Jurisprudence with advanced study of the Chinese language. Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China and St. Petersburg State University agreed to expand cooperation

Student of this university: Hello everyone) I'll tell you about the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences of St. Petersburg State University.
First, a few introductory letters: I studied at the law faculty in Moscow (Moscow State Law Academy), I realized that this was not mine, I wanted something as interesting as possible (the law faculty is still boring), unusual, but at the same time in demand at a prestigious university. I read a lot of positive reviews about the Federal Penitentiary Service of St. Petersburg State University, I re-enrolled in the 1st year, and now you have to read my rave reviews)))

I don't know who created this place, but it's insanely cool here! Honestly, without a grain of irony and lies, I constantly thank God for finding such a place and that I'm studying here because I like everything ...
To make it easier to read, I will write down everything point by point.

1. what kind of faculty it is, who they teach there: all students are very creative, critically thinking people, inquisitive activists. after the 4th semester, we are offered to realize ourselves in a specific direction, of which there are a lot (I just have a choice after this semester): history of art, history of civilizations, cinema and video, cognitive research (neurophysiology, cognitive psychology, etc.), computer science and artificial intelligence, literature (as an alternative to journalism), international relationships and political science, music, complex systems (neurocomputing, neuro-modeling, etc.), sociology and anthropology, philosophy, economics, history and culture of Islam, life sciences (bioinformatics).
Almost all profiles are focused on training specialists of the future. we study in English and Russian. I want to go to computer science and artificial intelligence, I think this will be in great demand in the near future and it will be very interesting to study. the education strategy is liberally oriented, atypical for Russia.

2. about training: the main thing for me is that it is very interesting for me here. It is difficult to imagine a student who would run to the university with a smile of 32 teeth, but know that there are such people, and this is at least me))) it is very fun to study. this is some kind of unreal environment of all sorts of interesting and useful things, there is no dry teaching and tedious lecturing, you are completely immersed in the learning process, explaining everything in a very accessible and easy way. half of the students leave for a semester to study abroad) is also a very attractive moment. The faculty cooperates with many foreign universities... it is still possible to create your own curriculum. By the way, regardless of your profile, you will receive two diplomas: St. Petersburg State University and Bard College. Almost all training is based on research work and critical dialogue, not dry teaching. there are a lot of disciplines from different areas: from economics to biology. Courses are taught in Russian and english language.
3. what is at the faculty: we have our own library, many laboratories, there are all sorts of additional. classes, for example, in video editing, electronic music, photography and others. there are still more than 300 different courses: abstract algebra, video art, Hollywood and a lot of interesting things, there are courses in various fields (there are also language courses). They kind of make up your curriculum, all this is chosen by the student himself and you yourself completely choose what you will study. Moreover, you must take courses from different directions: philological, economic, natural scientific, and others. There is a debate club in English and many language courses.
4. about the teachers: all are very strong, interesting, professional. I especially love Professor Chernigovskaya (biologist), she explains her subject in an incredibly interesting way. These are not the people who scolded everything that was written there from the synopsis and were getting ready to go home. These are the people who are constantly open to everything new, they really teach students, teach them how to think, do science, participate in various conferences, and publish in scientific journals. We have a system at the faculty that the more merit the teacher has, the higher his salary, so everyone is constantly improving))) By the way, the dean is Kudrin, the former minister of finance.
5.practice: in very different places, from the Hermitage to foreign research institutes... I know that many graduates have gone to work abroad, there is an acquaintance who works in London (in the world's largest American investment bank J.P. Morgan). They say that a diploma is appreciated and there are no problems with employment, but it seems to me that everything depends on the profile. By the way, the faculty assists the best students in finding employment.
6. extracurricular life: many classes (acting, for example, and others), a football club and much more (there are both at the faculty and spbgushnoe). well, they organize various conferences, competitions, debates.
7. Difficulty of training: depends on the courses chosen, the baggage of existing knowledge and teachers. not too difficult, but not easy either. in difficulty, somewhere in 7-8 out of 10. Maybe the huge complexity is not noticed, because all this arouses interest and a desire to learn it))) that is, not a burden, but a joy)
8. of the minuses: how would you be taught everything, you will be a fully developed personality, you will be well versed in everything in general, because here you will be taught politics, biology, physics, economics, and much more. But there is still no narrow specialization, despite the many profiles, so, for example, in economics, I would advise nevertheless to go to a specialized university or to an ekfak (despite the fact that we really have a very strong economic program), but for those who interesting is history, philology, art and everything that smells of novelty (neurolinguistics, artificial intelligence, etc.), the doors are open here and you will not regret it at all. Another minus is that there is no organization, everything is free to such an extent that you may not know your classmates at all if you have chosen different disciplines.
9. of the pluses: a huge impetus to development, the desire to learn everything around; two diplomas (USA and Russia); strong English, many native speakers; free curriculum, comprehensive training, hundreds of courses to choose from; famous teachers; prestigious university; liberal education; interesting learning process; the opportunity to study different foreign languages; a semester abroad or three weeks of English training in New York; small groups; employment for best students in Russian and foreign organizations; has its own electronic system, where there are all courses in electronic form, where it is possible to communicate with other students and teachers, to discuss something and receive additional material; very developed scientific activity; close cooperation with EUSP, Bard College and NRU HSE St. Petersburg; not a typical Russian, but a very European education (for SPbGU as a whole, this is not typical, except for the GSOM and us, very few people are oriented towards Europe); make you not cram for the sake of assessment, but think and analyze; it is not just an education, but a family - a way of life and thoughts; training in historic center cities; teach independence and critical thinking.
10.my verdict: those who want to get a high-quality, comprehensive, modern education are definitely worth it - you will not be disappointed for sure, all students really like this cool place)
