Elite Education at SUSU: We’re Raising Leaders!

 

In the fall of this academic year work began at South Ural State University work began at the SUSU Center of Elite Education for high-achieving students who try to realize their intellectual potential to the maximum. The project was realized within the 5-100 Russian Academic Excellence Project.

The essence of the project to give future specialists who are not pleased with the standard set of knowledge receive additional professional skills and immerse themselves into the world of science, at the same time increasing their career growth prospects from their very first year of education. Today there are already 14 such groups working.

The idea for creating this new structure in SUSU was realized like international analogues from Oxford and Cambridge. Students with high EGE scores or exam results are enrolled into the elite education groups.

Data on international scientific discoveries and technical achievements show that the secret of their success in great part lies in a serious mathematical research base. Therefore, enhanced training is organized within the elite education groups, first and foremost, in mathematics.

Students of the elite groups study courses like “Chosen chapters of higher mathematics,” “Mathematical simulation,” and “Mathematics in English”. After mastery of these disciplines, students receive documentation of their attendance of these courses. In the future, they’ll have the chance to more deeply study fundamental and related disciplines, take part in international scientific research. Thanks to this additional knowledge, students of the SUSU system of elite education get involved earlier in science and get into contact with the university’s researchers.

Beyond this, these students will be able to realize their ideas for the university’s small, innovative businesses in the near future. In the higher classes, elite group students will be brought in to work on real projects related to the interests of their future employers.

Elite education is an additional academic possibility and is not required for education in the university. This is a unique chance to mastery theoretical and applied knowledge and to develop the leadership qualities of high-level specialists.

Upon completion of their education, alumni of the elite groups receive documentation of having finished additional courses of the SUSU system of elite education.

“These will be our university’s best alumni, after whom the most prestigious companies will be running,” says professor and head of the project of elite education, Aleksandr Drozin.

Thanks to the high level of knowledge, students of the system of elite education will be able to step up to a new level of competitiveness and will be absolutely in-demand for the labor market of the region, country, and world.
