Evgenia Kondratieva (class of 2009),
Assistant for training and development of personnel, Samson-opt LLC

I am currently working at Samson-opt LLC as a staff training and development assistant (Voronezh). I started working here in the spring of 2012. And before that, I managed to work in various organizations, including in the field of child medical psychology. Professional search is not easy, but now I managed to find a field of activity in which I want to develop. I am sure that the ability to choose a job to your liking is something that, in addition to direct psychological preparation, I also learned at the Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology of VSU. In the work of training the company's personnel, psychological knowledge is very useful, especially in general, social psychology and various branches of practical psychology. At the same time, not only knowledge is important, but also the ability to think, analyze information, highlight the essence, systematic thinking, the ability to take a critical look at things. All these skills were formed at the university.

If you look more broadly, then psychological education was for me the foundation on which my idea of ​​the world and people is based. In this sense, no matter who I work for, I am a psychologist and will always remain so.

I have devoted several years to Gestalt therapy as one of the branches of psychological practice and I am not going to stop there. As with psychology in general, Gestalt therapy plays an important role in my worldview. In addition, it is a method, the possibilities of practical application of which are very wide. So this is another vast area of ​​professional growth.

In conclusion, I want to note that a real psychologist never stops in his professional development. There is always something to learn from and from whom, and this should not be forgotten. The show must go on…

Beketova Elena (graduate of 2009),
Leading Specialist of the Human Resources Department of VTB Bank 24

I received a psychological education at the Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology of Voronezh State University.

The most important thing I want to say about our faculty is that our teachers - teachers of the Department of General and Social Psychology - are excellent specialists, professionals in their field. The faculty not only helps to master the profession of a psychologist, but also provides a unique opportunity to know and understand oneself and others, as well as acquire a broad outlook, inexhaustible optimism and the ability to adapt to any life situation, realize one's professional potential in a variety of fields - from medical psychology and psychology education to business psychology and psychology of extreme situations. I fully use the psychological knowledge gained in the process of studying at VSU in my current work with the staff of a banking institution.

Ekaterina Vladimirova (class of 2007),
employee of the recruiting company "Beagle" (Moscow)

I live in Moscow, I work in the Beagle recruiting company, as a psychologist I select personnel for such well-known market players as Danone, Heineken, Carlsberg, Johnson&Johnson. I went to recruitment immediately after graduating from the Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology of the Voronezh State University (specialty "Psychology").

I am very grateful to our faculty and teachers of the Department of General and Social Psychology for the acquired skills of working with a large amount of information, analysis, as well as for the formed criticality of professional thinking. For my work it is extremely useful and necessary. The knowledge and skills gained in practice-oriented special courses on Gestalt therapy, organizational psychology, psychological diagnostics and others are very useful. And also studying in the specialty "Psychology" at VSU was significant for me, as it helped "put my brain in its place."

Irina Zavgorodnyaya (class of 2001),
Associate Professor of the Department of General and Social Psychology
Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology, VSU,
candidate of psychological sciences

I graduated with honors from the Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology in 2001 and immediately received an invitation to work in the Department of Psychology. Our graduation of specialist psychologists was the first for the faculty. Undoubtedly, this created an atmosphere of uniqueness of education, special attention of teachers to almost every student, but at the same time imposed a special responsibility on the students themselves.

Studying at the faculty allowed not only to get a professional psychological education, but also had a huge impact on the worldview and attitude to life. The subjects studied provided an excellent opportunity to get to know yourself, understand your abilities and determine the ways of their fullest realization in life.

Most of the classes for psychology students are structured in such a way that they actively interact with each other. This is of great importance for developing communication skills and making friends, and, as you know, student friendships are one of the strongest, remaining for life.

Interaction with qualified teachers of the Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology, who are interesting and bright personalities, competent professionals, creates favorable conditions for the education of a competitive specialist. Psychologists graduating from our faculty not only master the fundamental principles of psychological science, but also learn to think, make decisions independently, show a creative authorial position, which can be used in various areas of life and is especially appreciated by modern employers in a rapidly changing Russian society.

The knowledge, skills and professional and personal qualities acquired during the training allow graduates of the faculty to realize themselves in various areas of the professional activity of a psychologist, to occupy leadership positions and create significant career prospects.

Irina Khanina (class of 2011),
HR department psychologist
1 Air Force and Air Defense Command

I have never regretted that I chose the profession of a psychologist. Although studying at the Department of General and Social Psychology was difficult at times, as one of our teachers said, “the university became the first home, the library was the second, and only the own apartment was the third. ”

Now I know for sure that all the efforts were not in vain. Firstly, the knowledge that you get at the Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology is applicable in life like no other. Secondly, psychology graduates of our faculty are always in demand. Thirdly, the training is interesting, and the student and teaching teams are very friendly. Our teachers are always ready to help their students, prompt, give advice, not only on educational issues, but also on life issues.

While studying at VSU, I specialized in military psychology, and already in the 5th year I received an invitation to work as a military psychologist in the personnel department of the 1st Command of the Air Force and Air Defense. Now I have 145 military units and 31 psychologists of formations and military units of the North-Western District of Russia under my command.

Thanks to studying at the Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology, I was able to get to know myself and others better, became bolder, more self-confident. I would like to thank the dean of the faculty, the head of the department of general and social psychology, the friendly staff of this department, who had a great influence on my development as a professional.

Irina Volkova (class of 2012),
educational psychologist
MOU "Secondary School No. 57", Voronezh,

The choice of a profession, as well as a university that will best be able to educate a person, is quite difficult for some school graduates. From different sides they hear various advice, instructions and arguments about the superiority, prestige of a particular profession. Often, the choice of a profession is made under the pressure of adults or the prestige factor, to the detriment of one's own desires and abilities.

As for me, since the 7th grade I decided that I wanted to be a psychologist. Many dissuaded me, pointing out the low demand for these specialists, the low wages. But even then I knew that the profession of a psychologist is very interesting, as it allows you to communicate with a large number of people, help them cope with difficulties, and it is also useful for the person studying in this specialty. Therefore, I entered VSU at the Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology with a degree in Psychology.

Now, being already its graduate, I can note the following.

Firstly, I received high-quality knowledge, and not only theoretical, but also practical skills, since during the training we had practice every year on the basis of various organizations, including schools.

Secondly, I would like to note the high level of the teaching staff, represented by professional specialists who work not only at the university, but also have their own psychological practice. The Department of General and Social Psychology, which graduates in the specialty "Psychology", employs professionals from various areas of psychology: addiction psychology, social psychology, communication psychology, extreme psychology, psychological counseling, etc.

Thirdly, studying at the Department of General and Social Psychology of the Voronezh State University allows students to actively engage in scientific activities. Teachers always support students, help them in writing both term papers and various articles for specialized magazines and collections. In addition, while studying at our faculty, each student has the opportunity to participate in various conferences, ranging from urban to international.

Returning to the question of the demand for the profession of a psychologist, I will add the following. Psychologists are needed in any organization, many people who find themselves in a difficult situation, just not everyone talks about it.

When, at the beginning of my 5th year of study, I came to get a job at a school, despite the fact that they wanted to reduce the position of a teacher-psychologist there, I was hired with the words “We really need a psychologist. ” After these words, I realized that my specialty is in demand everywhere.

Regarding wages, it is important to know that everything depends only on your desire to work. There are many psychologists who make very good money. After all, a psychologist can work in various fields, ranging from the educational or healthcare sector to their own practice.

At the moment, having already graduated from the university, I continue to work as a psychologist at school, actively using the knowledge gained during my studies, and I am very pleased with my professional choice.

Galina Volgach (class of 2008),
director of the Voronezh branch of the recruiting company "Beagle",
Competitor of the Department of General and Social Psychology

One of the most significant periods in my life I can name studying at the Voronezh State University at the Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology, where I acquired the specialty of a psychologist. I believe that the knowledge, skills and abilities acquired by psychology students in the course of their studies, as well as the program according to which the educational process was organized at the faculty, are optimal for a modern graduate who wants to work as a psychologist. On the one hand, the studied disciplines lay the foundation for becoming a professional in the field of psychology, on the other hand, there is an opportunity to test the mastered professional tools in practice.

Upon graduation, a student opens up a huge range of career opportunities - from a PR specialist or recruitment manager to a practicing psychologist and psychology teacher.

I am very grateful to the teachers of the Department of General and Social Psychology for their patience, hard work in working with students and a truly kind human attitude!

Leonid Zaitsev (class of 2008),
Credential Security Manager
Internet companies Mail. ru

I work for a large Internet company Mail.ru as the head of the credential security department. My work is not directly related to the psychological profession, but the knowledge gained at the university helps a lot in the activities of a leader. Since the work is related to communication with clients of an Internet company, often minors, knowledge of developmental psychology, communication psychology, and organizational psychology is especially valuable. For myself, it was unexpected that in my work I would be helped by the skills and abilities gained in the study of such disciplines as "Mathematical Methods in Psychology" and "Experimental Psychology". As in many other organizations, management is always interested in numbers, and it is desirable that they be “beautiful” and with explanations. This is where knowledge of these disciplines helps me. The psychological terms "variance" and "validity" that I include in my work reports help to better explain the essence of business processes, and not only satisfy personal ambitions, but also become interesting to colleagues.

In addition, I participate in youth gatherings as a visiting psychologist and conduct group therapy sessions with participants. For the practical experience gained, I want to thank all the teachers of the Department of General and Social Psychology, but first of all those who taught us the practical side of psychology.

Finally, I note that all the knowledge gained at the faculty, one way or another influenced my present. The scientific worldview and the mathematical model of reality, fellow psychologists with whom I closely communicate, the skills of practical psychology - all this is part of my "I". And the faculty as an alma mater is the basis for the formation of my personality. All the material studied in my student years is now being used in my life dialogue with the outside world: this is knowledge about the psyche, and an understanding of the essence of the main schools of psychology, and the ability to theoretically substantiate intra- and interpersonal interactions.

Yulia Chalaya (Evdokimova) (class of 2002),
senior psychologist of the department of psychological support of the department of moral and psychological support
Voronezh Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation,
police major

Why did I come to psychology? There is no definite answer to this question. There were so many reasons that it is now difficult to say which of them turned out to be decisive (this is curiosity, and the desire to solve one's problems, and the desire to help people). At the same time, I had a rather vague and ambiguous initial idea of ​​psychology. The turning point was when, in the 10th grade, a psychologist came to our practice, with whom I tried to solve the problems and complexes that tormented me at that time. As a result, I really, by my own example, saw how it works: this is not magic or quackery, her work with me had a real result. At that time, I thought that maybe one day I could also work like that. This determined my choice - the Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology of the Voronezh State University, Department of Psychology.

Student years have become one of the most interesting and exciting periods in my life. I think that no other faculty at the university can offer a more non-standard, creative education that provides an opportunity for self-development than our faculty. I always enjoyed attending lectures, seminars, practical classes, trainings, role-playing games. Communication with faculty teachers helped to form not only an extensive theoretical base, but also a large arsenal of practical skills that allow you to feel confident at the initial stages of professional activity.

I received an excellent education, which helps me not only in my professional activities, but also in everyday life with family, friends and strangers. I am grateful to the teachers of the Department of General and Social Psychology for their patience, respect for students, for the work they do with all their heart.

A variety of practice bases, the opportunity to communicate with practicing psychologists, undoubtedly, the highly professional staff of the department, combined with the amazing unique atmosphere prevailing at the faculty, provide an opportunity to receive not only a quality education, but also create conditions for the comprehensive development of the individual.

Now I can say with confidence that I have chosen, although not an easy, but very interesting profession, which gives constant intellectual development, search and self-improvement.

In the 9th grade, attending a school psychological circle out of interest, I decided that I would be a psychologist. I could not then explain why I want to take place in this profession. It was at the level of sensations that this is mine. In the family, no one understood what kind of profession it was and “what it was eaten with”, no one believed in seriousness, and school friends laughed that, they say, you would work with psychos all your life. But I didn't care. When it came time to choose a university - I had no doubt - Voronezh University, since it has a good base, there is experience in training psychologists, and it was pointless to compare it with other universities. As experience has shown, I did not lose a single gram.

The Psychological Department of the Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology of Voronezh State University gave me the opportunity not only to realize myself in Russia, where after graduating from the university I went through the path of a psychologist of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the head of a recruitment agency, a university teacher of psychology, but also to become a professional psychologist abroad. Now I live in Israel, my diploma is recognized here and I can continue my professional career.

For me, being a psychologist means being a true professional. It is impossible in our business to be half or not, because we work with the most subtle and most fragile - the human soul.

Becoming a real psychologist is the path of a lifetime. It does not end after 5 years of study at the university, but continues every day after that. This is a creative and hard way. And the beginning of the journey, without a doubt, is the excellent education that VSU provides. Your path is your choice. I am proud of my choice.

Anna Kravchenko (class of 2006),
Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Psychology
St. Petersburg State University,
candidate of psychological sciences,
practicing psychologist in the field
psychoanalytic counseling for children and parents,
Chairman of the St. Petersburg Society for the Development of Psychoanalysis

I entered the Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology of Voronezh State University in 2001. It was a conscious decision, because even before entering, during the last two years of schooling, I had the opportunity to participate in the Scientific Society of VSU students (section "Psychology"), try my hand at research, form an idea of ​​the current moment in time the problems of psychology and their practical application, get to know and communicate with my future teachers, and also better understand what is happening with teenagers and young men, including me, choose your professional path.

In 2005, while studying at the faculty, I had a unique opportunity to participate among other students of our university in an international student exchange program and gain experience in European education in psychology at the University of Tartu (Estonia). VSU provided me with this opportunity, thanks to which I studied at the University of Tartu for a semester.

It is important for me that at the faculty I had the chance to try my hand as a psychologist working with preschool children, adolescents and adults. The bases of our practices were kindergartens, schools, a children's clinical hospital and a psychiatric hospital. The knowledge and skills in research and practical work acquired during my studies at the Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology of the Voronezh State University were useful to me when I entered the graduate school of St. Petersburg State University, which I successfully completed in 2011, having defended my Ph.D. thesis in psychology, as well as when choosing a job.

During my studies at the Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology, namely at the Department of General and Social Psychology, I gained extensive knowledge. The faculty gives the most excellent education in psychology, which allows you to work in many areas of both scientific and practical activities. Graduates of our department are valued, and I know this firsthand. A distinctive feature of the department is serious training in the field of practical psychology: psychological diagnostics, psychological counseling, socio-psychological training. With such a baggage of practical skills and abilities, graduate psychologists quickly adapt to the conditions of their professional activities.

I would like to say a few words about the scientific activities of students. A huge number of city, regional, all-Russian and international conferences in which you can participate allowed me to gain experience in public speaking, developed many of my qualities as a specialist.

It is impossible not to mention the numerous bases of practice, where future employers not only look at psychology students, but also allow them to gain practical work experience (at least it helped me with determining the area of ​​​​my professional activity).

Marina Korenyugina (class of 2009),
employee of the advertising and marketing department of AGK "Two Captains" (Moscow)

I graduated from the Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology of the Voronezh State University with a degree in Psychology. Since 2009, they have been working in the advertising and marketing department of Dva Kapitana JSC in Moscow. I also carry out investment projects in Voronezh.

I am sure that psychological education is not just your specialty, it is a lifestyle, a way of thinking and a form of worldview. The native faculty is not only directly related to my work, but in principle to my whole life. In the learning process, it is quite easy to find out what it will be interesting to do as a specialist in the future, to understand which area of ​​psychology is closer. Psychological knowledge is important and useful in any business.

Personally, it was significant for me to find a job in the commercial field, where I can apply the acquired knowledge, and also have the opportunity to continue my studies. I can say that everything that I have now, my personal and professional achievements, my dear and close circle of friends, I owe to my native faculty and my teachers.

My choice of a psychological specialty was the right one and the only one possible for me. Thanks to the faculty for the wonderful 5 years of student life.

I remember with gratitude my studies at the Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology, because it laid the foundation for my worldview and helped me become a professional in my field.

Currently I work as a psychology teacher at a university, as well as a practicing psychologist. In my professional activity, the knowledge and skills that were obtained at the faculty help in many ways: the breadth and criticality of thinking, public speaking skills, selectivity in relation to perceived information. Thanks to practical disciplines - "Psychological Workshop", "Fundamentals of Gestalt Therapy", "Psychoanalytic Counseling", etc. - I expanded my knowledge about myself, learned to see interesting, multifaceted people, and became more self-confident.

The education I received also allowed me to engage in scientific activities, participate in foreign conferences, publish my articles in Russian and foreign publications.

The Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology, in my opinion, provides a deep quality education necessary to realize oneself as a specialist not only in the field of psychology, but also in other areas.

The Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology, in my opinion, is rich not only in good specialists in their field (candidates and professors), but also in practitioners.

The faculty helps to acquire a specialty and develops the personality of each student, using an individual approach. Develops the necessary personality traits, corrects various problems and experiences. It teaches not only to understand oneself and others, but also to accept the world, oneself and others, which is necessary for every person.

The knowledge that I received at VSU is used daily in my life, at work and in interpersonal communication.

One and a half years have passed since I graduated from VSU, Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology, Department of Social Pedagogy. Exactly the same time I work at EFKO. It would seem that there could be a connection between social pedagogy and business administration, and even more so social pedagogy and the sale of special fats, the production of butter, mayonnaise, innovation, chemistry, physics and radio electronics, with which I work directly. And the connection is the most direct: in the five years of my education, I was taught to learn, taught to work in a team, and given the opportunity to form values ​​ .

In psychology, there is a law of cumulative-factorial causes, according to which the effectiveness of a person's activity is determined by 1/3 of the main factors, and by 2/3 - by microfactors. If we consider the socio-economic activity of the population, then the main factors that ensure it include the primary emotional needs of people - mania and hysteria, as well as the need for money. But these factors provide only 1/3 of the possible effectiveness of a person.

The values ​​that underlie the sense of responsibility for the family, the city, the company in which he works, combined with a sense of dignity (and not self-centeredness) can provide twice as much efficiency as the main factors. The reason for this increase in the efficiency of the human brain is a stronger release of neuropeptides into the brain as a result of the “turning on” of a much larger number of emotional centers.

The type of values ​​and the very fact of having a value largely determine the competitiveness of a given society. But in the vast majority of the population of our country, in conditions of general "twitchiness" at all levels of social structures, psychic energy provides only 1/3 of the effectiveness of activity, that is, it is determined only by the main factors. This largely explains our low competitiveness.

I am currently taking a correspondence course in the basics of managerial activity. I re-learned the basics of psychology, economics, we were given the opportunity to take a different look at the structure of our society, including the education system. And now I am sincerely grateful to the teaching staff of our department for the fact that in their classes they gave not only theory, but also showed the practical application of the knowledge gained, for forming a holistic view of the system, and not of individual categories. Thanks to the favorable atmosphere at the department and our individual group, I learned to appreciate the work in the team, so I was the headman, I formed a strong sense of responsibility for my classmates. We, being a close-knit team, did not waste our energy on fighting for the best "place in the sun" and useless competition, but together we explored new horizons. Thanks to all this, I work for a successful Russian company and hope to continue to grow and develop.

I graduated from the Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology, specializing in Social Pedagogy. The teachers of our department "Pedagogy and pedagogical psychology" are sincere, open, wise specialists who are completely dedicated to their vocation. Their ability to convey information to each student, to speak simply about the complex, using examples from personal practice and their willingness to answer all questions that arise, cannot but inspire the student for self-education. It was this enthusiasm that prompted me to continue my studies in the Master's program "Psychological and Pedagogical Education". Now I am a 2nd year master, and I am implementing my professional competencies in the work of the Center for Psychological and Pedagogical Support and Development of Children. I am also a participant in the additional educational program "Teacher of Higher Education", which is also implemented by our department.

For this huge work of my professional development, I am grateful to the entire department of "Pedagogy and Educational Psychology" and especially to my supervisor - candidate of pedagogical sciences, associate professor, Kunakovskaya Lyudmila Aleksandrovna.

I am a graduate of the Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology, Department of the History of Philosophy. Graduated from the faculty in 2010 with honors. During my studies at the faculty, I gained tremendous experience, which enriched me not only with fundamental knowledge in the field of philosophy and psychology, but also shaped my life position, priorities, and values. For many, this faculty becomes something more than just a university with brilliant teachers and a teaching system, it is a home where there is one big family. During the training, everyone has a lot of opportunities to prove themselves, plunge into the fascinating world of science and the life of the faculty.

The faculty provides a unique opportunity for graduates to take part in various grants and scholarship programs. So, in my 3rd year I became the owner of the Oxford scholarship - a joint program of Voronezh and Oxford universities, which helps to identify talented students who not only have good academic performance, but also show versatile activity in the life of the university and the faculty. Everyone has a chance - everyone is on an equal footing!

Also in my third year of study, I became the trade union organizer of the faculty and the chairman of the student hostel, which allowed me to plunge even more into interesting tasks related to the life of the student community. The student years at this faculty turned out to be so interesting that every time I remember with great joy the time spent within the walls of this faculty. I made many friends with whom I still keep in touch to this day.

Separately, I would like to say about the teachers of the Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology - real professionals in their field! Amazing programs of special courses have been developed, the information is sometimes simply unique. For teachers, the main mission is not just to present the educational material, but to interest, to tell it so that the student's eyes light up, there is a craving to learn even more. It so happened that I was also lucky to be engaged in teaching activities, and in many respects I am grateful to my teachers for identifying this interest in me.

I would like to express my special gratitude to our dean of the faculty - Yuri Alexandrovich Bubnov, whom I consider my main teacher and mentor. This is an amazing person who wholeheartedly supports the faculty, ready to support both students and teachers. He is an excellent organizer and competently defines the main vectors of the faculty development. Faculty and Yuri Alexandrovich are something inseparable.

Today, I can say with absolute certainty that I use the knowledge that I acquired at the university to the full extent - in work, in life, in study. After this faculty, I was filled with content, became individual - myself, learned to think structurally, value time and opportunity, determine what is valuable and not very valuable. That broad outlook, which is formed among the students of the faculty, allows them to realize themselves in various professional fields. In conclusion, I would like to say that I did not regret for a moment that I chose this faculty and received such an excellent education!

Many laudatory words were said about the Department of Psychology, but I would like to say a few words about the Department of Philosophy. It would seem that such a non-profit profession, what can it bring in the future? However, we often underestimate the potential that philosophy gives us. Personally, it allowed me, as it were, to look at many things from the outside, to see their essence, to see what is happening more impartially.

The philosopher uses a wide range of knowledge in all areas in which he is involved, so I was able to apply my knowledge in the public service. It's no secret that service in law enforcement agencies requires great strength, endurance. Sometimes it may seem that a person with a philosophical mindset simply cannot work in this area, but this is not so. It is the philosophical view of things, events that allows you to remain yourself, knowledge allows you to earn respect and high status in various fields.

expert in training and development of retail network employees (in the regions), Moscow

During my studies at the Philosophical Department, I repeatedly had to answer the question that has already become a byword: “And who will you work then, philosopher?”. The answer to this question alone greatly expanded the boundaries and possibilities of my imagination, enriched my vocabulary and honed my persuasive speech skills, since it is hardly possible to answer the same question in the same way for five years. And already for this - my first thanks to my native faculty, because creativity and the ability to be persuasive are the main elements in my current work activity. So the skills came in handy, I took them, I actively use them.

In general, the practical value of the experience gained during the training can hardly be overestimated - the faculty teaches you to use your head, to be, so to speak, “outside the matrix”. In a theoretical aspect, this means seeing a holistic picture of what is happening, understanding the cause-and-effect relationships and the internal logic of the process. In practical application, this makes it possible to find non-standard solutions to simple and complex problems, as well as to justify them clearly and structurally. In addition, the acquired skill of public speaking turned out to be important for me - thanks to practice - I feel quite free in the training format of working with a group.

But for me, the Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology is, first of all, the people who create the space and atmosphere of this faculty. And I must say, the people here are amazing - both teachers and students. And the space turns out to be amazing - here everyone finds something important for themselves. And someone sometimes - themselves. It happens, yes. Special thanks to the faculty for those meetings that were possible only here, and for those people whom I met and who became my close friends.

More recently, I graduated from the specialty "Culturology" of the Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology, but I can say with confidence that the five years that I was a student were not wasted. I would like to note an interesting training program that gives a broad outlook, as well as the work of teachers, thanks to which I received not only knowledge, but also such skills necessary in any activity as the ability to learn and think independently. In the learning process, there were not only the usual lectures and seminars, but also various cultural events, which, in turn, contributes to development, and this is important for each of us. It should also be said about the tasks, during which the acquired knowledge can be applied in practice. For example, during the excursions, the knowledge that I received as part of the course "Cultural Routes of Voronezh" came in handy several times. In addition, the acquired knowledge helps in translating foreign texts on various issues of culture and society.

Having received a diploma, I decided to continue my studies, and currently I am a student of the master's program in the direction of "Culturology" profile "Management in the socio-cultural sphere", which provides an excellent opportunity to deepen my knowledge in the field of cultural studies.

In general, I want to say that training in the specialty "Culturology" gives not only knowledge and skills in the field of profession related to cultural activities, but also simply vivid impressions, which is valuable in the life of any person.
