Teacher about the university

Specialties with the highest passing scores in 2012

Foreign Regional Studies

The most popular direction in the latest entrance exams. Foreign regional studies are taught at the department of international relations and foreign regional studies at the Institute of History and Archives. Much attention is paid there to foreign languages ​​and close cooperation with educational centers of those countries in which students are engaged in research. There is the possibility of internships abroad.

International relationships

International relations, as they say, are a trend, and not only at the Russian State University for the Humanities, of course. From year to year, there remains a steady demand for this area. Students - in addition to general professional subjects - will have to study both humanities and socio-economic disciplines, as well as mathematics, computer science and even natural science.

The most expensive specialty

International relationships

International relations leads both the lists of high passing grades and the lists of expensive majors. This is understandable: students can do internships at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the State Duma, embassies of foreign countries or the tax service.

Journalism

The Faculty of Journalism has the Department of Journalism, the Department of Television, Radio and Internet Technologies and the Department of Literary Criticism. There is an opinion that the Russian State University for the Humanities tries to pay great attention to the practical component of the profession.

The most mysterious specialty

Specialist in working with technotronic documentary heritage

This is taught at the Department of Audiovisual Documents and Archives, or ADA for short. Graduates of this department are “professionals with the necessary skills in creating, storing and distributing film, photo, audio and video information.”

3 important news of recent years

In June 2012, the Rossiya-1 TV channel showed a story in which journalists talked about violations in the admission of students and facts of bribery. It seems that the Russian State University for the Humanities conducted an internal audit and said that those teachers who were mentioned in the story no longer work at the university.

In the fall of 2010, the building of the Russian State University for the Humanities on Miusskaya was mined every Wednesday for several weeks. The perpetrators were never found.

In March 2011, the Educational and Scientific Laboratory named after. D.A. Prigova. The laboratory organizes lectures and training courses dedicated to Prigov, creates an electronic archive of his works, conducts “Prigov Readings” and supports research into his work.

Library

Almost the only structure of the Russian State University for the Humanities, which, as students say, is difficult to find fault with. A very large fund that allows even junior philologists to cope with the program without the help of Leninka. A systematized electronic catalog, a media library, and even a rare books department, where you can find things like correspondence between Karamzin and Lavater.

Main hangout spot

This, of course, is a courtyard formed by the buildings of the main building of the Russian State University for the Humanities. There is Wi-Fi here, trees have been planted, there are benches, and in the spring and summer they open a veranda and a cafeteria window. There is also a smoking room here - a rather unpleasant glassed-in room with a coffee machine, but without ventilation.

Dining room

As the students say, a few years ago their favorite canteen underwent a rebranding and instead of excellent chicken broths for 30 rubles they now offer, for example, Caesar with yellowed leaves. Now a full lunch in the student canteen costs the same as several business lunches. During breaks, many students run to nearby establishments like “Two Sticks” or “Daily Bread”, “ABC of Taste” or “Magnolia”. Anyone who fails to do this is forced to leave their entire stipend there during one trip to the canteen. It has three halls: a small one for teachers and staff and two large ones for students - six-meter ceilings, huge windows and counters with yoghurts, coffee, freshly squeezed juices, sandwiches and buns.

Students about the university

Tonya Krupnova
Faculty of History and Philology, 5th year

“When I decided to become a historian in the ninth grade, my parents immediately said: “So, you’ll go to the Russian State University for the Humanities.” By the end of school, my interests changed somewhat, and as a result I ended up studying philology at the Historical and Philological Institute. And I was right. My teachers were the most prominent humanities scholars, and my classmates were the most talented people imaginable. RSUH, like any large university that combines many different specialties, has its own strengths and weaknesses. It is the humanities that, due to historical circumstances, constitute the main pride and value of the university. The Institute of History and Archives, History of Art and, finally, my Institute of History and Philology - they are the ones that are worth going to the Russian State University for the Humanities. I’m not sure that the same can be said about economics or management - you have to go to specialized universities for them, and not to us. True, I have a feeling that at the Russian State University for the Humanities there is too much unnecessary stuff and they put too much emphasis on the wrong things. It would be worth supporting the humanities - they are the ones who made the name of the university. Instead, salaries are cut, and teachers, understandably, go to work at other universities. If everything continues in the same spirit, then I’m not sure that RSUH will be able to maintain its position as the largest humanitarian university in the country.”

Dima Carriers
Institute of Linguistics, 4th year

“It’s difficult for me to talk about the entire Russian State University for the Humanities as a whole: judging by my friends from other faculties, the only thing they all have in common is a mess in the schedule, when, for example, there may be five classes in a row on Monday, and one on Tuesday, and always in the middle of the day. About my department - the Institute of Linguistics - I can say that almost all of our studies are structured in such a way that in the end knowledge is acquired by those who seriously strive for it: if someone is not interested in linguistics, then they can hold out until the fifth year, no without going into too much detail; It is quite difficult to get expelled. Moreover, if you really want to learn something, then there are all the conditions for this too. That is, all lectures and seminars work, in a sense, as the first step - and then you yourself need to make at least some initial effort in the right direction: approach the lecturer, ask questions, borrow books from the library, sign up for a special course.”

Nastya Kameneva
Faculty of History and Philology, 3rd year

“I don’t know how to describe the Russian State University for the Humanities. Yes, this is an inconvenient schedule, problems with the availability of free audiences, and often a general atmosphere of slight madness. A session that begins quietly in the middle of the semester and does not necessarily end with its end. Unimaginable names of Wi-Fi access points, secret locations throughout the territory. After some time, you stop being surprised by anything at all and begin to treat your university with both irony and tenderness. However, speaking seriously, at the Russian State University for the Humanities there really is an opportunity to get a decent education. There are many strong departments, for example, the Department of German Philology of the Institute of Philology of the Russian State University for the Humanities, where I study the German language and related disciplines. There are many excellent teachers, for the sake of classes with whom you can endure inconveniences in the schedule. Students develop warm relationships with most of them, and this is probably the most valuable thing.”
