A Ramp to jump into a Big Life
Over one hundred young people representing 32 states of the world got together to obtain certificates supporting their studies at the preparatory faculty for foreign students (PFFS). In September they are going to become full-time students of Belgorod State Shukhov University to proceed with the course they have chosen. Anyway, they have already made a first step to their final goal – to get good education. To all who finished a preparatory course, PFFS became a stepping stone into a big life and a step on the way to their profession. This day everyone was recollecting and summing up the events of the academic year. Many of the students have not forgotten their arrival in Belgorod, to absolutely strange environment, where they didn’t know a single word in Russian.
After some time, owing to friendly and experienced teachers’ staff, working at the Russian language department both the students and the tutors became a big and strong family. Now the students think of their tutors as their “Russian moms” and express sincere gratitude for their teaching work. All the participants felt some regret about their study time that had passed so fast.
Certificates of Honour were given to students who had excellent marks and took an active part of the university social life during the year. The gifted representatives of friendly countries were singing songs, reciting verses, written by Russian poets, which greatly impressed the audience. Each of 11 groups got a special present: a sweet Russian round bread.
On that day the students, finishing a preparatory course got many warm wishes to successfully graduate from the university, find an interesting job, to make a good career and never forget about the preparatory faculty for foreign students, which will always keep its doors open for them.
