LESSON 8
[see: §39, 40 of Grammar reference for details]
Our University
Every year thousands of young men and women enter
universities, where students get their higher education in various
subjects. Besides day departments there are extra-mural depart-
ments
*
for part-time students who work during the day.
If the applicants want to have a good command of the subject
in which they will take examinations, they attend preliminary
courses.
Our country re-
quires
*
more and
more
specialists
with a higher edu-
cation. In Azer-
baijan
the
complete course at
most universities
lasts four years
*
.
The applicants
go in for entrance examinations in July and August before the
new academic year begins. Education is free of charge and most
of the students receive stipends.
The first two years of study are generally the most difficult. At
the universities students have lectures and practical hours. They
attend lectures on different subjects: Mathematics, History of
Azerbaijan, Physics, Chemistry, Geodesy, Foreign languages and
etc. They have hours of practical training in the well-equipped
82
laboratories of the university.
At every university there is a reading hall and a library, where
the students can take the necessary text-books as well as
*
books
for reading.
Sport is also compulsory during the first years of study.
The academic year is divided into two terms: from September
to January and from February to July.
Students take examinations at the end of each term. On
completion of studies the student presents a graduation thesis
*
or
takes the finals
*
.
Among the students body
*
of any institution of higher learning
one can see quite a number of foreign students. After graduations
they will return home full-fledged specialists.
