Faculty
of Foreign Languages
Students of the Faculty of Foreign Languages
(European languages) are trained in Philology (specialisation
021700),and graduate qualified as teachers of foreign
languages and translators of two foreign languages.
The term of studies is 5 years.
The carriculum of the Faculty of Foreign Languages
is devided into a group of general subjects, a group
of pedagogical subjects and specialized courses. The
aim is to train highly skilled teachers of foreign
languages, who are also well qualified to work as
translators.
The major goal of this comprehensive program is to
give the students a solid moral and cultural background,
develop their worldview and provide them with profound
specialised knowledge. Each subject on the curriculum
contributes to the achievement of this goal.
General subjects - the Russian Language, Philosophy,
History, Literature, Ethics, Aesthetics and Logic
- have a formative impact on one's worldview, dialectical
thought, system of values, speech and behaviour. Psychological
and pedagogical sciences introduce students to the
nature of teaching and learning process, general rules
of education and characteristics of cognitive processes
in different age groups and help develop essential
professional skills and habits.
The curriculum gives prominence to special courses,
which include practical classes in foreign languages
and theoretical courses, since they are central to
teaching foreign languages at a linguistics school.
These courses teach students norms of oral and written
speech in the foreign language they study, give them
theoretical knowledge of the language and train them
to use it both practically and theoretically for teaching
purposes and also for translation and interpreting.
For that reason, foreign languages are allotted more
time in the schedule than any other subject: 18 out
of the total of 28 academic hours a week.
The first and second-year students of the Department
of English take mandatory examinations to obtain certificates
of Cambridge University – IGCSE (Level 1 – English
as a Second Language; Level 2 – First Language English).
Faculty
of Translation and Interpreting
Established in 1997, the Faculty of Translation
and Interpreting (English) trains students in
Linguistics and Cross-cultural Communication (specialization
022600). The aim of the department is to train highly
skilled translators and interpreters, including simultaneous
interpreters, and also to improve skills of practising
translators and interpreters with a degree. Currently
the department admits students with secondary school-level
knowledge of English. The term of study is 5 years.
To enter the faculty one should successfully pass
entrance examinations in Russian and English and an
additional interview.
In their second year, students begin to study a second
foreign language. In addition to general subjects
and social and economic sciences, students are taught
some specialized disciplines, the General Theory of
Translation, the Theory of Simultaneous Interpreting,
Russian-English and English-Russian translation among
them. In their fourth and fifth years, students are
taught fundamentals of interpreting, including sight
translation from and into Russian, two-way and consecutive
interpreting and, finally, simultaneous interpretation.
Graduates of the department are qualified as translators/interpreters
of two foreign languages.
Future translators/interpreters are trained in classrooms
well equipped with video and audio equipment and TV
sets.
Study materials include texts from the Russian and
foreign mass media and also excerpts from fiction.
The renowned theorists of translation , interpreters
and translators teach at the faculty. Many of them
have broad experience of work at the top level, including
simultaneous interpretation services for international
organizations. The first and second-year students
of the Department of English take mandatory examinations
to obtain certificates of
Cambridge University - IGCSE (Level 1 - English
as a Second Language; Level 2 - First Language English).
Faculty
of Languages and Cultures
The Faculty of Languages and Cultures (European
languages) is aimed to train experts with thorough
and comprehensive knowledge of other nations' culture,
religions, social behavior, life style, customs and
traditions, history and literature.
Fundamental to training future teachers of foreign
languages and translators are in-depth studies of
English, German, French, Spanish and Italian. The
teaching staff of the department gives priority to
teaching students oral and written speech, techniques
of linguistic and stylistic analysis of foreign texts,
auditing, the theory of translation and practical
translation and interpreting skills. Additionally
to the usual subjects that provide fundamentals of
the humanities and linguistics, the curriculum of
the department includes such disciplines as Peoples
and Languages, Ethnology, World Religions and History
of Culture, Cultural Sociology, and History of World
Civilizations. These subjects substantially enhance
the students' understanding of the modern foreign
world.
Graduates who have completed the full course of study
are qualified as teachers of foreign languages and
translators with specialization in Philology (021700).
After four years of study, students of the department
can take qualification exams to obtain a bachelor's
degree.
To be admitted to the department, applicants must
pass an examination in a foreign language based on
the secondary school curriculum for this subject and
an interview which helps assess the applicant's level
of knowledge of history, literature and cultural life
in this country and abroad.
Faculty
of Country Studies
The Faculty of Country Studies trains philologists
specializing in the studies of European and American
countries. Our institute was the first Russian higher
education institution to resume, for the first time
in about 50 years, training of philologists specializing
in the studies of European and American countries.
Country Studies provide knowledge of the history,
culture, economics, geography, social problems, law
and governmental structures of the countries as a
system. This background knowledge encompasses issues,
notions, and terminology relevant to each country's
language and national mentality.
Country Studies facilitate the achievement of profound
language proficiency through mastering these issues,
notions and terminology. They also fulfill an important
communicative function helping one adequately understand
native speakers and put across his/her ideas by using
the language means and notions familiar to a foreign
interlocutor. The course introduces students to the
traditions, customs and etiquette of the relevant
nations.
This knowledge enables our graduates to easily find
their bearings in a foreign environment, particularly
when visiting the country whose language they study.
The objective of the course is to provide students
with profound knowledge of the civilization of the
country they study. Profound knowledge in history,
culture, economics, law and politics opens ample career
opportunities to graduates of the department, who
can successfully work as translators/interpreters
or as experts in such areas as business, law, politics
or culture, particularly when their job involves dealing
with foreign partners.
Main stages in the history and culture of the
country: key historical and cultural events,
outstanding personalities, monuments of art and culture,
native speakers' perception of their civilisation,
analysis of unique features of the nation's character,
historical and cultural vocabulary relevant to the
country.
Economic geography of the country whose language
students study: natural conditions and resources,
population (demographic and ethnic aspects), division
into economic zones, specific features of the country's
economic development, basic economic parameters; characteristics
of industry, services and agriculture; leading manufacturing
and trading companies, major banks, foreign trade
ties; economic and geographical vocabulary relevant
to the country.
Social issues: the nation's social
make-up, the position and problems of different strata
of society, social security, health and education
systems; social terminology.
Government and Political system: national
emblems, political system, constitution and government
institutions, legal system, state machinery, local
self-government, political parties and their leaders,
public organisations and movements, religions, mass
media (the press, radio, TV).
Department
of Law
The Faculty of Law (European languages)
trains managers and experts in public relations
for governmental and municipal agencies and public
organizations engaged in public, humanitarian, scientific
and cultural relations. The new specializations
in Central and Municipal Government (061600) and
Public Relations (022000) have been introduced at
the faculty as an extension of its curriculum, giving
the students an opportunity to study legal and economic
disciplines as Marketing, Management, Social Psychology
and some other sciences and also to acquire profound
knowledge of a foreign language.
For five years students of the daytime department
learn special terms and study relevant specialized
literature in English. Since English language proficiency
is one of the aims of training, students can present
their graduation theses in English.
These areas of training are given priority because
of high demand for such specialists in the job market.
A manager of the new type is to:
-

Faculty
of Economics
The Faculty of Economics (European Languages)
trains experts in international economics (specialization
0606000 "World Economics"), conferring degrees in
"Economics, with knowledge of a foreign language".
The goal is to train highly skilled experts in Russian
and international economics who are fluent in foreign
languages.
The demand for such experts is caused by integration
processes current on the world economic scene and
Russia incorporation into the global economic system.
The faculty offers fundamental courses in economics,
and special courses addressing current issues of
Russian and global economics, including International
Economics, Banking, Management, Accounting, Finance
and Credit, Risk Management and Insurance, Tax Law,
etc. Apart from that, the curriculum includes special
courses in economics delivered by qualified economists
in foreign languages.
The students receive five years of foreign language
tuition equivalent to the curriculum of the department
of foreign languages, supplemented by English for
Economics and English for Business. The combination
of economics and advanced language training helps
our graduates adapt to the ever more demanding standards
of the modern job environment. Since 1999 the Faculty
of Economics has been accepting students seeking
a second higher education.
Faculty
of Economics of International Tourism
The modern industry of tourism is one of the major,
profitable and challenging brunch of the international
industry. Tourism provides approximately 200 million
jobs, that is about 8% of the total amount of employment
in the world. According to the World Tourism Organization
and International Monetary Fund tourism gives about
10.8% of the world produce, and up to 30% of the service
market and up to 9.4% of the worldwide interests.
In 1998 the tourism and hospitality as a branch of
economics moved up into first place in the worldwide
export of goods and services.
High rates of growth of this sector of the international
economics, liberalization of the Russian economics,
as well as the future trends of tourism at the national
level have inevitably brought to the adequate need
in the highly-qualified personnel.
The faculty provides training of experts in the economics
of international tourism. The full-time training program,
developed on the basis of the state educational standards
and international educational programs provides as
well learning of two foreign languages.
The goal is to train highly skilled experts in international
economics who are fluent in foreign languages. The
training program provides for the combination of economics
and advanced language training. The main language
which is studied at the faculty is English, while
the second one (Spanish, Deutsch, Chinese) the students
can choose at will. As a rule the summarizing part
of the graduation thesis is done in a foreign language.
The curriculum provides a training course in the
ESADE University of Barcelona - the centre of business
education in Spain for the undergraduate (the students
pay only for the tickets).
The Institute is the Cambridge International Centre
and the forth-year students take the compulsory Travel
and Tourism exam in English to obtain the diploma
of the University of Cambridge.
The present state of economics makes high demands
of the training programs. Thus the training program
has a pronounced practical orientation. It is aimed
to define and solve concrete economic problems. Major
qualitative changes in training programs, methods
of training and training facilities, great challenges
in the future career stimulate great interest in the
Faculty of Economics of the International Tourism
