MY ACADEMY
Let me tell you about my Polytechnic Academy. I am really glad that I study here. It is one of the finest country’s higher educational institutions. Studying in our Academy gives a solid background in all spheres of knowledge and prepares for practical work.
Our Academy is quite large and old. It is a large school where more than 5.000 students are currently enrolled. About 3.000 of them are full-time students, like me, and the rest are part-time students. There are also about 150 graduate students. They carry out independent research work and have pedagogical practice.
The course of study in my Academy lasts five years. The academic year is divided into two terms. At the end of each term students pass examinations.
There are many faculties in my Academy. Here are some of them: the faculty of industrial automation and robotics, the faculty of plastics, the faculty of machine tools and the faculty of metalworking.
Our Academy is large and we have several buildings. One of the buildings is for lectures and seminars only. We have two laboratory buildings which are equipped with up-to-date equipment and students can carry out lab works and various experiments there. Many students from my group do their own research work.
There are also several dormitories or hostel buildings on the campus where students from other cities live.
