Construction is an important industry in the modern world, one of the state priorities. Those applicants who have not yet decided on a future profession can search for themselves specialties from this field. Directions of building science and practice today continue to remain promising, as always. Nothing will change much in the future. Specialists in 10 and 15 years will be in demand. To receive a building education, they entered the Voronezh University of Civil Engineering several years ago . What is this university and does it exist today?
From the foundation to the end of the war
The glorious history of Voronezh State University of Civil Engineering began in 1930. A construction institute has opened in Voronezh. The basis for its creation was the industrial technical school, which had previously trained personnel in the construction, road and heat engineering departments. Immediately after the opening, the teaching staff thought about the formation of the material and technical base. In the 30s, the construction of the educational building and dormitories began.
With the outbreak of World War II, the future Voronezh State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering in Voronezh was transformed into an aviation institute. In the winter of 1941, the university had to be evacuated. He was sent to Tashkent to conduct educational activities, carry out research work of national economic and defense importance. The university’s return from evacuation dates back to 1944. In Voronezh, it got its former name - it again became an engineering and construction institute.
Academy and University
After the war, the rapid development of the university did not begin immediately. Only in the 50s did significant changes take shape - the material and technical base began to grow, the teaching staff became more and more strong. In the mid-50s, the interest of applicants to a construction university significantly increased - almost 2 times.
By the 70s, the Voronezh Civil Engineering Institute was becoming a large multidisciplinary university in the country, and was beginning to occupy leading positions among other educational institutions. It expanded the lists of faculties and specialties. In 1993, the institute, thanks to all the achievements, was transformed into the Academy of Architecture and Civil Engineering. In 2000, another status upgrade took place. The university has become a university.
These days
The usual name of the university is Voronezh University of Civil Engineering. However, it was always called a little differently, as mentioned above. The university was not just building, but architectural and construction. For many years it functioned under that name. In 2016, he was attached to one Voronezh educational institution - the State Technical University (VSTU).
Today, unfortunately, there is no longer a university with the name Voronezh University of Architecture and Civil Engineering. However, it did not disappear completely. The material and technical base, teachers, previous traditions, faculties of the Voronezh Civil Engineering University became a single whole with the VSTU, forming the Voronezh Basic University. In it today you can find structural divisions and specialties related to architecture and construction.
Structural units
In the past, there were 6 units at the Voronezh University of Civil Engineering offering higher education programs. They were called institutes - road transport, architectural, construction and technological, construction, engineering systems in construction, economics, management and information technology. There was also a unit responsible for implementing middle-level training programs — the institute of secondary vocational education.
And now we will consider structural divisions in the Voronezh support university. Today it fulfills the tasks of a construction university that existed several years ago. Specialists for the architectural and construction industry are trained in the construction and technological, construction faculty, as well as the faculty of architecture and urban planning.
Other departments of the modern university
In addition to the abovementioned units, there are other structural units at the Voronezh Basic University - faculties of engineering systems and structures, information technology and computer security, radio engineering and electronics, etc. All of them offer full-time training on existing programs. The correspondence form is available only at a special faculty of distance learning.
The reference university continues the tradition of the Voronezh University of Civil Engineering in preparing people for secondary vocational education programs. Education at the university is entrusted to the faculty of STR. Of the construction specialties, it has “construction and operation of buildings and structures”, “construction and operation of roads and airfields”. Some other programs are “design”, “information systems and programming”, “land and property relations”.
Pre-university preparation
The reference university, which combines the programs of VSTU and Voronezh State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (architectural-building, or just building university), invites applicants to apply for the faculty of pre-university education. One of the activities of this unit is the training of people in preparatory courses in selected subjects. Classes can be calculated:
- for 8 months;
- 6 months;
- 4 months;
- 4 weeks.
At the faculty of pre-university education, if you wish, you can choose specialized classes and enter them. The university has concluded agreements with some schools in Voronezh and the Voronezh region. In such educational institutions, due to established relationships, specialized classes are formed. The essence of training in them is as follows: students from grade 10 begin to study more deeply some of the disciplines in which exams are held at the university.
About university admission
Now there is no selection committee of the Voronezh University of Civil Engineering. There is only the selection committee of the main university. She begins to accept documents from applicants in June. If you have any questions, you can ask them earlier. The selection committee works at the university all year round. To clarify any information, you can call on any working day.
For each specialty, a certain number of budget and paid places is established. On the profiles of "construction" allocated more than 300 places. There are also such programs on which the budget is not provided for at all - these are the profiles “economy”, “management”, “personnel management”.
School Reviews
About Voronezh State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, reviews have always been positive. Students told them about good teachers, a friendly atmosphere at the university. After the unification of the construction university with VSTU, many began to think about whether something would change, whether the educational institution would become worse.
There were no changes in the negative direction. Today many students speak about a support university in a positive way. The university is aimed at quality education. Particular attention is paid to the practical orientation of the educational process. The University has concluded long-term practice agreements with enterprises and organizations of the Voronezh region and other constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
Voronezh State Administrative University , about which many people left positive feedback before, conveyed its traditions and approaches to teaching the Voronezh Pivot University. Now HEU is entrusted with a training mission for construction, architecture. Today, the university is coping with this mission very successfully.
