Nicholas II. The university was the first higher educational
institution established in the south of Russia. It got the status of the
State University. According to the RAEX rating agency, the
University is among the 50 best technical universities in Russia (out of more
than 1200) with the highest reputation among employers. The University is the largest educational,
cultural and scientific center of the region. Today the main activities
of the University are the training of highly qualified engineering personnel
for modern technological production and the conduct of fundamental and
applied scientific research. Graduates of the University receive a
state-recognized degree, testifying that they received higher education with
an indication of the degree / qualification and specialty. A graduate,
if desired, can receive an additional document – the “Diploma Supplement”,
which allows him to obtain the equivalence of a diploma in any country in the
world for either continuing education or employment.
University’s
Achievements 2013 The university was included in the list of
the best universities in Russia on the basis of the contest “100 best
universities and research institutes of Russia” and was awarded a gold medal. 2017 The team of the University students became
the bronze medalist of the III International Olympiad of University Students
in Theoretical Mechanics. 2017 The University was among the priority
projects of the Government of the Russian Federation and declared the center
of innovative development of the region. 2016 The team of students of the University won
the first prize in the All-Russian competitions of student clubs,
fraternities and associations “Big Tournament -2016”. 2015 Members of the University team won prizes at
the International Industrial forum “Engineers of the Future-2015”. 2012 Employees of the University were awarded
state awards and an honorary Order “For Merit to the Fatherland” Quotation / Historical
Background The University bears the name of Matvei
Ivanovich Platov, an outstanding commander, Don Ataman, a general from the
cavalry and the hero of the Patriotic War of 1812. Teachers of the
University 80% of the higher-education teaching
personnel of the University have an Academic Degree of either a Doctor or a
Candidate of Science. Professors of the University combine in
their educational activities fundamental theoretical knowledge and work
experience in modern industries. Due to this, students have the
opportunity to learn from competent professionals who are really in the
profession and know all the manufacturing processes thoroughly. Serious work is being done at the
university, aimed at forming young scientific and engineering elite. Youth
scientific laboratories have been established and are actively working at the
University. The development of the research potential of young
scientists is a strategic state task. Study at the University gives an
opportunity to communicate with talented scientists and famous professors,
which allows each student to develop his/her individual potential to the
maximum. International
cooperation The University can rightfully be considered
a center for the training of engineering personnel for the world
market. Currently more than 500 representatives of 30 foreign countries
study at the University. International activity is one of the main
directions of the University development. For the effective
implementation of this activity, the Institute for International Education
was established within the structure of the University. The Institute
has developed a number of educational programs on promising areas of science
and technology together with the leading technical universities in Germany
and the University of Applied Sciences in South Westphalia. The University is a member of Erasmus +
consortia of European programs. This allows the University to annually
participate in the exchange education programs by sending its undergraduates,
graduates and professors to foreign universities and receiving foreign
colleagues in the framework of academic mobility programs. Students of geological areas are invited to
participate in a unique program between Russian and Vietnamese Universities
“Erasmus + Mineral”. Students taking a master’s program in
instrumentation are given the opportunity to participate in the general
Russian-Chinese project “Erasmus + Inspire”. Due to the concluded and current agreements
with the German DAAD organization, the students of the University have the
opportunity to receive research scholarships as part of the internship
program “Mikhail Lomonosov”, “Immanuel Kant”, “Leonard Euler” and others. Education For 110 years of its existence the
University has produced more than 150 thousand specialists. Academic
traditions and experience help today to prepare young specialists with a high
level of education. The educational process at the University is
built on a harmonious combination of fundamental technical education and the
possession of modern practical engineering knowledge. Everything is arranged
in such a way that students acquire the necessary baggage of technical
knowledge and skills that will allow them to be in demand in competitive
labor markets. The university actively promotes future
engineers in research and development. For this purpose, various
Russian and international scientific and training seminars, conferences and
forums are regularly held at the University. Students have great
opportunities to discover their research potential. The most capable
and successful students may join the “Council of Young Scientists”. The University’s Scientific and Technical
Library, being the largest university library in the Southern Federal
District, is at the students’ disposal. Supplemental
educational opportunities The participation of the University in
various international scientific and educational programs and agreements
enables students to join academic mobility programs and take internships
abroad. Internship Study at the University assumes the
successful development of both a theoretical basis and the acquisition of
modern applied skills. Many years of established partnerships with
dozens of well-known large plants and enterprises, both in Russia and abroad,
allow students to undertake an internship in the real world of modern
production. During the internship students learn all
aspects of production, get acquainted with technical documentation and
equipment, study the details, components, mechanisms of individual
installations and production lines, perform laboratory measurements and
tests. A great virtue is that during their
internship students have the opportunity to approve themselves, to show their
abilities to potential employers. As a result, students receive an
invitation to further cooperation with the prospect of employment. Due
to the developed strategic partnership, the University increased the
guaranteed percentage of graduates’ employment up to 80%. 9 research institutes successfully operate
at the University. On their basis the students have the chance to practice
professional practical skills as well. Faculties of Platov
