in this case, as a specialist, I can safely say that we are talking about completely dissimilar specialties and narrow specialists various areas labor activity.

Such a division is very important, because upon graduation, a really trained graduate, and not a “polyglot with a higher education crust,” comes to production. Although in our time there are plenty of mediocre university graduates (not only technical ones).

Features of the department at the university

The department, as a structural unit of the faculty, is responsible not only for pedagogical activity in their specialty, but also for conducting compulsory work experience, educational work, advanced training of personnel and training of worthy young specialists.

To be more precise, the department is the research link of the faculty, since here you can prepare not only term papers and theses, but also defend a dissertation as a graduate student, a doctoral dissertation as an associate professor.

Accordingly, the conclusion suggests itself: the department means big plans and prospects not only for students, but also for their teachers, who can also fulfill themselves and significantly move up the career ladder.

Of course, all this happens under the vigilant supervision of the employees of the dean's office and, in particular, the dean, but the possibilities at the department are also unlimited.

The teaching staff of the department

As mentioned earlier, the pulpit is a small kingdom, which necessarily has its own "government". In fact, this is loudly said, but the hierarchical ladder is still present, but looks something like this:

1. The chief, who is also the leader, is the head of the department, who is elected by voting of the entire teaching staff for a period of five years (almost like a president).

2. Under his leadership is the entire teaching staff, including doctors of sciences, associate professors, laboratory assistants, teachers and even professors.

So it is obvious that decisions are made jointly, but the final word always remains with the head of the department. By the way, no one will be hired for this position, and the applicant must have five years of work experience at the university, a good reputation, authority among colleagues and students, and, if possible, the academic title of professor, doctor of science, or at least associate professor.

This position is a great responsibility, and not just honor and an increase in wages. The head of the department before the dean's office represents the interests of not only his colleagues, but also students of his specialty.

That is why it is best to start solving any problems in studies with a visit to the head of the department, and there it is not in his interests to distinguish himself by the next expulsion of a student.

In fact, the head of the department is a teacher who also conducts lectures, practical and laboratory work, seminars and open lessons. But, as a rule, he does this much less frequently, since there are always enough organizational and scientific concerns in the department.

As for the teaching staff of the department, all teachers also give lectures, organize industrial practice and perform with students practical work. In addition, they are responsible for intermediate certifications, exams, tests, and in general - for sessions. Well, the graduation project is generally a separate topic, to which the department also pays special attention.

In general, we can say that the department is responsible for the study of university students, which competently draws up a schedule of lectures and prevents all overlays, problems and inconsistencies.

If the work of the entire teaching staff of the department is adjusted and brought to automatism, then students do not have organizational problems for five years of study in their specialty.

What is in the department?

A department at a university is a complex subdivision that can and even should have:

Research laboratories;

Numerous branches (not only within the walls of the university);

Production sites for testing;

Library (not always);

Educational units;

Possibility of additional higher education close specialty (for example, electrician - electromechanic).

That is why we can say that all conditions have been created for the student so that he masters his specialty with knowledge of the matter and becomes a real graduate.

Coordination of educational and scientific activities is organized at the scheduled meetings of the department, where they should without fail attend those teachers who advise students when writing term papers and graduation projects.

Their presence makes it possible to assess the real abilities of future students, even if this opinion is subjective.

The competence of this scientific and pedagogical unit includes the solution of any issues regarding course retraining, advanced training, postgraduate education and retraining of personnel.

The military department is a separate issue

Most universities of the fourth degree of accreditation necessarily have a military department, on the example of which one can consider in detail the work of this entire unit. So, at the military department, high-quality training of the junior officers without interrupting the learning process.

Only representatives of the stronger sex are admitted to the military department, and only if they successfully pass the entrance exams. As practice shows recent years, amount free places limited, and the competition grows from year to year.

This is not surprising, because upon graduation, a young specialist or master receives not only a diploma of higher education, but also a military ID with the assigned military rank. Accordingly, honor has been given to the motherland, and nothing else prevents you from successfully getting a job.

In the absence of a military ID and not passing a military department, children of military age upon graduation from the university can be sent to military service and only upon return continue their employment according to the specialty received at the university.

So it only seems that the department is a small kingdom, in fact it is able to decide human destinies - in our case, the fate of students and future graduates.

But we still slightly deviated from the topic, but I would like to talk about the relationship between the student and the department: what are the prospects and “pitfalls” that are important to remember and never forget?

Student and department

In his student life a university student visits the department more often and visits the dean's office of his faculty much less often. This is not surprising, because teachers from the department solve all student problems, answer the questions posed in the most intelligible way, and even sometimes assist in their studies.

The student must understand that the issue within the department can still be resolved, but if the problem has reached the dean's office, then it is not far from expulsion.

That is why you should not leave all the difficulties for tomorrow, especially since the department is able to solve most of them today. So why not take this chance and expose yourself first?

As a rule, a department is a separate large office where several or all teachers of your specialty sit at once. So finding the right teacher is not particularly difficult, just wait for the next change and knock on the cherished door.

The head of the department sits separately, but some students, having studied for five years, have never knocked on his door. And why bother the authorities if there are no problems and questions?

In any case, the student should not take the help of the department with hostility, since people who are not interested in his expulsion work here.

If you ask in a timely manner, then they will definitely extend a helping hand and help solve seemingly grandiose student problems. So all university students can only wish: be friends with the department, and then your chance of successfully graduating from the university will increase rapidly.

Conclusion: If you have any thoughts about your department, I will gladly listen to them! I hope now there will be no more confusion in such important student terms as department and faculty.

Now you know about what is a university department.

According to Art. 10 FZ "On higher and postgraduate vocational education» the university is created and reorganized by the founder in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation. AT state universities the founders are the government of the Russian Federation or the executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

Higher education is one of the necessary components for the development of a civilized democratic society.

The centralized multi-level education system in Russia was created in the 19th century, and its reform and expansion took place in its second half and the beginning of the 20th century, when more than a hundred classical and technical universities, institutions of other profiles (military and pedagogical institutes, etc.).

A higher educational institution is an educational institution established and operating on the basis of the legislation of the Russian Federation on education, having the status of a legal entity and implementing educational programs of higher professional education in accordance with a license.

The main tasks of a higher educational institution are:

Higher educational institutions are independent in the formation of their structure, with the exception of their branches, unless otherwise established. federal laws.

The status and functions of a structural subdivision of a higher education institution are determined by the charter of the higher education institution or in the manner prescribed by it.

At its core, the structure of higher education institutions appeared more than 500 years ago.

The higher educational institution is headed by the rector, his deputies in various areas of work are vice-rectors who solve operational and tactical issues of the university. Strategic issues of the development of the university are usually decided by its Academic Council.

The main divisions of higher educational institutions.

Faculty - an educational, scientific and administrative structural unit of a higher educational institution that trains students and graduate students in one or more related specialties, improves the qualifications of specialists, as well as manages the research activities of the departments that it unites. In universities and academies, individual faculties can function as intra-university institutions.

A department is a subdivision that trains students within a certain specialization. AT Russian universities the department traditionally represents the main cell of educational and scientific activities, as well as the "substrate" of the scientific and pedagogical school at the university in this specialization.

Postgraduate and doctoral studies.

Preparatory department for applicants.

Also, colleges can exist at universities (in this case, upon graduation, a university diploma is also given, but not about higher education, but about secondary vocational education). The structure of a higher educational institution may include libraries, computer centers, pilot production, agricultural land, clinics, research institutes, etc. Many higher educational institutions publish their own newspapers.

At leading higher educational institutions, the HAC organizes dissertation councils for the award of academic degrees.

Structural subdivisions of a higher educational institution may implement educational programs of primary general, basic general, secondary (complete) general, primary vocational and secondary vocational education, as well as educational programs additional education if the higher education institution has the appropriate license.

Branches of higher educational institutions are separate structural subdivisions located outside its location.

Branches of federal state higher educational institutions are created by the founder in agreement with the federal executive body responsible for the development of state policy and legal regulation in the field of education, the relevant executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and local authorities at the location of the branch. Branches of federal state higher educational institutions subordinate to federal executive authorities, in which federal laws provide for military service, are created by the founder in agreement with the federal executive body responsible for the development of state policy and legal regulation in the field of education.

The standard regulation on branches of federal state higher educational institutions and the procedure for their organization are developed and approved by the federal executive body.

The performance indicators of branches of higher educational institutions are taken into account during the state accreditation of such higher educational institutions.

To obtain the right to study at Russian universities, you must have a certificate for an 11-year general education school or a diploma of secondary vocational education. The vast majority of young people are competitive entrance exams, the programs of which are established by the Ministry of Education, taking into account the content of the subjects high school and requirements of higher education to the level of knowledge of applicants. Universities and other institutions of higher learning are fairly autonomous in conducting entrance exams(form, number, introduction of additional disciplines, time, etc.) and in the details of the selection of applicants.

As in secondary education, the academic year in universities begins on September 1, is divided into two semesters (or 3 in separate institutions) and continues until June with short breaks for holidays and between two semesters.

The processing of important disciplines ends with an exam or some type of testing. Grading system: the highest mark is 5 (excellent), 4 (good), 3 (satisfactory), which is enough to enroll the discipline, 2 (unsatisfactory), which does not allow continuing education. Less significant disciplines can be evaluated on a two-point scale: "pass" (the teacher believes that the student has generally met the requirements) and "fail" (the student's work is unsatisfactory, the subject must be repeated or studied independently).

There are public and private universities. The university may have branches and representative offices in other localities.

Each higher educational institution has a charter and is an autonomous subject of legal relations. The university must have a license that gives the right to educational activities. In order to have the right to issue state diplomas to university graduates, the university must be accredited (accreditation is given to the university, as a rule, after attestation). Education at a university, as a rule, lasts from 4 to 6 years and can be full-time (full-time), evening (part-time) and part-time. The most common forms of education are classroom and distance learning. Conventionally, universities are divided into humanitarian and technical.

The general management of the university is carried out by the Academic Council of the University - an elected representative body.

According to the position, the Academic Council includes the rector, who is its chairman, vice-rectors and deans of faculties.

Academic Council of the University:

- defines the rules of its work;

- reviews and approves strategic plan university development;
