Rgu Oil and Gas Individual Achievements. Gubkin University

Gubkin University, as many students call it, is one of the ten best universities in the country. The number of those wishing to enroll in it is increasing every year, and this is not surprising, because the demand for specialists in oil and gas technologies is growing. The article provides information about the peculiarities of the university, the rules of admission, as well as reviews of the students and graduates themselves.

Official data

Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas was founded in 1930 on the basis of the oil faculty of the Moscow Mining Academy and was called the Gubkin Moscow Oil Institute. It is located in the "academic" district of the capital, on one of the main avenues of Moscow. The legal and actual addresses of the educational institution coincide: Leninsky Prospect, building 65. The building of the university looks very fashionable, and the territory it occupies is fenced off with a high wrought-iron fence. At the entrance to the university there is a monument to the great academician Ivan Mikhailovich Gubkin, after whom this university is named.

Now the university has 9 faculties and directions, each of which, in one way or another, is associated with the oil and gas industry. There are several branches of this university not only in Russia, but also in the countries of Central Asia. One of them is located in the capital of Uzbekistan, in the city of Tashkent, the other in Turkmenistan, in Ashgabat.

The Gubkin University was formed during the collapse of the Moscow State University. Comrade Stalin on April 17, 1930, when the Supreme Soviet of the USSR issued an order on the creation of six independent institutes on the basis of the Moscow Mining Academy. These were the following: Mining, Non-ferrous metals, Peat, Ferrous metallurgy, Geological exploration and Oil.

The very first rector of the educational institution was an academician. Previously, he was a member of the teaching staff of the Mining Academy, it was he who organized a higher school for the training of specialists in engineering and technical areas. Thanks to the professional staff trained under his leadership, Soviet industry reached unprecedented heights in those years.

The first years were not easy for the Russian State University of Oil and Gas, but they went down in history as the most significant. At this time, new oil fields were discovered and developed, modern installations for the extraction and transportation of natural resources were invented, and most importantly, highly qualified personnel of the oil and gas industry were created.

University structure: faculties and directions

The main mission of the "kerosene stove" - as many students call it - is "the production of new knowledge, the development of domestic oil and gas technologies and the provision of the country with qualified specialists."

The Russian State University of Oil and Gas, whose faculties function as independent units, in addition to the main directions, also has and Here is a list of the main directions where an applicant can enter after gaining the required number of points on the exam:

The Faculty of Geology and Geophysics was founded in 1930. The main specialization is the discovery of new oil and gas fields. It includes 8 departments, each of which prepares graduates.
The Faculty of Oil and Gas Development is the main department of the university. There are ten departments and two institutes here, and a laboratory with the latest technological equipment is also open for students.
The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering graduates specialists in the design of oil and gas facilities.

The Faculty of Economics and Management at the Russian State University of Oil and Gas, the departments of which were formed back in 1930, trains economists and managers of the new generation. This is considered one of the most prestigious areas, since graduates of the Faculty of Economics in the future can occupy high positions in government bodies, as well as in oil and gas companies.

Russian State University of Oil and Gas: and Admission Rules

The passing score is the number of points scored on the Unified State Exam. On average, about 75 is required for one subject, but it should be understood that the rules for admission and admission of applicants change every year. For this reason, we advise you to carefully review the statistics of applicants for past years. For example, in 2015, there was an unprecedented increase in passing scores - the minimum threshold for the Faculty of Chemical Technology and Ecology was 260 points in three subjects.

The admission rules are very simple - you need to pass three subjects for the exam, then choose the appropriate faculties and submit a package of documents. Many areas in this university require results in the Russian language, mathematics and physics. Instead of physics, you need to pass chemistry at the faculty, and social studies at the economics department.

Olympiad

Like many other Russian universities, the Gubkin University holds several Olympiads, participation in which promises applicants some benefits. The most important Zvezda Olympiad is held among schoolchildren in grades 7-11, it is rather difficult, because it includes questions in various disciplines that require knowledge of technical, engineering and natural sciences.

Winners and awardees of the Multidisciplinary Engineering Olympiad receive admission benefits. For example, the winner is awarded 100 points for the Unified State Exam in the subject that corresponds to the topic of the Olympiad.

Preferential admission

Every year the university allocates a certain number of budget places for the so-called beneficiaries. The following persons receive the opportunity to study free of charge, subject to the establishment of official status:

disabled people of groups 1 and 2;
orphans (up to 23 years old);
an applicant containing one parent who is a disabled person of the 1st group;
military personnel of the reserve;
those whose parents died during the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant;
disabled since childhood.

For admission, it is necessary to collect documents confirming the legal status of the applicant. You can get medical certificates and opinions in any clinic where a commission is working, which examines the state of health.

Reception of foreign citizens

The Gubkin University also accepts foreign citizens from almost all countries with which an international agreement on mutual cooperation in the field of education and science has been signed. The admission rules for foreigners are completely different. Instead of the USE, internal exams are held, organized by the university itself. The tests are designed in such a way as to assess the knowledge and abilities of each applicant. Only those are enrolled who have passed the exam in the Russian language and have scored a sufficient number of points in technical subjects. In addition, training is provided for foreign citizens only on a paid basis. The cost of training (RSU of Oil and Gas pursues a policy of moderate prices, so here they are much lower compared to other international universities) averages about 200 thousand rubles per year of study. The Faculty of Law is the most expensive - 300 thousand rubles for the bachelor's program and 295 thousand rubles for the masters.

Here is the action plan for admission of foreign nationals:

Take courses of studying the Russian language, if necessary.
Choose a direction and faculty (a total of 32 undergraduate programs, 22 - master's degrees and 44 - postgraduate studies).
Hand over which are held from 12 to 16 July.
Submit a full package of documents, including originals, by August 29.
If the country is in visa agreements, then you should contact the Russian Consulate to obtain a student visa.
It remains only to pay for the tuition, if the enrollment took place in the list of applicants.

A student of this university: Sap, TA. It's time to open the veil about my favorite (not) university - Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas.
Most likely, those who have already thought about admission have heard many beautiful phrases from officials and students of this institution. "The locomotive of the oil and gas industry in Russia", "95% employment", "We are direct competitors of Moscow State University", that's all. In this regard, a perverted picture of the most rosy state of affairs in this educational institution could have formed in their heads. I will tell you: it is not so. Today's kerosene stove is, in general, a gray and average university, which should not be taken as an option for those who really want to get a quality education.
The preamble is over, then let's go point by point.
0. Humanities - just out. All that you read further, multiply by half and you will see all the economy-mebs-Jurassic, etc. IMHO, if you do not have the right relatives, then it is better to mark these faculties as marked with poison and go around a kilometer away.
1. The learning process. It looks strange to say the least. The first two courses are a kind of prefabricated hodgepodge of a variety of subjects taught in the form of an introductory course. Physics, chemistry (org-inorg), ecology, strength of materials, electrical engineering, somewhere theormech, etc., and that's all - regardless of the specialty. The amount of knowledge gained is extremely small, theoretical and in practice (industrial or scientific), by and large, is not applicable + items are constantly cut in hours. Yes, and teachers in general do not really want to explain anything to the studiosus, mostly they just boredly scold their material, and then take the exam just as boringly, giving most of the fives. Actually, these two years are the 11th grade of the school, spread over two.
Years 3 and 4 are more fun, in fact, special subjects begin. It seems to be fun, frenzy, student life - but the hell is there. Most of them already give up on school at this time, not attending classes AT ALL, using the principle of "the classroom works for you." The teachers are nowhere more loyal, the presentation of the material is the same. Oh yes, and the physical training for three whole years, which hell you will miss. Someone smarter finds a niche in scientific and social activities, someone works, someone plays Dota. But everyone has one way out after graduation, because:
2. Employment. The only truth in the words retoar and other bigwigs is the high percentage of employed people. But where? Do not expect to be immediately accepted with open arms to work in Maaaaskwa, in a candle on Nametkina. Most likely, with the coveted title of "engineer", you will be sent to work as a junior technician (read: operator) somewhere in the vast vastness (most likely - to the North. Have not seen bears - you will see, BGG). And this inflicts a psychological blow: you taught for 4 years how to properly obtain lubricants from oil, and, roughly speaking, you are ordered to turn the valve and bring coffee. The salary is appropriate for the position. Someone during their student days works more (honor and praise to them) and go abroad, someone thinks over and is transferred in time. But the bulk of them work in rather dusty positions, for rather dusty money and have no particular growth prospects.
3. Nekstati about the contingent of students. The university compares itself to Moscow State University, but it is difficult to imagine such a number of mediocre, lazy, limited students, for example, at the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of Moscow State University. Thousands of them are simply engaged in procrastination, doing something lazily, bringing in on the last day. I already spoke about the system that allows them to keep afloat in paragraph 1. In general, you want to be less likely to face questions like "what are you, the smartest here or what?" - stay away from Leninsky, 65.
4. Bribes. It's also simple here. The whole system is rotten headlong. In the university there is a carriage and a small cart of Anzorov, Akhmedov, Levonov, Arshakov, covering everything and everyone through the necessary connections. You can buy everything, from the physical test to the Miss University competition. The attitude towards money is appropriate.
5. A little thing about the hostel. Plus: not so far from the university; not much to pay; beautiful sports ground. Cons: 6 people in a 3-bed room for the entire first year; gouged into the trash; inadequate commandant; shortage of some vital items (chairs, tables and pillows). The general assessment is "with pivas will pull" if pivas does not select the student operative group (yes, there is such a thing).
6. General conclusions.
The spirit of anti-intellectualism has long reigned at the university, that is, those who have knowledge and a desire for development turn out to be alien to this kind of spirituality and have to survive, unlike the stupid idiots who came to sit out their pants, whose 4 years fly by like (choose the turn yourself) ... Let me take a thought from the preamble again: stay away from this place if you want to get a normal education and get a normal job. Choose MIPT, Baumanka, Polytech, MEPhI, and even MISIS - but not that.
P.S. And looking at the conjuncture of oil prices, there is another reason to think about entering here.
