Moscow MADI. The history of the formation of the university
So what is MADI? This is the Moscow Automobile and Road State Technical University. He began his educational activity back in 1930 on the basis of one road faculty of the Moscow Transport Institute, as well as on the basis of the TsUDORTRANS Higher Road School.
In 1987, an educational and methodical educational association specializing in road specialties was created on the basis of the Moscow Automobile and Road State Technical University. It consisted of more than a hundred universities in nine specialties and nine specializations.
And only in 2000 the university opened the Volga branch of MADI (Cheboksary). The initiative to open a university in Chuvashia in order to train workers for the road transport industry was made by the International Institute of Construction and the Federal Directorate of Volga Highway with the support of republican ministries.
What is MADI in the Chuvash Republic
For several years of fruitful activity, the branch developed dynamically. The higher educational institution began work with the training of students in all three specializations that existed at that time. For comparison, we present the data for the 2014/2015 academic year: specialists are trained in three enlarged groups, seven educational programs, six enlarged groups in twelve specialties.
It should be noted that in MADI (Cheboksary) there is an opportunity to improve qualifications and receive professional retraining for certain categories of road construction workers. For this, additional education programs are created and introduced. There is also an interesting opportunity at the university for organizations and enterprises: they can carry out an order to a branch of Moscow University with the aim of retraining or advanced training of their personnel.
Faculties
Over time, structural divisions of the MADI branch underwent changes. Faculties and departments (some of them) were either abolished or transformed. Now the activities of the university are represented by the work of 3 faculties and 10 departments. The teaching staff includes highly qualified personnel: scientists, professors, doctors of sciences, candidates of sciences and associate professors. They transfer their rich professional experience and accumulated knowledge.
Faculty of Automobile and Road Engineering
It has been operating relatively recently - since July 2012. It was opened on the basis of the faculty of road transport construction and the faculty of transport equipment. Automobile and road training prepares competent and competitive professionals in the transport, construction, road and engineering fields. The faculty has two departments.
Management department
It has been operating since the opening of the Volga branch in 2000. It prepares competitive personnel who are able to implement the knowledge gained in many areas (science, production, entrepreneurship) with the aim of developing the republic and country.
The faculty is also represented by the activities of two departments.
Correspondence faculty
This faculty opened at the end of March 2002. He prepares in-demand specialists of a wide profile with the aim of their professional development and the implementation of the knowledge gained not only in his country, but also abroad. It is this faculty that closely cooperates with the automobile and road and management faculties and is responsible for the “supply and demand” of educational programs and directions, taking into account the wishes and requests for the creation of new faculties.
If you are thinking about getting an education in the field of the road transport industry in the Chuvash Republic, then before making a decision it would be better to visit the Volga branch of the institute with the goal of a better understanding of what MADI is, how it will be built and trained at each faculty. University address: Cheboksary city, Tractor Builders Avenue, building 101, building 30.
Reviews
It should be noted that opinions about both the Moscow university itself and its branch in Cheboksary are mixed. You can find both the highest and laudatory reviews of students and their parents, teaching staff and employers, as well as negative ones. However, in order to still have an objective idea of the university, as well as about the quality of education at MADI, it will be useful to study the reviews. It makes sense to look at the ranking of universities in the city and in Russia (it is provided by the electronic collection "Vuzoteka").
So what can you see there? The head university MADI itself takes 82nd place in our country, while the Volga branch - 683rd place in the Russian Federation, but 5th place in Cheboksary.
Be that as it may, the Volga branch of MADI is one of the universities that graduates specialists in the road transport complex in the Chuvash Republic. According to the statistics of the institution since its opening more than 6,000 specialists have been trained.
The university has a sufficiently resonant motto: “Ahead of time, keeping traditions, together - to the success of everyone!” And judging by the slogan, it must be that it determines the movement vector of the institution (its employees and graduates) in time and reflects the dynamics in development.
