The Department of «Geology and exploration of mineral deposits»
Recall of the student of the GRMP chair – about the academic mobility program
Dear students, specialties “Geology and exploration of mineral deposits”.
I, Ulgibayeva Begim, a 3rd-year student of the specialty “Geology and Prospecting for Mineral Deposits”, started studying under the academic mobility program from January 10, 2018, becoming the winner of the competition for studies at this University.
I want to tell you and offer mobility training at Tomsk Polytechnic University.
When I first arrived, yes, it was certainly difficult to get used to another student environment. But it did not last long. Since the teachers are the same with respect to all. Teachers of the highest level, interesting subjects, cognitive materials! At conferences that are held regularly, you can learn a lot of useful and necessary information. You can do scientific work. Competent teachers will always help to understand the subject. The timetable is designed in such a way that it is convenient for students. Educational buildings more than 20. It is worth noting that some buildings have retained their appearance since the opening of the university, which is more than 100 years old.
The hostel is good: in sections, 4 rooms, in each room there are 2-3 students. The room has everything for the necessary accommodation and a gym on the ground floor is available.
The University conducts many different extracurricular activities: sports, creative, intellectual. Students always have something to do. Foreign students conduct all sorts of activities that characterize their country. For example, I attend Chinese meetings. Chinese students have created a club, and they each week gather an audience and talk about their country, how they celebrate their holidays, what customs there are, etc. And then there’s the club, “Speaking English”, where you can learn English by speaking with native speakers. We Kazakhstanis also organized a cultural club in order to show our culture, customs.
In general, if you ask me “Is it worth to come to study at TPU?”, I always answer “Of course, YES!”. You will receive a high-quality education and will spend a lot of fun in the beautiful city. ADVICE. You will not regret.
